@w3c This is all so that the browsers can soak up every last bit of resource a system can give, instead of sharing nicely with all the other apps a user wants to run. Things are going the wrong way. The W3C isn't doing a good job; the trick is to work out how to use the minimum of resources, NOT the maximum.

The point is that life itself is not computable. This in no way means that he somehow implies that computable models are useless… The simple fact is that computing models (and indeed any models whatsoever) will be, by definition, incomplete, but they may nevertheless be fruitful endeavours. One learns a tremendous amount even from partial descriptions.

Note that Rosen only said that life is not computable, not that artificial life is impossible. However one models life, natural or artificial, one cannot succeed by computation alone. Life is not definable by an algorithm. Artificial life does not have to be limited to what a computing machine can do algorithmically; computing is but one of a multitude of available tools.

Of course, that doesn't really answer the question... The server I happen to be using is part of the Association for Computing Machinery organization, in their own words "The world's largest professional organization advancing #computing as a science and profession"

So the answer is A LOT OF REACH

The "Computing within Limits" (LIMITS'2025) deadline is extended to April 30th, 2025 AOE. Submit those papers and spread the word!

LIMITS'2025 welcomes scholarship from a wide range of perspectives that engages with computing and its pressing ecological and social issues and crises including planetary boundaries. CfP:

If you have any interest in how the Global #Economy works and how the Trump #Tarrifs will impact the #IT industry then check out this documentary by @gamersnexus

While it concentrates on the retail IT space many of the topics and discussions with manufacturers and importers worldwide will also impact on #InfoSec and corporate IT.

This is a long documentary as it's a complex topic with many aspects that I and you probably didn't take into account 🫢

The thing about "features" is that they aren't linear, they form a tree: *every* technical artifact--hell, every *line* of code--both satisfies some demands and (often) creates new ones.

Deciding which branches to follow, which to prune and when to do both is complex and ever-changing as the delivery system cycles demands...

Much of what's wrong with "product thinking" and "agile" today can be explained as a consequence of placing this responsibility in the hands of folks that neither understand this, nor are accountable to those who do.
