This reflective acrylic sheet shows how 1980s illustrators were able to trace real-life objects on the computer. Once it was aligned, it reflected whatever was in front of it over the monitor's display, allowing artists to trace it in a tool like MacPaint or MS Paint. Simple, low tech and effective.

- vandal
- barbarian
- satrap
- ladino (at least in spanish)
- bohemian

At some point the shape rotators, looking down on the wordcels, created an artificial wordcel.
After some time they noticed that the artificial wordcel was really good at rotating shapes.
Now the shape rotators are freaking out.

Here's a little spatial / tangible tool I made to explore an algorithm with my hands and eyes.
I saw an error diffusion matrix on wikipedia and it looked vaguely like a circle, so I built this board game-inspired tool to feel out just how spatial it actually was.

2025 has been an incredible year for Gleam adoption, but sadly not for funding, with GitHub sponsorship dropping ~10%. It's not a disaster as we're careful with finances, but it's not a good trend.
How can we do better at turning users into supporters?

Your questions refer to implementation/engineering; so I have to talk about impl/eng.
You say: The point isn't the implementation, but the idea/science, and you think of the idea as a thing of the same kind as the implementation, though also different. Here the implementation, there the idea.

Your questions refer to words; so I have to talk about words.

anyone know any Good Discourse on "what is programming anyway"?
random examples of Good Discourse:
- Melanie Hoff's "Always Already Programming" (gist.github.com/melaniehoff/...) & Lucy Keer's reflection on it (lucykeer.com/notebucket/a...)
- PROGRAMme (programme.hypotheses.org)

Things my hands know:
- shift h/l: go to left/right vim buffer
- alt h/l: go to left/right wezterm panel
- ctrl b + n/p: go to next/prev term tab
- super n: go to nth gnome virtual desktop
By not having an explicit target we flatten the namespace so that each shortcut has to be globally unique

A while ago I noticed that the vim theme I was using looked like a christmas tree full of different bright colors
I decided to experiment and switch to a simpler theme (example below)
A week in and I notice no negative effect
Is there any study on the productivity effects of syntax highlighting?
