Bookmarks

A list of bookmarks, largely uncurated. Not all are valid. Many aren't even significant. Some are obsolete by now. This is not any kind of definitive, or even recommended, list.

There should be a better way to organise these.

They're things I saw linked to and thought I might want to look at in detail sometime.

Maybe I'll try to divide it into an organised and a disorganised part?

Let me know if you see anything here that shouldn't be public.

Racket

Racket is an implementation of Scheme, a Lisp derivative. Well, not just an implementation, and not quite an implementation. It differs in a number of ways, notably in preferring immutable data structures (but nor requiring them), in its extensive set of libraries, some of which actually implement new interoperable languages.

  • Cozy Mystery Construction Kit It's a construction kit, disguised as a game. The "players" aren't prinariy trying to sove a mystery, they are also trying to collaboratively write a mystery story. It's their meta-knowedge of potential story structure that is guiding them, as they introduce actions that serve the story instead of merely their onv characters' motivations. It's not entirely clear to me whether this tool is intended to be a game or to be used by game creators. It's a bit like the plot calculus I was trying to develop a few years ago, but done with much better resources.

• Conceptual Mathematics: a first introduction to categories, by f. William Lawvere and Stephen H. Schanuel

  • When I first encountered category theory decades ago, it was extremely challenging to get into it, at least partially because the examples in the available books were all from highly esoteric fields of mathematics. Maybe the ideas were simple, but the explanations and examples were not. I was delighted recently to find this book that started with elementary ideas and built category theory up gradually. It’s a good introduction to the subject, without assuming a lot of advanced math. You can buy an elegant printed copy from the usual booksellers, but a pdf is also available online.

quote

For instance, I tried searching for "Why is the Higgs mechanism needed?" and I only found news articles that basically said "because it gives particles mass!"

Instead of Google searches it's probably better to get a stock of QFT books like Itzykson and Zuber, Weinberg, and so on. Even if you can't understand all the details, there are some very nice paragraphs here and there.

Easier books, which I find to be full of wisdom, are these:

Kerson Huang, Quarks, Leptons & Gauge Fields, World Scientific, Singapore, 1982.

L. B. Okun, Leptons and Quarks, translated from Russian by V. I. Kisin, North-Holland, 1982. (Huang's book is better on mathematical aspects of gauge theory and topology; Okun's book is better on what we actually observe particles to do.)

T. D. Lee, Particle Physics and Introduction to Field Theory, Harwood, 1981.

  • Restarting a stalled project according to Mary Robenette Kowal, transcript:

    • Restarting a stalled project
    • Step one, write down what you think is wrong with it before you reread it
    • Step two, reread and note any problemd that are additional
    • Step three, write down a game plan for how you would fix it
    • Step four, begin writing where you left off as if you have already fixed the things Don't fix them yet. Why? Because you might be wrong. But more importantly, probably the reason you stalled before was because you were going back and trying to make things perfrct. They don't have to be perfect on your first draft. The only time you go back and do those corrections is that there's really a vital piece of information as a writer can ony figure out by writing that scene. And even there, my recommendation would be to only write that scene. Now this comes with the caveat that not all writing advice works for all writers.
    • But try this.
      1. Write down the problem that you think you have.
      2. Reread.
      3. Then make a game plan.
      4. Begin writing as if you have already fixed it.

I asked him what was the appeal of Unitarianism. He told me that though most Unitarians don't believe in the divinity of Jesus, it's the only church he could find that was actually living the teachings of Jesus; that he was certain if Jesus was alive today he'd probably be a Unitarian.
