DiffWTF is an open source development workfow designed to accelerate negotiations of learning and optimizing collaborative DIFFERENCES ... diffWTF is sustainable only because of the extra value that emerges through what is admittedly a DIFFicult cognitive process.
The point of THINKING different, WORKING together and optimizing the FLOW of a collaborative development workflow is to accelerate the negotiation of promoting learning, appreciating, understanding the differences.
Of course, we should NEVER judge; of course, we should NEVER hate. Of course, we should seek to ... Learn. Appreciate. UNDERSTAND.
The collaborative #workTHINKflow process is demanding and DIFFicult. Respecting DIFFerences is not about avoiding differences; it is about THINKING and what is different and WHY. Achieving FLOW is fundamentally disruptive ... first we must Learn. Appreciate. UNDERSTAND. ... but ultimately, the WORK of THINKING must FLOW.
It's risk-free now ... it's just a matter of changing the habits of being yourself. Try something like visiting different trending repositories in the GitHub community ... or better yet, fork [and update] the github/explore repository with an aim toward really STUDYING ten great repositories per day and maybe creating your own curated collections.
DIFFversity is a fundamentally different learning paradigm, a DIFFERENT approach to thinking and learning ... we want to develop the tools to allow people to exlore distinctions ... HYBRID cognitive intelligence has a theoretical, abstract, conceptual, mathematic difference -- for example, what can we learn from things like differential geometry how that might help make cognitive intelligence different?
LEARNING the difference is about BEING the difference by adopting a different approach to learning ... ... people want BE the difference or to make a difference ... but we always find that the value of information is in how it surprises, a WTF moment means that we have to adjust -- this is entirely about drawing focus to the small difference, the character of the difference ... it is like the unforgetable lyric ... we are learning how to speak in the pompatus of DIFF.
This curated listing of annoated AWESOME reading list is an attempt to discuss or give some context to different work papers on the topic of DIFFs in various papers or the set of topics surrounding differential geometry ... this material might be highly technical or essentially quite mathematical in nature ... but at its core, it's just a group of really competent people doing some especially important and foundational work in advancing the state of human knowledge. After all,it's the DIFFERENCES that matter!
The material on theoretial DIFFERENCE matters of course, but the world of AWESOME computational DIFFs are highly used and intensely practical ... and, as awesome as the current set of tools are, it's rather obvious we have hardly begun to crack the surface in implementing DIFF algorithms -- DIFF is hardly something anyone can describe as "merely esoteric" or the kind of math that is beautiful, but someone might not ever use practically for 100 years or more ... we often just minimize the diff as in least-squared regression curve fitting or tensor analysis.
The COMMIT blog is about understanding the essential DIFFERENCES in open source development communities ... we all know that competetent programmer heroes and the founders of open source communities might be important, but we might not all know why those heros MUST from the very start work at attracting and growing the population of commitizens, the people who review their code and turn the development from being a one-person project into being something bigger.
Issues arise from differences or aberration from desired performance; these issues result in commits which drives the workflow of communities and swarms of commitizens... THIS is difference between open source collaborative development and the develop of a private, often proprietary software development system -- the open issue-driven workflow that includes swarms of commitizens is an entirely different, more sophisticated, more advanced organism. Proprietary software never really had a change against the commitizens of the open source realm.
The DIFFgraph tool or actually a format, which might better be described as something akin to a conventional commits format is for social knowledge engineering.
The vision for DIFFgraph STARTS with something like an annotated, discussed graphical hybridization of different ideas, in the manner of what what ConnectedPapers is about but it is intended to be a more democratized extension beyond pre-print scientific paper archives to things like Git repositories and beyond... the DIFFgraph conversation threads themselves are data, which can be stored in Git repos, or threadrolled copies of jams on differences/similarities/hybridizations.
