In June 2019, we (Bret, Luke, Josh, Paula, Omar, Weiwei) collected all of our Dynamicland-related photos and videos onto a "documentation drive". The media was organized both by date and by Realtalk project or topic. We also also made a giant table in Notion of all notable Realtalk projects, with notes and page numbers. In early 2020, I got media from Toby and Glen, and added the subsequent media from Luke, Josh, and Omar.Last week, I made some Realtalk pages to scan the collection, assign every file an "accession number" of the form DL2018-01-31-debb83.mov(where 2018-01-31 is the date the photo/video was taken, and debb83 is the first six digits of the file's md5), tag the files based on their old directory names and filenames, generate a new directory structure of the form, archived-media/originals/2018/01/DL2018-01-31-debb83.movgenerate thumbnails of the form archived-media/thumbnails/2018/01/DL2018-01-31-debb83.jpgand print out an album.
Interesante esta mezcla de digital a análogo y las herramientas que en el domino digital continúan usando (drives, Notion, etc). Por supuesto, el grupo está enfocado en la segunda parte y sus innovaciones (Realtak, etc) y no en las innovaciones en la primera (drive, Notion). Dado que nosotros sí nos enfocamos en esta gestión alterna de conocimiento en lo digital, usando infraestructuras de bolsillo, metaherramientas y programación intersticial, cómo esto podría tener una contraparte y puente en análogo, lowtech, similar a Hypertalk in the world

At the end of the day many of us that are innovators always find ourselves busy with the next thing we are innovating and rarely look around at the context. To be expected to look beyond the context to other forks is too much for any sane individual. because all of the forks are using trunk based development and are moving targets.
En Grafoscopio, miramos consistentemente hacia los lados, incluso más allá de la comunidad que estamos construyendo al mezclar cosas como HedgeDoc, TiddlyWiki, Pharo, GToolkit, Markdeep y Fossil en nuestro flujos de trabajo y obteniendo flujos mucho más sencillos que recreando todo en una sóla herramienta o mezclando/extendiendo herramientas más populares.
Incluso, al migrar aprendizajes desde Grafoscopio hacia Lepiter, estamos mirando hacia el lado y no sufriendo del síndrome de No Inventado Acá (NHI).
Ahora bien, lo que sí nos ha pasado con entornos Smalltalk (Pharo primero y ahora GT), es la sensación de estar desarrollando para un plataforma en continuo movimiento, con las (des)ventajas que ello trae. Una manera de fijar requerimientos y construir a partir de allí sería extremadamente útil.

es una herramienta para hacer anotaciones a lecturas en y fuera de línea, que estén en formatos PDF y HTML. Dicha herramienta está hecha por una fundación sin ánimo de lucro y su misión es hacer de la lectura anotada algo
Me parece una gran herramienta para encontrar documento en formato PDF Y HTML con información en el ámbito académico y que se pueda interactuar con otros grupos sobre el contenido de esos documentos. La verdad puede ser una buena herramienta para el sector académico pero creo que esta muy limitado por el simple echo de usar un leguaje de programación limitado.

When developing systems, people often focus on current or immediate functionality. That is shortsighted and dangerous. Functionality is indeed a business asset, but the ability to adapt to changes in the surrounding environment depends on the non-functional parts. The New Jersey unemployment system did its job just fine until recently. Its functionality did not deteriorate. It was the environment that changed and this made the system is no longer adequate. It now needs to be recycled to match the new reality.To recycle a system implies taking it apart and refurbishing it for other purposes. However, before we can take it apart, we first have to understand the parts.
en mutabiT resonamos con la comprensión y (de)construcción de los sistemas tecnosociales desde una pregunta por "¿cómo cambiamos los artefactos digitales que nos cambian?" y desde ahí creamos narrativas de datos y artefactos intersticiales que ayudan interconectar dichos sistemas tecnosociales y extenderlos desde sus fronteras.

# And this is the bytecode benchmark translated from Squeak
Muy interesante cómo traducir código de un entorno al otro ayuda a aprender el otro. Podría usarse para mis propios procesos de aprendizaje

While Simula was not unique in developing in this direction, we can observe in thismovement a moment in a larger divergence between math and programming. Despite theinitial design plans, they quickly moved away from thinking of the language in terms ofmathematic
[...]
Within computation, there are those such asNygaard and Dahl, who see programming breaking with mathematics, while there are thosewho stress the mathematical nature of computation.
Interesante como esto atañe a carreras como Informática-Matemática, desafortunadamente extinta por la miopía de un exdirector del Departamento de Matemáticas en la Universidad Javeriana.

Corporate practices can be directly hostile to individuals with exceptional skills and initiative in technical matters. I consider such management of technical people cruel and wasteful. Kierkegaard was a strong proponent for the individual against “the crowd” and has some serious discussion of the importance of aesthetics and ethical behavior. I couldn’t point to a specific language feature and say, “See, there’s the influence of the nineteenth-century philosopher,” but he is one of the roots of my reluctance to eliminate “expert level” features, to abolish “misuses,” and to limit features to support only uses that I know to be useful. I’m not particularly fond of Kierkegaard’s religious philosophy, though.
Interesante ver cómo el lenguaje de programación es diseñado como una prevención contra la cultura corporativa.

TR: In retrospect, in designing C++, wasn’t your decision to trade off programmer efficiency, security, and software reliability for run time performance a fundamental mistake?BS: Well, I don’t think I made such a trade-off. I want elegant and efficient code. Sometimes I get it. These dichotomies (between efficiency versus correctness, efficiency versus programmer time, efficiency versus high-level, et cetera.) are bogus.What I did do was to design C++ as first of all a systems programming language: I wanted to be able to write device drivers, embedded systems, and other code that needed to use hardware directly. Next, I wanted C++ to be a good language for designing tools. That required flexibility and performance, but also the ability to express elegant interfaces.

And without real changes in user behavior, software suppliers are unlikely to change.

People reward developers who deliver software that is cheap, buggy, and first. That’s because people want fancy new gadgets now.

Software developers have become adept at the difficult art of building reasonably reliable systems out of unreliable parts. The snag is that often we do not know exactly how we did it: a system just “sort of evolved” into something minimally acceptable. Personally, I prefer to know when a system will work, and why it will.

To draw an analogy with computer coding, we might say that financial instruments are analogous to ‘high-level’ programming languages such as Java or Ruby: they let you string commands together in order to perform certain actions. You want to get resources from A to B over time? Well, we can program a financial instrument to do that for you.
Interesante analogía. Habría que mirar cómo las prácticas cooperativistas pueden impulsar flujos de A hacia B y estar sustentandos en varios sustratos materiales, algunos con poca tecnología (monedas locales) y otros con alta tecnología (bitcoins, ethereum, etc).
