Remaining FoC Thinking Tasks

• lineage chart with licklighter, elnglebart, ted nelson, alan kay, BV, chris granger, jonthan edwards, etc, etc
• video conference only conference with day of 1:1 meetings
• language with primitives for differentiating and integrating, also parallels with mapping function on list as a raise in abstraction
• schedule podcacsts #18
• ask Alex adelman for intro Kevin Ryan
• Alex adelman's idea emailing squarespace and Weebly CTO and head up their r and d
• case for learned index data structures from David nolan
• check out reframe clojurescript as redux
• email Jonathan Edwards for just 1 meeting not mentorship
• schedule future of programming meeting
• Connell Elliot talks about hiding information via abstraction so that it's not leaking. this is scary because you need instrumentation in order to debug. What if interpretive mode you break the extraction for debugging but when compiled you close it somehow
• figure out what the classic database view-update problem has to do with the front-end view update problem and how it relates to this paper https://icfp18.sigplan.org/event/icfp-2018-papers-incremental-relational-lenses
• from Omar - flash was successful at getting kids making complex things, great learning curve
• idea from Kyle: run conference or meetups like 1:1 meetings. could match via swiping or profiles
• project: what do I have about the elm/redux architecture and what does cyclejs seem to promise but then can't deliver on?
• specifying asyc ordering at a restaurant. when you put in the order. how grouped. when brought out
• why does building a simple typechecker seem so easy? union types seem quite simple. parameterized types also seem simple. numbers seem simple from a S S Z perspective. I'm sure there's a way to represent decimals too. Ok, it's beginning to get a bit complex... Especially because the user shouldn't get errors in the S S Z format......
• apply to https://2018.splashcon.org/track/live-2018-papers
• write essay about gravity and timer scratch, as well as glide and one other I'm forgetting about. Sean McCormick live programming experience vs how I do in Woof halls
• might there be some sort of trade off between beautiful denotational design and less abstraction. in other words: I don't want to have to solve fundamental research problems to get my code to compile. sometimes too abstract code is undecidable but we just need an approximation. ditto for too rigid types. ex gravity sim as a constraint solver vs an iterative thing in 5 lines
• do something with the notes with murukesh https://docs.google.com/document/d/12gsgrG-S-7E0osjWIECjeWjAQgHWEq0Zsuxcjru7PTU/edit#
• why do we have SQL and also nested data on the front end? can we unify by normalizing front end? is that like Eve? Datomic?
• what do I want to read and why? what questions do I have? what are my known unknowns vs unknown unknowns? what would I want to write about? what would I do if I couldn’t read? which books do I know I need to read now? how long do I think will it take? how much $$ will I need? maybe wire it to a separate account? or think about earning that much, or talking to parents about it, or talking to Eli about it, or business venture with Jonathan...? or getting a part time job...?
• Roblox Users made $30 million in 2017! For creating games
• think about COLLABORATIVE SOFTWARE IDE, two or 5 player (minecraft but more powerful ideas)
• just read for 5 years to pickle myself isn't very inspiring. success in that is very simple. the goal can be to produce writing that gets a certain number of view or another metric. let's think about producing a certain level of thought or engagement with my thoughts. at least think through that. not just means focused
• problem with pickling in Joseph Campbell sense is hard to communicate. need to write plan or post about self directed PhD so I can explain what I’m doing
• “education from first principles.” positive philosophy Dewey education and experience. (also http://www.gettingsmart.com/2016/04/rethinking-education-from-first-principles/)
• don't forget prioritizing github issues / is this a good places for thoughts? not version controlled, not on main webite
• maybe start with one old prototype video and put it out there and see what response it gets - how many hours would that take? maybe start with a gif on twitter? maybe turn woofjs homepage into gif?
• think more about stefan lesser notes at the bottom
• TOOD re-read jaime brandon notes (both of them)
• Alan Kay’s mission may be my own: consciously design our tools. or consciously design tools to allow which allow others to design their own tools
• translating something to another language is normal. translating something to another audience could be too. programming. managers. etc. chicken soup for the teenage soul. also just like how you have the same html that can be totally different with css, I wonder if you could mark where you use analogies so that they could be replaced for the relevant audience. a better metaphor may be internationalizationing a product
• am I done when there’s a next step after scratch or woofjs that hudson and Asher can make stuff with? is that bubble? what of logichub? what of a precise language for law? one way to describe programming: the art of the precise. we want to empower people to express themselves precisely. is that the aim or is it less lofty than that, simply allow kids to make what they want?
• publish my reviews of people’s prototypes like Samuel loncar?
• making frp easier by having sequential semantics and we abstract to frp - like how joyJS can go from derivative iterative to continuous. logo and Nicky cases language and derivative thinking from inside vs implicit matjmstcal thinking from outside. two sides of same coin?
• turns proejcts into gifs and tweet it like woofjs demo
• derek sivers how to start a movement
• every six months experiment with a non technical person and see how “far” you can go
• talk to free code camp guy about article ideas
