For anyone reading stuff like this, read Ellul’s Technological Society instead. Optionally followed by “The Meaning of the City.” I haven’t read the manifesto and don’t plan to; it apparently cited Ellul a fair amount…
That interconnect was 3 or 4 orders of magnitude faster than Ethernet at the time for things like barrier synchronization and the hardware was fairly simple. [1] http://aggregate.org/AFN/ has more, including hardware…
Are you thinking of HP’s Dynamo? http://cseweb.ucsd.edu/classes/sp00/cse231/dynamopldi.pdf
That makes sense, a couple of years ago there was a lot of misleading interpretations going around, precise definitions help clear things up. I read Peak a while back, and I must’ve forgot that distinction. I found the…
I think there is room for nuance here. True deliberate practice is easiest to apply in those domains, but there are some lessons from Ericsson's work that can be applied using the NDM framework. I think the point that…
I’m not quite sure these would be what you’re looking for, but I enjoyed the following: Seeing Like a Rover - Janet Vertesi Human-Machine Reconfigurations - Lucy Suchman Where the Action Is - Paul Dourish Seeing Like a…
There are a couple shorter videos with Hackaday, Mill CPU for Humans.
Do you have a recommended starting point?
I think the optimal base is actually the natural log e, or about 2.71. I saw a derivation of this before but can't find the reference. Ternary actually comes about a bit better from an information density standpoint,…
I'm sure this isn't what Graeham had in mind with this post, but I'll comment anyway: Steven Spear identifies rapid experimentation as one of Toyota's strengths, not necessarily in product development, but developing…
Something bothers me about Bret's writings: He is very big picture (which isn't bad by any means), but then he often talks in absolutes without substantiating many of his claims. I suppose speaking in absolutes may be…
I've been investigating this question recently as well. I am not a great programmer, so take this with a grain of salt. Also, I might ramble a bit, but I'm still trying to figure this out myself. I think the biggest…
Regarding his books, he explicitly states the valedictorian approach is probably wrong for most students in one of his books (The High School Superstar one). He recommends almost the opposite approach, which seems to be…
Little's Law is probably CS folks should know too. It is relatively simple, but useful https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little%27s_law
I think these are reasonably good, but I can't say I've read every paper on either list. They are reading lists for qualifying exams rather than a course, but I think they'll still be useful. Wisconsin Arch:…
One of the problems with new stories (for me at least) is when they are submitted. I often see something interesting in the rss feed that was submitted several hours before I got to it. Upvoting on a story that old is…
