Translation: The Software Arts (chapter 2)

from Geek Speak with Lyle Troxell Hosted by Lyle Troxell

What does it mean to implement “hailing a cab” in software and how does this new translation stack up to the existing institution? Discussions based around “The Software Arts: Chapter 2”, "Translation"with the author Warren Sack. We talk about the differences of the humanities understanding of translation where meaning is lost, created, or changed, and compare it with the software concepts of perfect translation like compiling code. Make sure to check out Part 1. Francis Bacon - Wikipedia History of calculus - Wikiquote Ludwig Wittgenstein - Wikipedia Software is not problem solving... What I am saying is that software is an art and a form of design. Where you don’t necessarily know what the problem is. Narrative Intelligence In the after-show Warren mentions a chapter he pulled from the book about narrative.. here is a paper and talk on the subject: Narrative Intelligence JS.everywhere(2013): Warren Sack – JS in Research – YouTube
