All programmers have a Socratic obsession with truth. The program doesn't run until you get it true.

Does a program that runs incorrectly still represents truth?
- Amit Morson
This sounds like a performative model - what works - nothing to do with truth.
- tom matrullo
Amit, yes it represents a truth, but not the truth you wanted.
- Dave Winer
A program that does a divide-by-zero is not dealing with the truth. A program that accesses an array element that does not exist, is not truthful. A program that JSR's to a random bit of memory has lost its mind. Completely divorced from reality. A program caught in an infinite loop is never going to solve a problem.
- Dave Winer
I think, like everything else, truth is in the eyes of the beholder. Most programmers code to their version of the truth. When that truth isn't accepted universally by other programmers or users they are not happy.
- Kyle Shank
Given a more complex program, it's often not that easy to ascertain whether it's representing the truth anymore. Even if you take the narrow definition with divide-by-zero and other obvious errors. So I guess we settle for getting it sufficiently true - for subjective values of "sufficiently".
- Udo
Truth is "the universal witness" of what is and what works, so of course programming has to do with truth.
- Gus
Our designs begin internally and are produced by our efforts. The manifestation of our abstract imagination realized in a concrete manifestation is truth. Yes Dave, I heartily agree our code is our truth, but only the code inspired by our own interests and passions.

I'm sorry you got pushed on a back foot by it all, Martin. I think it's a damage limitation exercise for them now, as they really don't come across as people who understand "uniconferences" or social networks at all. I used to think they were the more reasonable end of SEO, but now I see their whole business and psychology is centered around the self, and pushing anything out that disagrees.

Mindy's writing style is certainly one that grabs attention (Alex Kapranos himself was moved to reply to a negative review she wrote about a Franz Ferdinand gig). Having read a lot of her stuff before, the fiery language didn't bother or surprise me. The fundamental problem with her argument is that the very nature of an Unconference means it's *not* the thing she's looking for. We...

Twitter Meets Google Street View: Stweet! - http://mashable.com/2009...

"We’ve seen plenty of interesting Google Maps mashups over the years, and Twitter mashups too; but rather than just plotting Tweets on a map, why not go even further and show the street Tweets are posted from?"
- Kol Tregaskes
from Bookmarklet
"That’s what Stweet, a fun mashup of Google Street View and Twitter, attempts to do. In an imperfect way, it takes the co-ordinates posted by some Twitter apps, like TwitterFon (location must be enabled), and uses that data to find the approximate street address the Tweet came from. It then overlays the Tweet on a Google Street View image."

It's somewhat depressing that with all the talk about open standards and formats and APIs and stuff that the compatibility between Twitter and identi.ca has gone largely unheralded. It's a big deal, really. Celebrate it. http://www.scripting.com/stories...

BTW: Is there some way to automatically push friendfeed notes to twitter?
- scott willeke
I hope we'll see more of this kind of API compatibility (or "standard APIs") for a bunch of other useful things in the near future.
- Jerome Paradis
Excellent observations. Will it impact mobile device development? Mobile pricing &/or service offerings?
- Scott Moskowitz
The only way I know of to push friendfeed to twitter is through twitterfeed or like service. But you are asking about the threaded notes. That is an interesting conundrum. Not sure I would want to see comments spammed over to twitter/identi.ca. Wouldn't that make it more of a hodgepodge of a conversational collage.
