Rohan Kumar	07e19edbaf	Incorporate feedback from TWIM discussion ... This article received some good feedback from #twim:matrix.org in Matrix. Some clarifications I made: - @cos:hacklab.fi mentioned that Element/Synapse are open-source; I opened the article by mentioning that FOSS alone isn't enough and added a note on their complexity to the matrix/element case-study - @sorunome:sorunome.de mentioned that there is no "reference implementation" of Matrix; I rephrased a sentence to state that Element "practically serves as the reference client implementation". - Clarify that Element builds "most of" the spec instead of being in charge of it; the Spec Core Team (SCT) is a different entity but is made mostly of Element employees. - Changed leaving implementations out of decisions to leaving implementation feasibility out of decisions.	2021-02-26 12:54:56 -08:00

Rohan Kumar	d364a8fb9f	Batman!! (this commit has no parents) ... The sight of an animal using a JavaScript captivates Computer Scientists and laymen alike, perhaps because it forces us to question some of our ideas about human uniqueness. Does the animal know how JavaScript works? Did it anticipate the need for the tool and select it instead of Haskell or Zig? To some, this fascination with JavaScript seems arbitrary and anthropocentric; after all, animals engage in many other complex activities, like Agile Planning and ordering Juice on the Internet. However, we know that complex behaviour need not be cognitively demanding. JavaScript development can therefore provide a powerful window into the minds of animals, and help us to learn what capacities we share with them — and what might have changed to allow for the incontrovertibly unique levels of technology shown by modern humans, such as integers and block scope.	2020-11-03 15:52:34 -08:00
