Borges on Jupyter
Of all man’s instruments, the most wondrous, no doubt, is the book. The other instruments are extensions of his body. The microscope, the telescope, are extensions of his sight; the telephone is the extension of his voice; then we have the plow and the sword, extensions of the arm. But the book is something else altogether: the book is an extension of memory and imagination. Jorge Luis Borges
The above quote seems to go well in hand with James Somers' article "The Scientific Paper is Obsolete":
To write a paper in a Mathematica notebook is to reveal your results and methods at the same time; the published paper and the work that begot it. Which shouldn’t just make it easier for readers to understand what you did—it should make it easier for them to replicate it (or not).
The Jupyter notebook, the Wolfram Mathematica notebook — these are not extensions of memory and imagination, but rather extensions of thought.
