In a programmable space, the concept of a computer is expanded outside a little rectangular screen. Interacting with a programmable space means using physical objects, not virtual ones on a screen. Bringing computing to the scale of a room makes it a communal and social experience.

👋 That’s my project and I am occasionally on this Slack. Two years ago it started out as a Dynamicland clone but since then I have been playing and making demos in more ways that programming and the things people make can be made more physical.

Amazing project! I'd love to try it out sometime. Thanks for the details on setting up your own space

🐦 Omar Rizwan: I used to be so into galleries like this when I was a kid https://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2009/03/operating-system-interface-design-between-1981-2009/ (random example I just came across while looking up something else)

now I look at it and I'm like... it's amazing how these GUIs are all exactly the same

Mmm, Amiga Workbench blue, white, black, and orange.

Joshua Horowitz Yeah, it's all a single thread of the work where everything is using the same ideas. This is, of course, why I made this other thread full of things that are that well trodden path: https://twitter.com/jackrusher/status/1300737671497691136

🐦 ⸘Jack Rusher‽: I've been thinking about roads not taken lately, wondering whether we should revisit some of them... https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Eg0l3uGXsAAD_Aa.png

So nice to see Dave Ackley playing on this self image symbol thing. What do you think?

Hey Chris Martens how are you doing? How are your explorations of tools for conviviality going? Seeing Dave playing around with his Image I'm getting a little sense of what that could mean.

Empathetic APIs 🤔☺😊😍

I don't expect this to actually happen with the players involved, but it's actually an interesting proposal. A standard node definition also has a lot of interesting ramifications for folks outside of 3D DCC apps that are interested in audio or visual scripting more broadly

🐦 Delaney King 👉🏻👩🏻‍💻: So, I would love to gather together a group of developers from @unity3d, @Blender, @Unreal, @Substance3D and their plug devs and talk about developing a unified node graph behaviour standard to better serve the world game development community.

Jean-Louis Villecroze 2021-04-30 15:09:33

That's a great idea!

Denny Vrandečić 2021-04-30 16:31:23

They should do it via IETF or W3C, just to make it even more "fun"

Nick Smith 2021-04-30 23:50:20

I feel like the correct formalism for this would be "wiring diagrams". The only problem: it's a formalism from category theory, and most software devs aren't interested in studying mathematics.
