Live.js is neat, but I don’t know why you would include it in the document. I just put it in a userscript for 127.0.0.1. https://livejs.com/

We can’t just copy & photoshop around the edges. Better worry about those definitely-soon-to-exist quantum computers that might crack cryptography.

Wanna learn LaTeX?

Basically, it’s how big boys write and format documents.
Every public brief, scientific article, book, cryptocurrency whitepaper or even outline written by people who know what they’re doing is written in LaTeX.

If you want to see examples of documents made with LaTeX, you can see my Master’s thesis here or another paper here that shows some diagrams and other features you can have in LaTe … ⌘ Read more

Documentation on i2c devices is so-so. Lots of good documentation on higher-level APIs, but not a lot of “this register does this” stuff.

finally finished all the initial ugen documentation. everything now has a sentence or two. the generated page can be accessed from the ugen wiki page [[/proj/monolith/wiki/ugens]] #updates #monolith

been adopting a document-as-you go approach to the !monolith wiki. as I dogfood my software to make pieces an etudes like !breathing_cards, I write about it in a wiki stub. #workflow #documentation

The master plan is to export the !worgle bits of !monolith to a !weewiki, then begin adding user-level documentation that is able to dynamically reference bits of source code as another wiki page.

while eventually I hope to get all of literate org parts of !monolith posted online as a self contained !weewiki, I’ve decided to post little pieces as self-contained documents. here is a copy of !trigvm, the toy VM used to power a rhythmic computer-sequencer controlled entirely from the !monome_grid

I really want !btprnt to be integrated into !weewiki somehow. Both can speak !janet, and I already figured how to embed PNG images inside of an HTML document. In small doses, it could be fun. #halfbakedideas

I mean, ‘quietly’ is a bit misleading since this has been in the news every few years for more than a decade, but you all might need a reminder: https://qz.com/1002927/computer-printers-have-been-quietly-embedding-tracking-codes-in-documents-for-decades/

Poor documentation is overrated as an attribute of jokes. (Some of my favorite jokes are literally humorous attempts at explaining other jokes.) The difference between standup comedy & UI design is even bad comics know this.

I love books about the history of tech, but no matter how well-researched, they’re typically mostly a documentation of tech’s mythology (or some countermythology). I prefer the countermythographies.

I documented what I’m trying to do with MfoM, so that I can write a proper postmortem later: https://medium.com/@/mfom-pre-postmortem-92683b15ff2c

In one sense, ‘the computer revolution is over’ because the period of exponential growth behind the tech ended 10 years ago. In another sense, it hasn’t begun: we have sheltered ourselves from the social and intellectual ramifications of computing. Documents are still simulations of paper, & capitalism still exists. So it’s like that period where printing presses existed but everybody used a faux-calligraphic font.

Hot take: any command that a user might want to use regularly should be short, memorable, and built-in; any command that a user might really NEED to use should be documented & included in the examples in built-in documentation.

Javascript is a just-OK language saddled with the world’s worst graphics toolkit: three distinct languages, each with specs so large that nobody has written a new implementation in 20 years, for live-editing a rich tech document to make it resemble a canvas, in ways that are not portable between the 3 implementations or minor revisions of the same implementation.

Have you tried documenting the problem so that future implementations need to reproduce it?

Some successes are documented, like one hive of eight humans and one octopus (needed for routing). But it was immobile and incomprehensible.
