quite an interesting list of books for 2025. I’ll have to get some of these to read. Especially the Information theory one above and the one you mentioned in your review.
Same with the Stanford university bookstore. Was one of the better bookstores in the Bayarea. Used to have a whole room of technical, science, math books. It too is a shadow of its former self. So sad.
One course per semester might be doable? Not sure how frequently the assignments are due because you could probably carve out some time over the weekends.
Yeah, thinking about waiting until both the kids themselves are in school and then 1 course a semester for me. Not sure if that will be easier or harder than doing it while they are young
OMSCS grad here. The awesome thing about the program is its flexibility. Some of the courses are definitely more time intensive, but I think if you took only one class and dedicated about an hour a day to the course materials, you'd be in good shape. (I know that's still a lot to ask of someone with two young kids.)
There's no way to get through the harder courses in the program on 1 hour a day. And you're not getting value from the degree if you aren't pushing yourself to take those hard courses, unless you just need the diploma.
i bought a compilers book that was an Indian edition. The paper and print quality was so bad (like smudgy) that I could not read it and I didn’t think I was particularly picky about this. Not sure if I just got unlucky or if this is generally true?
Wow, this is so cool that you did this and this showed up right now. There was an online book (soon to be published) by Xavier Leroy on the history of control mechanisms in programming languages with the last few chapters on Effect systems.
BBC's Jeremy Bowen was on the Jordanian aid-dropping plane yesterday or day before.
"He was told by the Jordanians that Israel did not want our crew to film outside the plane's windows while he was onboard".[1]
Obviously why - then he'd be able to film the ... not decimation, but total destruction of some of the cities in Gaza that would provide evidence for the genocide.
Israel lobbied for restrictions on the resolution of satellite footage of the occupied Palestinian territories, so it tends to be a lot more blurred than images of anywhere else.
I think if you were to write a post (or better yet a video) to demonstrate your usage of your workflow, that would be a great resource! I love working in M-x shell but your workflow sounds next level.
