alt Hacker NewsThis post appears to be a newsletter with links to some of their recent posts. Admittedly nothing super interesting stood out to me this time. But I am still waiting very impatiently to hear more about PlayBook, which is supposed to be their ultimate interactive paper product with all the learnings from their previous experiments and research.
Same.
I _think_ that they are striving towards the sort of programming/computation environment I've been wanting ever since first reading Hermann Hesse's _The Glass Bead Game_ and encountering the mention of handheld stylus computers in Niven & Pournelle's _The Mote in God's Eye_.
I get a tiny bit of that feel when using pyspread, and a bit more when using OpenSCAD Graph Editor and/or BlockSCAD or NodeBox, and if I could ever find a parametric 3D CAD program which suited me, that would probably be the closest extant application to what I want.
