17:01:15 From Frode Hegland : https://thefutureoftext.org/xr/
17:02:11 From Alan Laidlaw : Yes, saw this. Very professional!
17:02:24 From Frode Hegland : Aww… generative AI to the rescue !!!
17:07:04 From Frode Hegland : (The second video on that page)
17:10:12 From Mark Anderson : Story in textiles: Two row wampum. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Row_Wampum_Treaty
17:12:01 From Frode Hegland : OK, please type your suggestions for themes here!
17:14:04 From Frode Hegland : How to express it? Write or guided writing? Doug writing system: https://youtu.be/KG9RKkLZklo?si=FuLl6xgbxGYofuwP
17:14:18 From Keith Martin : The classic “do as I mean not as I say” 🙂
17:15:41 From Alan Laidlaw : My dad has a wampum belt made by Crazy Horse for his great great great(?) grandfather for saving his son.
17:16:17 From Frode Hegland : Oh wow!
17:16:18 From Mark Anderson : Reacted to “My dad has a wampum …” with 👍🏻
17:16:35 From Rob Swigart : two row wampun, right, Mark
17:17:54 From Alan Laidlaw : Fabien, rebuttal: Analytic philosophy changes your mind in order to learn it. And it is useful. But this doesn’t mean it is an accurate model of the world. It is like learning a philosophical fantasy.
17:18:31 From Alan Laidlaw : But I see your point and agree with it
17:20:01 From Frode Hegland : Mark, please go ahead
17:20:05 From Frode Hegland : I think I’m part frozen
17:21:15 From Fabien Benetou : “A programming language that doesn’t change the way you think is not worth learning.”
Alan Perlis
17:21:30 From Fabien Benetou : Reacted to “Fabien, rebuttal: …” with 👍
17:22:00 From Frode Hegland : Not all minds fit, or would benefit, from programming thinking, I feel I need to add…
17:23:32 From Alan Laidlaw : Btw, Im very open to the possibility that a natural programming lang is a bad idea. I’m not convinced of the value of informal langs or langs that piggyback off natural heuristics.
17:24:08 From Fabien Benetou : IMHO introspection could help a lot there but still one would have to understand the concepts first
17:24:17 From Mark Anderson : Nor me – no fixed position on Nat Prog Lang.
17:26:17 From Fabien Benetou : reference please on the levels of programming languages pedagogy Peter, first time I hear about it
17:26:38 From Alan Laidlaw : One of the problems was probably expressed by Kant. We are fine w local programming languages when it comes to a hammer, screwdriver, or text messages. The problem appears when the tool and problem space is not scoped or immediate.
17:27:17 From Alan Laidlaw : (Poorly worded but that’s the gist)
17:27:25 From Frode Hegland : Not programming lang. but richly interactive environments.
17:28:11 From Alan Laidlaw : Shiram prog lang book?
17:28:54 From Peter Wasilko : https://cs.brown.edu/~sk/Publications/Papers/Published/
17:28:55 From Mark Anderson : Perhaps we get hung up on the term programming. Generalised, aren’t we talking about declaring our intent (in an unambiguous manner)
17:29:54 From Peter Wasilko : http://www.emshort.com/ifmu/inform.html
17:31:14 From Alan Laidlaw : Would you say that one should be able to fix their car engine? Or at least be able to understand what may be broken?
17:32:28 From Keith Martin : I use LiveCode to make apps and utilities. It’s significantly more like plain English than AppleScript. Of course it comes with its own limitations, but my use of HyperTalk then SuperTalk then LiveCode (all directly related) has been transformational in terms of learning structured thinking. (And making apps.)

17:35:38 From Rob Swigart : Here is your ham sandwich
17:35:54 From Frode Hegland : Yes and there are so many layers of literacy so absolutely agree. Understanding the notion of code is part of that, absolutely

17:36:53 From Bill Bly : Replying to “https://xkcd.com/151…”
¡Excelente!
17:37:00 From Frode Hegland : Writing a spec/pseudo code is important part of this
17:39:35 From Alan Laidlaw : (The car example was an intentional land mine)

17:41:13 From Alan Laidlaw : The key is the portability of the knowledge- but that is always leaky at best. I can fix a 72 diesel Mercedes but not a Tesla or taurus

17:43:10 From Frode Hegland : Video fx. It’s not about relinquishing, it’s about where you put it, like sovereignty.

17:46:04 From Frode Hegland : Write text for action? Oh yes…
17:46:38 From Keith Martin : Totally agree. But if schools decide Excel is the way to teach kids programming we’re doomed.
17:48:11 From Frode Hegland : pseudo code
17:48:11 From Alan Laidlaw : Papert’s Literacy vs letteracy
17:48:13 From Mark Anderson : When talking/thinking across an expertise divide a real challenge is trying to figure which professed constraints are real which an acquired belief.
17:48:24 From Keith Martin : Programming concepts are far more important than worrying about which kind of brace or parentheses should be used. (Which is why I like LiveCode, but that’s its own rabbit hole.)
17:48:41 From Peter Wasilko : Reacted to “Programming *concept…” with ❤️
17:48:55 From Alan Laidlaw : Reacted to “Programming *concept…” with ❤️
17:49:09 From Fabien Benetou : ScratchJr is “just” blocks, the syntax is visually understandable without having to be able to read
17:50:05 From Keith Martin : Reacted to “ScratchJr is “just” …” with 👍
17:50:22 From Alan Laidlaw : Similar argument could be made for requiring kids to watch old movies. I don’t know where I fall on that.
17:51:31 From Keith Martin : Not easy – but exciting, empowering, enlightening…
17:52:11 From Alan Laidlaw : A game to embody high dimensional coordinate
17:54:33 From Fabien Benetou : Makes me think I should do a text based IronMan, namely they code their superpower, being able to pin them on their wrist or fingers as if assembling their “outfit”
17:55:12 From Frode Hegland : The PC revolution is ways over and constrained.
17:55:19 From Keith Martin : Reacted to “Makes me think I sho…” with 👏
17:56:24 From Frode Hegland : Teaching kids that the picture in the resume should be of them standing in front of a screen, looking like they are making a presentation
17:57:53 From Frode Hegland : Teaching engineering to build a house, architecture, interior design, psychology of spaces. Pilots ranks. Cannot program everything
18:01:08 From Alan Laidlaw : Right. learning bureaucracy is unfortunately a kind of literacy.
18:02:22 From Fabien Benetou : the argument being that being able to be program is itself more accessible
18:02:43 From Bill Bly : Gentlemen, I have to go. Thank you all for the fascinating conversation — and vigorous argument! I’d like to have a discussion about what XR is doing to Reality…
18:03:08 From Alan Laidlaw : Thanks Bill!
18:03:08 From Alan Laidlaw : I have to go as well
