acer-boxI lost a lot of respect for MS (Mark Shuttleworth) when he insinuated that being against #microsoft is akin to racism. As if people are born Microsoft employees. Obviously it's a choice. They choose to participate in the crimes. Zemlin said it's like "kicking a puppy".Aug 05 05:40
acer-boxZemlin and Shuttleworth comparing criticism of crime to "kicking a puppy" and racism is like a bandit saying #police "bullies" him, far right gov. of #israel calling its critics "antisemites" and Muslims saying people who disbelief fiction "insult" them (or the Prophet)Aug 05 05:45
schestowitz[09:37] <MrGreen> Oh.. and one other thing.. The day before I went to #Prison - I stopped by MSFT HQ asking to speak to Satya N. (CEO) Aug 05 05:59
schestowitz[09:38] <schestowitz> he's not their bossAug 05 05:59
schestowitz[09:38] <schestowitz> Gates isAug 05 05:59
schestowitz[09:38] <schestowitz> Gates can fire him any timeAug 05 05:59
schestowitz[09:38] <schestowitz> IMHO he's mostly used for their perception management strategyAug 05 05:59
schestowitz[09:39] <MrGreen> I happened to be with a Netflix film-crew and instead of bringing him down - they evacuated the building. Literally everyone left out the back and guards manned the elevators . It's all on film.. Aug 05 05:59
schestowitz[09:39] <MrGreen> You herd it here first. Aug 05 05:59
schestowitz[09:39] <MrGreen> lolAug 05 05:59
schestowitz[09:39] <schestowitz> Microsoft has a serious interference and racism issueAug 05 05:59
schestowitz[09:39] <schestowitz> Intolerance I meanAug 05 06:00
schestowitz[09:40] <schestowitz> they are aware of it, theee are many lawsuitsAug 05 06:00
schestowitz[09:40] <MrGreen> So, When I asked the guards, "I am here to see MSFT CEO" they replied, "Well - As you can see outside, I think he is enjoying the sunny weather".. Aug 05 06:00
schestowitz[09:41] <MrGreen> I looked outside and sure enough - all the cars in the HQ Parking lot were gone. Aug 05 06:00
schestowitz[09:41] <schestowitz> it would be a PR disaster if he spokeAug 05 06:00
schestowitz[09:41] <schestowitz> he's terrible at speakingAug 05 06:00

schestowitz[09:42] <MrGreen> I then asked, "Do you know who I am?" and he said, "Your Clifford Eric Lundgren and you just dropped off petitions at our other campus"Aug 05 06:03
schestowitz[09:43] <MrGreen> So then I said, "Well.. I don't care - I'll wait to speak to Satya Nadella for as long as it takes" Aug 05 06:03
schestowitz[09:43] <schestowitz> while you were behind bars he had other scandalsAug 05 06:03
schestowitz[09:43] <MrGreen> The guard replied, "Sir, we know you don't have a lot of time left.. You may want to spend it with your family." Aug 05 06:03
schestowitz[09:43] <schestowitz> Microsoft bragged about its ICE contractsAug 05 06:03
schestowitz[09:43] <schestowitz> while babies were put in cagesAug 05 06:03
schestowitz[09:43] <schestowitz> and they profited from itAug 05 06:03
schestowitz[09:44] <schestowitz> then Nadella sent an email full of lies to all staffAug 05 06:03
schestowitz[09:44] <MrGreen> He was right too.. I was scheduled to self-surrender the very next day.Aug 05 06:03
schestowitz[09:44] <MrGreen> Man.. You know everything about MSFT! : )Aug 05 06:03
schestowitz[09:44] <schestowitz> techrights is used by people who sue MicrosoftAug 05 06:03
schestowitz[09:45] <schestowitz> your case too will help themAug 05 06:03
schestowitz[09:47] <MrGreen> The last 13 months of my life were hell, and the (3) years leading up to it.. I really hope good can come from all this. Aug 05 06:03
schestowitz[09:47] <schestowitz> it's the whole 'martyrdom'  thingAug 05 06:03
schestowitz[09:47] <schestowitz> you suffer so others might not need toAug 05 06:03
schestowitz[09:48] <schestowitz> not going into the whole 'suffer for your sins" thing, just saying that notes you took can help other recyclersAug 05 06:03
schestowitz[09:48] <MrGreen> My plan is to keep fighting eWaste and helping people. I just need to be smarter at how I go about doing so.. Aug 05 06:03
schestowitz[09:48] <schestowitz> you have the 'mother lode' of stuff Microsoft is desperate to ensure never comes upAug 05 06:03
schestowitz[09:48] <schestowitz> e.g. by retaliating against publishersAug 05 06:03
schestowitz[09:49] <schestowitz> when I published EPO leaks the EPO started silencing media companies in EuropeAug 05 06:03
schestowitz[09:49] <schestowitz> I have 3 articles to do about it later todayAug 05 06:03
schestowitz[09:49] <schestowitz> ("if you cover eric blah blah.. we will stop buying ads etc.")Aug 05 06:03
schestowitz[09:50] <schestowitz> ads are reverse-bribe-type media leverage, I have internal Microsoft documents showing how they do it and plan itAug 05 06:03

schestowitzI’d like to see a grammatic structure for code. Can you recommend anything to read?Aug 05 18:41
schestowitzebnf and bnf grammars are common in language design for highly technical reasons-- highly technical to the point where i have little interest. im not a career computer scientist, which would make it mandatory reading for me. rather, im interested in distilling computer science to be taught at grade school levels.Aug 05 18:41
schestowitzconsider the following: there is a grade school level of math, english, biology, physics-- none of these things start all of a sudden in high school. whats the grade school level of computer science? i mean this is considered by everyone to be elective. and with “good” reason: the teachers dont understand it, so how do you expect it to be taught? all the other disciplines were taught to the teachers in school or are accessible by them Aug 05 18:41
