Loads of fun in this and in that. And does indeed make me sometimes question if I know anything about programming (in a good way:)

What makes it such a shame? It's full color, properly formatted, and nothing is missing. Looks beautiful on my color e-ink device.
There is also the casual nature of reading a physical newspaper. On a screen i feel pressured to consume it all in one sitting, or i'll forget it and read something else next time. But with a printed copy, i can put it on the coffee table to read bit by bit over a few days, or just admire the design while relaxing.
I got a spam email from a google group without having subscribed to this group before from 3 hours ago, long before this news item made it to the HN front page (e.g. it's unlikely that somebody else made a typo that resulted in my email address).
In the unlikely case that there are any humans in the loop: please stop doing this sort of 'marketing'.
If you're sure you never subscribed, consider contacting them to let them know about this.
As such, for now unfortunately you still have to email us with the parameters you need, so we can generate a PDF set for you. But in the future we want to just generate all possible sets and put them out there (all in due time).
I like the concept, cool that everything is just one page

Reminds me of when we used to load programs off of audio cassette tapes back in the day. Also it, somewhat obliquely, reminds me of BLIT by David Langford.

I don’t know if I’ll build something, because there might not be much point, but I sure have a lot of nostalgia for these old systems.
