Self: The Power of Simplicity
- bonsaitree 17y agoPlease edit your entry to include an additional "[pdf]" type designator since the link is directly to a PDF document and not to a web page nor a Scribd embed.
- potatolicious 17y agoI would like to add: Thank you for posting the PDF instead of some lame Scribd version. I still don't really get any reason for Scribd to even exist. Yeah I realize they're YC, and I realize the Scribd guys probably lurk (or post) here, but can someone please explain the raison d'etre for the whole thing?
- wmf 17y agoI wouldn't be surprised if some Windows users prefer Scribd over the bloated Acrobat Reader. Scribd is pretty useless on the Mac, though. Honestly the Scribd whining on HN is really old. Auto-Scribd-ization has been in HN for a long time, people have been complaining about it the whole time, and pg probably isn't going to change it.
- defunkt 17y agoSelf is fun but the X-Windows powered GUI is dated and hard to use. I'd love a modern version.
- russellallen 17y agoWe're working on it. Want to help? (Oh, and on MacOS X the GUI is Quartz not X btw)
- defunkt 17y agoHoly awesome, I'd never seen the Quartz version. It works great! I love that my mouse works the way I expect it to :) I may just start playing with it again. Thanks for responding.
- russellallen 17y agoThe best link for this paper is the version in the list of published papers (http://selflanguage.org/documentation/published/index.html http://selflanguage.org/documentation/published/index.html) in the documentation section of the Self website (http://selflanguage.org http://selflanguage.org) (where, incidentally, you can download a version of your own for Linux or Mac)
- b-man 17y agoHey, thanks for the pointing out. Very nice bib there. Keep on the good efforts man, I think the immensity of JS will eventually spill out some deserved attention to Self.