schestowitzin textbook form. we have to teach teachers computers if we want students to learn them. instead, we teach application usage. teaching computer science via application usage is like teaching culinary arts by sending someone to dine in a restaurant. “oh look, you can order an appetiser. write that down.”Aug 05 18:41
schestowitzhowever, for someone from your discipline, i would say that there are languages with very simple grammar, because that is a feature. so one i authored is named fig, and its grammar is like this…Aug 05 18:41
schestowitzthere are three grammatical structures in fig:Aug 05 18:42
schestowitz“own line” single line, “own line” multiple line and “shared line”.Aug 05 18:42
schestowitzin terms of frequency, the most common structure by far is:Aug 05 18:42
schestowitzshared line, followed by a handful ofAug 05 18:42
schestowitzown line / multiple line, with a small number ofAug 05 18:42
schestowitzown line / single lineAug 05 18:42
schestowitzall shared line commands “share a line” with a variable and (optionally) other shared line commands.Aug 05 18:42
schestowitzvariablename command command-parametersAug 05 18:42
schestowitzthis is parsed left to right, though if you localised to a language that went right to left then it would still “begin” with a variable, on the right side instead of the left.Aug 05 18:42
schestowitzunlike typical math there are no parenthetical operations or exceptions for operational order. this is by design.Aug 05 18:42
schestowitznot every command has parameters. “cls” for example, clears the screen. so if we use “p” as a variable, this is valid syntax:Aug 05 18:42
schestowitzp clsAug 05 18:42
schestowitza hash symbol allows for right-hand comments ignored by the translator:Aug 05 18:42
schestowitzp cls # this clears the screenAug 05 18:42
schestowitztheres really no point in doing so, but you could clear the screen three times like this:Aug 05 18:42
schestowitzp cls cls clsAug 05 18:42
schestowitzso thats the most common grammatical structure in this particular language (different languages have different structures.)Aug 05 18:42
schestowitzown line commands dont start with a variable. most do, these are limited exceptions. most own line commands come in pairs.Aug 05 18:42
schestowitzwhileAug 05 18:42
schestowitzp clsAug 05 18:42
schestowitzwendAug 05 18:42
schestowitzalthough it is pointless to clear the screen repeatedly, this will continue to do so as long as the program is allowed to run.Aug 05 18:42
schestowitzwhile marks the beginning of a loop, and wend marks the bottom of the loop. you can put as many commands as you want between while and wend-- that code will run repeatedly until a break command runs:Aug 05 18:42
schestowitzwhileAug 05 18:42
schestowitzp clsAug 05 18:42
schestowitzt timeAug 05 18:42
schestowitzifequal t "13:30:00"Aug 05 18:42
schestowitz    breakAug 05 18:42
schestowitz    nextAug 05 18:42
schestowitzwendAug 05 18:42
schestowitzindentation is optional (a cosmetic convention) and helps organise or delineate related structures.Aug 05 18:42
schestowitzthis program continues to clear the screen until the computers clock reaches 1:30 pm. the break command tells the computer to “exit” (stop) the loop, to stop the code between “while” and “wend” from running another time.Aug 05 18:42
schestowitzwe can add one other command to this:Aug 05 18:42
schestowitztextmodeAug 05 18:42
schestowitzwhileAug 05 18:42
schestowitzp clsAug 05 18:42
schestowitzt timeAug 05 18:42
schestowitzifequal t "13:30:00"Aug 05 18:42
schestowitz    breakAug 05 18:42
schestowitz    nextAug 05 18:42
schestowitzwendAug 05 18:43
schestowitztextmode is an own line command, which unlike while/wend is not a pair. so:Aug 05 18:43
schestowitzshared line commands begin with a variable, and are followed by commands with or without parametersAug 05 18:43
schestowitzown line commands mostly come in pairs or triplets (usually pairs)Aug 05 18:43
schestowitzvery few own line commands are not paired, but standalone. “textmode” tells the program to avoid rendering graphics as actual graphics.Aug 05 18:43
schestowitzfor example this program would open a graphics window and draw a red dot at x 57 y 22 or (57, 22)Aug 05 18:43
schestowitzt pset 57 22 4 Aug 05 18:43
schestowitzthe 4 represents red, there are 16 colours available and a number for eachAug 05 18:43
schestowitzif you add “textmode” then this will be rendered using unicode in a text window, instead of real graphics:Aug 05 18:43
schestowitztextmodeAug 05 18:43
schestowitzt pset 57 22 4 Aug 05 18:43
schestowitzone of the main features of this language is to have as few rules of grammar as possible, for the sake of consistency and easy teaching/learning.Aug 05 18:43
schestowitzit would be possible, but more tedious, to have a language with only one grammatical rule.Aug 05 18:43
schestowitzsuch languages are not typically friendlier than ones with as few rules as practical.Aug 05 18:43
schestowitzthe “few rules” versions are a balance between consistency and practicality. the single-grammatical rule languages are typically more difficult for people on average, because they offload the complexity of the grammar into the complexity of what you have to do to remain so consistent.Aug 05 18:43
schestowitzcompare that to trying to write a poem using iambic pentameter (a form of consistency) versus trying to write one that simply includes words that rhyme.Aug 05 18:43
