Technical Dimensions of Feedback in Live Programming Systems by Josh Horowitz

This episode is about the paper Technical Dimensions of Feedback in Live Programming Systems by Josh Horowitz. [THIS SPACE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK] [SERIOUSLY, IF YOU WANT SOMETHING HERE, WRITE IT YOURSELF] [NO PROMISES. MAKE IT GOOD] It's a solid episode &mdash; that's my take. You should listen to it instead of reading about it. And then give us your take. Links $ Gang, I'm sorry this episode is months late. It was a real doozy! But also, the bonus episodes over on our Patreon have been getting wildly ambitious. I did an insanely edited 54-minute video about The Browser Company. We had William Taysom over to share a deep critical analysis of The Witness. Jimmy and I shared what we'd do with our lives if we weren't doing computer stuff. And most recently, we spilled the design tea on two recent projects we've been working on &mdash; Jimmy's Whiteboard visual programming system, and Tenfold from Ink &amp; Switch. If you like the FoC podcast, you'll get so much more of it for $5/month at feelingoff.com. Audio Hijack &mdash; this is the program we use to record the podcast. It has "Canadian Juice", which is a joke only Lu will get, but Lu isn't going to read this. But you all know what "juice" is, right? It's what Andrew Blinn does better than anyone, and he IS reading this. He fucking better be. Am I narrowcasting? Jimmy mentioned Notes from the Underground. I haven't read it, so I can't add snark. Sorry. We're making backend changes! Stay tuned. The new website for this podcast will be feelingof.com. You should check out that website, cool stuff there, and they have a podcast. The Hest podcast, which Ivan has always self-hosted (so to speak), is, basically, 38 episodes of Ivan describing what he's devoting his life to, one episode about the combat loop of the video game Death Stranding, and one episode about getting smaller and smaller forever, but make it music and about Ivan's misspent youth. If you're reading this and you haven't listened to it, what the hell are you doing! You'll love it so much! PlayBook is the project that the Programmable Ink folks at Ink &amp; Switch have been working on since January 2024. Ivan is one of those folks. I'm one of those Ivans. Specifically, this is "the show notes writing Ivan". Have you met? He writes the show notes. I commentate on his work. This&hellip;&nbsp;paper(!)&hellip; was originally presented as a talk at LIVE PROG &mdash; which is almost a FOUR FOUR&nbsp;&mdash; in 2024 as a talk called Definitions &amp; Dimensions of Liveness. Jimmy and Lu and I were in the room! Maybe that's the last time we'll ever be in the room. (Did you listen to the free 2025 holiday spectacular?) You sat along the fire&hellip; you saw the light&hellip; you saw. You're Sigur R&oacute;s, you're so. Why am I crying? Inventing on Principle &mdash; do we need to link to this? If you're reading these show notes and you haven't watched this talk, email hello@feelingof.com and I'll give you a virtual hug because you're listening to our podcast without getting, like, any of the jokes? Observable &mdash; same snark as previous Projection Boxes &mdash;&nbsp;now this one, I hadn't heard of, but if you have heard of it reach out and tell me about it so that I can be in on our jokes.
