- Vervious 5y agoTbh I always direct people who want to read old important papers to lecture notes or textbooks, at least in distributed algorithms or CS theory.

I have not finished it yet, just went through a few chapter, but I can definitely recommend it!
- nevster 5y agoTo give you an indication of how technical the papers are, you can read some of my reviews: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/5348644-neville-ridley-smith?shelf=technical https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/5348644-neville-ridley...
- nevster 5y agoIt's taking a while because I go off on tangents - spent ages looking at the Mother of all Demos and its offshoots. Lately I watched everything I could find by Bret Victor...
