Got laid off from google today. Found out when my Google Nest Pacemaker stopped working (it was registered under my work email). Had to perform home surgery to jailbreak it. Still believe in the Google Mission tho

idea: a projective view that emphasizes the characters you actually typed, dimming all text that was tab-completed
ALT a dozen lines of reasonml code. about half the characters in the code have been dimmed. each symbol is a contiguous span of 0 or more undimmed characters, with the remaining contiguous span being dimmed.

choosing between code and GUIs should be malleable and composable. mockup of hazel data pipeline with interleaved visualizations for direct-manipulation-driven rewriting of the underlying syntax. feat @tldraw arrows as usual

absolutely stunning. a whole new style to me. 'fence diagram (geology)' doesn't even have a wikipedia entry. i'm curious if any rock enthusiasts in the audience have a feeling for if these are well known and or actually useful🧵

how much memory should your app take at idle? there is a simple rule of thumb: multiply your screen dimensions by your color depth. if your footprint exceeds your screen buffer, you are concealing state from your users. what are you trying to hide? why are you lying to them?

3 years later: @dm_0ney and I, finally staring down the barrel of a multilingual structured editor with character-for-character text entry
Don't know what possessed me but I actually wrote a semantically correct program in #fructure tonight instead of my usual gibberish. Above is the sequence of keystrokes which evoked it.

this is what doing a phd is like
Due to floating point imprecision, the rolling log in Tall, Tall Mountain in Super Mario 64 can be very slowly manipulated to go sideways through the cliff. It takes 36 days of nonstop manipulation to reach the limit of how far it can go. This has no currently known purpose.

just because the second is more challenging (pernicious intersection of formal ontology and cognitive ergonomics) doesn't mean we should shy away from it
Every year I teach CS theory, I find that I need to apologize less and less about having so much math content. CS practice is getting more & more mathy.
Now I just ask students if they want to their future job to be one where they read texts of first type, or the second type:

my first published credit! i was a relative latecomer to this project, but was able to build on the work of @neurocy , @dm_0ney, @NickMCThree, @ravi_chugh et al through my contribution of enabling users to write their own live GUIs within the Hazel language/editor (GIFS BELOW!)

#fructure is now 20% closer to the fluid editing experience I originally envisaged! If you want, you can just type more-or-less normally for entry purposes. Check out the character history displayed above: parentheses are often unnecessary, some significant gotchas.
