    • Thanks to both of you, @barry.rountree and @jang. The best reply I can make is probably the one I offer here: https://nickm.com/post/2020/02/sea-and-spar-between-1-0-2/
      in Code Critique: Line 255 of Sea and Spar Between Comment by nickm February 2020
    • Great examples and references! One extreme of “misleading” code when it’s intentionally obfuscated, and not written in a truly “malicious” way — obfuscation can of course be done for aesthetic/poetic reasons or just for fun. The work in the IOCCC…
      in Code Critique: What Python does when it's doing nothing. Comment by nickm January 2020
    • I didn't mean to drive the conversation away from your main point, @barry.rountree, which is a good one. I was just answering @jeremydouglass’s last question. Another technical report I wrote, this one for CCSWG specifically, was actually more of…
      in Code Critique: What Python does when it's doing nothing. Comment by nickm January 2020
    • There are some, @jeremydouglass. I have a 12-page technical report about null programs from 2013: “No Code: Null Programs.” It covers a 0-byte demo (in the demoscene sense) and a 0-byte quine that won IOCCC (International Obfuscated C Code Con…

      in Introduce yourself Comment by nickm January 2020
    • I want to echo one of Jeremy's suggestions, which is not looking within a page itself but looking at how many versions of a page, in different languages, exist. This is easy to do on Wikipedia for instance but can also be done on university sites: L…
      in Code Critique: analysing code from a website Comment by nickm February 2018
    • Mark, several other people wrote code as part of their critical inquiry in writing 10 PRINT. I wrote an Apple II port, Mark Sample wrote a TRS-80 Color Computer port, and Ian Bogost wrote the most difficult of the ports, to Atari VCS 6502 assembly. …
      in Week 2: Creative and Critical Coding (Main thread) Comment by nickm January 2018
    • Allison, you're right of course that any interface models and facilitates a particular type of input, and that this can be assistive, or in some cases not. (In this interface I get a squiggly red line indicating that "assistive" isn't a properly spe…
      in Sexist Autocomplete: Interventions? Comment by nickm January 2018
    • I just wanted to suggest that while these exceptions are fascinating and worth concern, we should also looking beyond the particular implementation of autocomplete, even with Google's interesting variations on it. When wondering why these results ap…
