Drawing Dynamic Visualizations - A revolution in programming and math

by Tom Fitzpatrick

Bret Victor, an Oakland resident, keeps blowing my mind. His latest video is about programming by drawing geometries. Most Mathematicians work in pictures or with their kinesthetic sense, however, programming is algebriac in nature - it is blind symbol manipulation. He argues we have thus far merely emulated old drawing mediums with computer's without utilizing their potential for simulation. http://worrydream.com/#!/DrawingDynamicVisualizationsTalk The site is loaded with gems. Inventing on principle changed my life. His reading list is the finest I've seen. I've read to varying levels of completion about 20 so far and haven't been disappointed yet. It comprises a complete curriculum in winning. http://worrydream.com/#!/Links

Re: [sudo-discuss] Putting "SudoRoom opening hours status" on the front page

I've since merged them and synced their names, so now the canonical repo that I hope everyone will continue using is in these two places: https://gitorious.org/sudoor/sudoor https://github.com/yardenac/sudoor I'm not sure where sudoor-addcode lives, but I'd like to merge that in as well. Just to avoid confusion, other places I'm aware of are: https://gitorious.org/doorman/doorman <--- No longer exists; renamed to sudoor https://github.com/jaekwon/sudoroom_doorman <--- distant ancestor of current code Is anybody aware of any other places where code is hiding?

Re: [sudo-discuss] Controllers Digest, Vol 2, Issue 2

I think the cheap lilypad i got is bust--from the error messages and what i get on stackoverlfow it might be a ahrdware issue, so I didn't get to get anything working.

Putting "SudoRoom opening hours status" on the front page

by Romy Ilano

Hi alls I made a wordpress page SudoRoom Status https://sudoroom.org/sudoroom-status/ I'd like for this eventually to be on the front sudoroom page It is not currently on the front page. we could have a web app with a big green light that shows that the space is open on a particular day it is often confusing for visitors sometimes non members want to stop by and hang out, bringing wood equipment etc. and they are not sure if it will be open or not what do you think?

3D printer nozzle not heating up

by Yardena Cohen

This has been a problem since Saturday morning. I'm told it may be a bad connection but I don't know what to do about it. Would anyone knowledgeable be willing to teach me how to troubleshoot and fix this, so we can start printing things again? Thanks!

Re: [sudo-discuss] Choose Your Own Adventure

by Vicky Knox

Yay! On that thread, the CYOA game designer I mentioned yesterday who I learned about via the April Oakland Nights Live is Porpentine. She designs games that are centered around queer/trans/female experience. The game she walked us through was the "High End Customizable Sauna Experience": http://aliendovecote.com/?p=4732 It's super fun! I really enjoyed speaking with her during intermission. Maybe we could see if she'd be interested in joining a writers' meetup, maybe a Choose Your Own Adventure-themed one? On that note, how do my writing kin feel about theming meetups? Maybe I should save this for the writers' list, but I just can't heelp it at this point...:P

Fwd: CFP - Drones & Aerial Robotics Conference @ NYU Law, Oct 11-13

by Eddan Katz

of likely interest to Sudo folk... > From: Christopher Kin-Man Wong <christopher.k.wong(a)nyu.edu> > Date: May 20, 2013, 3:08:57 PM PDT > Subject: [Ipprofs] CFP - Drones & Aerial Robotics Conference @ NYU Law, Oct 11-13 > > Apologies for cross-posting. > > On October 11-13, the Engelberg Center on Innovation Law & Policy at NYU School of Law will convene the Drones & Aerial Robotics Conference, a first of it's kind, massively interdisciplinary event to explore a 360 degree view of civilian drones and their impact on society. > > Registration will open in the next few weeks but we're putting out a call for proposals now that I thought would be of interest to many of you. The CfP is below, and you can find more information at droneconference.org. Please feel free to distribute widely. Thanks in advance for your time and consideration. > > Kind regards, > Chris > > --- > > Call for Proposals > Drones & Aerial Robotics Conference > October 11-13, 2013 > NYU School of Law > > The program committee of the inaugural Drones & Aerial Robotics Conference (DARC) is now inviting proposals from individuals across a broad spectrum of expertise. DARC will convene a wide range of stakeholders to explore civilian drones and their impact on society. The conference is presented by the Engelberg Center on Innovation Law & Policy at NYU School of Law and will be held October 11-13, 2013. We invite contributions from all interested disciplines on or before May 27, 2013. > > ABOUT DARC > > What do hobbyists, journalists, university researchers, soldiers, and police all have in common? They're all testing or using aerial robotics, commonly called "drones." > > Imagine a near future in which networks of autonomous robots roam the skies, performing everything from law enforcement, to communications, to crop dusting, shipping and logistics. Sound implausible? It might be. But that's the future that the aerospace industry, the FAA, and a new class of entrepreneurs are busy preparing. And this future is closer to reality than many realize. Drones force a broad reconsideration of the laws and regulatory frameworks that protect vital interests like civil liberties, due process, privacy, innovation, and security. But they also herald new innovations and new public interest applications. > > These technologies are powered by some of the same phenomena that propel the mobile industry—Moore's law, economies of scale, and ever more sophisticated software built by large companies or open source hackers. Anyone can buy a toy drone at the mall for $299, assemble a relatively capable DIY drone for $1000, or buy a sophisticated $50,000 aircraft for amateur photogrammetry. > > As the FAA scrambles to meet its 2015 integration deadline—which will open domestic airspace to hobby aircraft as well as the types of aircraft that currently fly over Afghanistan—DARC provides a forum for entrepreneurs, policy makers, and civil libertarians to constructively engage. Join us this Fall to explore this fascinating, emergent space. > PROPOSALS > > There are few technologies that stimulate such deep and wide-ranging questions about law, technology, and international relations. We welcome all proposals, but please stay substantive and constructive. This list is not exhaustive, but we invite proposals along the following lines: > Anecdotal talks > Popular research > Demos or tutorials > Scholarly research > Constructive discussions > Proposals should address -- but are not limited to -- our five main areas of interest: > General Interest & Zeitgeist > Makers & Entrepreneurs > Law & Regulation > Privacy & Surveillance > Security > Proposals can be submitted via the conference website at https://droneconference.org/proposals. Proposals will be accepted until May 27, 2013. Questions may be sent to contact(a)droneconference.org > > > -- > Christopher Wong > Executive Director > Engelberg Center on Innovation Law & Policy > NYU School of Law > Wilf Hall 408 > 212.998.6595 > christopher.k.wong(a)nyu.edu > ______________________________
