    As a student of computing science, I am endlessly fascinated by the idea that we overcome binary thinking by adding more digits. 5/

    Much of software architecting and API design is the art of not answering questions too quickly.

    How delightfully meta to notice myself reusing other people’s thought patterns in my own thinking. Reminds me of one of my favorite essays, The Ecstasy of Influence, which makes its point by being largely plagiarized.

    Just realized this is the “finite and infinite games” pattern applied to open source.

    This is why there’s always a tension in open source projects that put a lot of effort into branding and “magic” behavior. It’s fine for some tastes, but it promotes a consumerist relationship to third-party code. Exactly the opposite of the spirit of open source.

    An open source project is so much more than the finished product; it’s an artifact of someone’s thinking process. The point is not just to make a new thing; it’s to help everyone write better code.

    I like the “selfish gene” approach to writing open source code—that is, to aim at not only creating a useful product, but getting your coding patterns reused and imitated widely in other projects.

    34. Unit testing creates parallax, because it requires the programmer to show the code’s behavior explicitly, in addition to having an internal model of why it works. It’s no guarantee of correctness, but two “eyes” are better than one.

    33. The concept of parallax is useful here. It’s a generalization of “adding dimensionality.” Even if it’s not a “proper” dimension, a second point of view is useful.

    32. To be more succinct about this point: bilingual people have a head start on being metasystematic

    22. High inequality is not a cosmically righteous outcome of enlightened market economics and innovation-fueled growth and people who believe that merely lack the theological imagination to worship something more interesting than financial wealth

    TIL Chrome lets you shift- or cmd-click multiple tabs and then drag them all together into a new window. As someone who can't stand having a lot of tabs open without at least a little verbal clue what they are, I'm happy about this.

    10. Been reading ma mate Pema Chödrön a lot recently; she describes compassion as being able to witness someone’s suffering without looking away. Actually a ridiculously courageous act when seen that way.

    6. Governments are poorly suited to take care of many of the problems they have been left to fix (Most human difficulties that should be dealt w. deep empathy fall into this category) The church is an entity that (in its ideal form) should be radically devoted to these problems

    The jury’s out on whether this language aids or obstructs understanding, net. It becomes natural after a degree of practice, but is a big barrier to entry. What I like most about it is that its monosyllabic-ness. Maybe that’s the Chinese in me.

    A polarizing example of this is the meme language used by the early devs at . I lock my gems into a cup (CDP) to draw Dai, but if the spot (price) of the gems (Ether) drops below the mat, someone can bite my cup and take my gems.
