technoplato··on Swift Playgrounds for macOS
I’ve been a developer for about 8 years now and have even already learned a decent amount of Swift.

I still had a blast getting the adorable character (Byte-) to navigate around the puzzles.

They even get into some simple yet cool path traversal algorithms that I’m sure grow in complexity if you keep going.

I’m going to download these and have a lot of fun with them.

Would love to see this kind of paradigm evolve into more complex domains.

Your thoughts on Hooks?

Is it just the pairing of React / Redux you find unappealing?

Your feedback is disappointingly vague but you seem passionate about it so I assume there’s something deeper here.

technoplato··on Pi Connects Colliding Blocks to a Quantum Search Algorithm
While this may be obvious to anyone familiar with elementary physics, it’s still fascinating that it shows up in something called “quantum search”!

Who could possibly have imagined that somehow search relates to something cyclic?

I guess when you think about classical search algorithms, there back and forth and back and forth, but still!

I just saw the quantum country article pop up yesterday and have since been doing a lot of reading on the authors: Andy Matuschuck & Michael Nielsen

I started with their mnemonic medium and look forward to diving into quantum country.

What an exciting time to want to learn!

technoplato··on An account is now required to read Reddit comment threads?
We’re there ever attempts to skin Usenet with friendly interfaces like old reddit?

Any resources you can point me to? I’m really interested in these concepts.

technoplato··on Twitter funding a team to develop an open standard for social media
I don’t see anything preventing this from being built externally other than API usage restrictions. Ways to get around those, too.

I’m building something like that right now.

We dint even need an open protocol for it, just a reasonable aggregator.

What are some things that you’ve deprogrammed yourself from and how did you find the stories that did so?
technoplato··on Japanese hotel room costs $1 a night, but you have to livestream your stay
What if you turn this around though and rather than the hotel owner take 100% of the profit (assuredly from ads as the article mentions), create a fungible digital token that tenants “earn” when staying at the hotel and stake interest against speculation in the token, therefore sharing the profit with those that are part of generating it - the actors so to speak.

Of course this doesn’t apply to sex trade but I’m just curious on picking your brain here.

Would love a bit of engagement into the idea rather than just downvotes. Specifically into the idea of how to create mechanisms by which the free market could produce ethical outcomes at least moreso than current practices.

technoplato··on Open Letter to the Linux Foundation
Man I have to sympathize with you here. It seems no matter the opinion you express people are jumping down your throat. I just want to say that, to me, it appears you’re doing a good job of expressing your opinion in a kind way.

I would love to see hostile tensions like these die out online very soon.
