Hi Kushal and all,
I try to resend from Icedove now, maybe there's something not correctly
configured with my mutt yet.

A fantastic talk, thanks for sharing!
Concerning what we've learned so far, I feel like a Dinosaur. The job I
have right now, I do have it in order to think differently. I do,
however, but I realize how much I'm constraining myself with the
structure that's given to me. Even though many things Bret Victor talks
about are things I've been looking for before.
I watched this video and immediately went over to the next one about
dynamic drawing, which is awesome as well. This is hacking in its
original intention.
Another thought I had; I switched to a completely libre OS now, but I do
not feel a big difference concerning my freedom. I realize that the
reason for that is, that I'm still not free to change everything to my
desires, just because my lack of knowledge. True, I do have the chance
to modify the source code, re-compile and be more happy than before with
my custom feature, but what if I can't understand the source code in
the first place? Richard Stallman calls minified javascript non-free,
because it's not readible, just like binary code. However, almost every
software code is not readible for someone that can not code (or doesn't
know the language/module/API/etc). So to create free software, that
is free for every user (not developer), it should be visualized in a
more intuitive way, ideally independent of the language it gets
interpreted in.
I'll continue watching the other videos, great stuff, maybe even a
life-changer.
Best regards,
Robin
