    Really pleased about this! Looking forward to talking more about all the work that went into this project, and how these ideas could be taken further, in San Diego next year (for my first ever academic conference and publication!)

    security warning: it is possible, under certain conditions, to read some bits of information from a LaTeX error message, which in a low but nonnegligible fraction of circumstances could theoretically be used by an attacker to figure out why the build failed

    1/ I used to think specialized software to replace messy spreadsheets was unequivocal progress. Now I'm more conflicted. Feels a bit like saying "Find the people who are still cooking at home, and sell them more restaurant food"

    This is my new favorite galaxy brain stackoverflow answer: abusing double-precision float behavior to make discontinuous CSS rules. It works and I truly hate it.

    Software interfaces undervalue peripheral vision! (a thread) My physical space is full of subtle cues. Books I read or bought most recently are lying out. Papers are lying in stacks on my desk, roughly arranged by their relationships.

    I'm amused by how the hierarchical filesystem began as a concept for end users: 'your data & documents are files that go into folders!' but more and more, 'files' have morphed into something vestigial which only matters to programmers and to the operating system

    New identity discovered that links Eigenvectors and Eigenvalues. This one should hit the textbooks pretty fast.

    A laser can be used to send inaudible commands from far away to the always-on surveillance microphone you paid to have installed in your home.

    We worry so much about reusability. It's nuts. 90% of written code never even survives to shipping (it gets rewritten at some point), let alone reuse. Optimize for refactoring, which is often in direct opposition to reusability.

    when you learn how to use a piece of software, you're not just learning hotkeys and buttons; you're adopting this ontology that the software maker was swimming in

    Tools for thought are a beautiful idea—inventions which can “change the thought patterns of an entire civilization.” But that’s a 30 year old quote. Why are they so hard to make? and I try to answer that question and suggest paths forward:

    We're in this awkward transitional phase where half the important things are Files and half the important things are URLs and there's no coherent/good way to organize them together.

    2/ We're so habituated to "apps" but they have major limitations. Apps don't adapt to our needs, we adapt to their prefab structure. They reinforce the strict split between users and developers. "Software" isn't actually soft! It's rigid.

    i love 'constrained imagination' arguments. that's my soft spot

    Second, and running somewhat counter to the first effect, I believe that the empirical turn has significantly constrained the political imagination in terms of the sets of policies considered. This effect is noticeable for instance in the field of development economics, the subfield of economics that has most enthusiastically embraced randomized field experiments as its leading source of evidence…

    I definitely wouldn't hesitate to speak like that in describing these kinds of visualisations though. Here are a few more screenshots, this time an assortment of pages from Blender.

    Straight, winding, compact, splayed, sparse, dense, noisy, peaceful, diverse, uniform, blocky, fluid, grimy, clean, floral, plain... not typically words you would encounter in reverse engineering! Not to mention spatial relationships like "up a few pages near the brownish sludge"
