If you have a second, I'm much more interested in the particular research method you adopted to allow you to stumble across those papers.

- sph 3y agoSpending 12 hours a day in front of a PC, being on a sabbatical for a year, being obsessed with this problem for the entire duration. Then it's just a matter of Googling stuff, printing papers and reading them. I'm a high school dropout so probably there is a much more efficient way of doing academic research than mine. The path was mostly Lisp -> Forth -> Smalltalk -> Self -> COLA. Hacker News search is particularly good if you have the right keywords and you stumble upon the comments of the Elders that roam about and share their long lost knowledge (user DonHopkins for example having an encyclopaedic knowledge on this stuff)
