G-WAN is a new free web server. They seem to be very proud of it, or at least just want to make a lot of money. Well anyway, in almost every sentence they write, they claim that they are 20% cooler than anything else. It feels a bit arrogant. I have to admit, I don't know a lot about web servers, so I can't speak to how good they are.

However, then I saw their Captcha example. I also don't know much about machine learning algorithms, OCR, and stuff like that, but I do know how to read pixels. I also know how to compare values with python :P

They say the following about their Captcha:

  for (var i = 0; i < values.length; i++) {
    result += values[i] / Math.pow(1 + rate, moment(dates[i]).diff(moment(dates[0]), 'days') / 365);
  }
  return result;
}

Clojure is for Aristotelians

I was reading ["Clojure is for Type B Personalities"][2] and it sparked some thoughts I had about the intersection of western philosophy and programming.

One could say Mathematics is an extension of Epistemology. And all theory about computability are an extension of mathematics. I reckon how one thinks about computability and how one writes computable functions are a reflection of a person's natural epistemological tendencies. This is going to be just as unscientific as ["Clojure is for Type B Personalities"][2], but hopefully another

###Do & Show & Tell

Don't try to explain everything with something interactive. Use interactivity only when interactivity works best, otherwise, supplement it with text & images. Also keep in mind the overlaps of Do & Show & Tell: when text interacts with the diagrams (e.g. Tangle), and vice versa.

Text: Best at describing very abstract concepts.
Graphs: Best at showing broad relationships at a glance.
Animations: Best at showing temporal relationships.
Interactives: Best at showing processes, systems, models. (See final slide on Procedural Rhetoric)
