A look at the inner beauty of basic electronic components. From the book, "Open Circuits" by @oskay and Eric Schlaepfer. "As the authors write, everything about these components is deliberately designed to meet specific technical needs, but that design leads to “accidental beauty: the emergent aesthetics of things you were never expected to see.” "

@sohkamyung @oskay This is an amazing book. I frequently pull it out when discussing electronic components in class.

RIP, Fred Brooks, author of "The Mythical Man-month", managing developer of IBM's System/360 and much more. "Steven M. Bellovin @SteveBellovin Sad news from @unccs — Fred P. Brooks, the founder and long-time chair of the department (and a major influence on my professional outlook) passed away a few hours ago." https://twitter.com/stevebellovin/status/1593414068634734592

Of course, Improbable Research would feature this. 🙂 "Yuri Nakahashi, a student at Hosei University, Japan, wrote a thesis about sleeping with a cat night after night in locations chosen by the cat." https://improbable.com/2022/03/19/sleeping-next-to-the-cat-wherever-the-cat-chooses-to-sleep/

Looks useful, especially for reading technical PDF documents (where you need to do a long of referencing and jumping around). On HN, the developer promises MacOS and Linux versions soon. "Sioyek is a PDF viewer designed for reading research papers and technical books " Via Hacker News [ https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27893303 ]. For Windows at the moment.

Remotely connecting to computers was done before ARPANET. What ARPANET did was to standardize the way to communicate with computers over a network. https://twobithistory.org/2021/02/07/arpanet.html #Computers #Networking #ComputerHistory #NetworkingHistory #Arpanet #Internet |
