A strange loop is created when a massive and extensible symbolic system, designed to represent the outside world, twists back around and begins representing itself. This locking-in rapid evolution creates a dynamic, self-stabilizing, macroscopic illusion of a solid self. -
Well said. Esp. when things are HARD, like the wicked problems that ail our world, #ClimateChange for instance. Everyone should contribute their fair share, right? Give just their 2 cents?
#Emergence deals with radical #Simplicity. But simple ain't easy.
Wicked problems require wicked solutions. Numerous tiny #solution increments made all over the place by different people. It requires 'thinking at scale' for prolonged times, and 'doing' on the basis of that. In terms of planning for that 'Bigger Ideas' need time to mature and ripen, and this too involves many people. And is emergent and evolutionary in nature too! This great animation on "Where good ideas come from" calls this the 'Slow Hunch"..

#SX's slow hunch took 11 years.
There's another great vid by Rich HIckey, creator of #Clojure, besides "Hammock Driven Development" mentioned in the article, titled "Simple made Easy" given at a #StrangeLoop conference..

@levelbot Actually they are only at 99%... until we say it's 100%, that is, that makes it 100%, which means it is 99%...

From this simple and entirely logical premise comes an astonishing realization that modern #science itself may be wrong (incomplete). It shouldn't be too surprising. Our own theories have evolved over time as well and those theories model reality 🤔
How's that for a #strangeloop ?

@mykhaylo @jbz now I need to try both! I heard about Babashka at the last #StrangeLoop and… it slipped out of my mind
I can probably get #SchemeSh packaged in #Fedora easily, we already have #ChezScheme
-
@garrett @hub indeed. We need to get better at doing this ... When #StrangeLoop wound down the organizers suggested something like this could be the future, but in practice people still want to get together because we have not solved replacing the #HallwayTrack yet

Still bummed out that Strange Loop isn't happening anymore. Does anyone know of similar conferences? #strangeloop

@billseitz Happy to make a connection about connections!
Here's an upcoming paper about how the IETF makes protocols about protocols: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tgZ86ugijXPUOo_lD3kLfQBPbneecUNzZim1GOgkC1M/edit #Internet #protocols #meta #selfreference #strangeloop

CW: DevOps esoterica
I had not heard of Jean Yang or Akita software and was surprised how much her #strangeloop 2022 talk aligned with my experience
https://youtu.be/UJA4PGKny2k?si=V28_TOq0I0CqfxTdParticularly with the notion that we learn a lot from #o11y of behavior.
I'm excited to see what happens in my #homelab -
If you can't get enough @roguelike_con (#RoguelikeCelebration), here's a talk from this year's #Strangeloop from @pyrofoux on #ProcGen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nq5C82Nn7XM&list=PLcGKfGEEONaBNsY_bOj8IhbCPvj6OAdWo&index=40 (Oatmeal is cheap: A fundamental theorem for procedural generators)
More talks starting in about an hour!

ok here is a... strange loop:

I really enjoyed this #strangeloop talk about procedural generation. Having experimented with it quite a bit in the past (and continuing to do so!) it's extraordinarily easy to create an endless sea of samey algorithmic mash, much trickier to turn that into something interesting.
