“Universities were founded in Western Europe in 1050 and lecturing has been the predominant form of teaching ever since,” But the way professors are compensated has changed dramatically. In the early times the students payed the professor

If you are going to educate yourself broadly over the subject of software engineering it might be helpful to take a look at what a committee of professionals think the software engineering body of knowledge comprises: http://www.

Of course you probably wouldn't get toroids when chipping from ferrite. On the other hand you wouldn't get semiconductors when chipping from silicon either.

You could say it's 4096 1-bit chips wired together.

Bacteria does not form spontaneously from nothing. You have to get them from your evironment. In fact there is a constant inflow.

And self driving busses could run there too. Maybe rebuild the old fashioned legacy railways as modern truck-bus-ways.

I tried it once. Worked perfectly. Really wanted to pay for it, but failed to do that.

How could there not be almost nobody but "four-year-olds" in an immature and fast pacing technology sector?

Doesn't that imply that there is a shortage of programmers worth their salary?

No heating? There are human bodies in there. A passive house is a building whose energy consumption per square meter is very low. Heating requirements of < 15 kWh/m²/year. That's about two human bodies. 15 kWh/m

Flex was great. I disassembled it all to learn its internals. Then implemented print spooling, RAM-disk, and dual tasking by RAM bank switching, for a 6809 based computer I was co-developing. But then the IBM PC took over the world :/

by jonsen 13y ago
You are right. The 6809 was relatively straight forward to program. It had a highly orthogonal architecture which made it a very effective and pleasing framework to think in.

Calling whale meat beef is roughly equivalent to calling cow meat "pork" Yes. But I didn't. I called whale meat whale beef. That would be more like calling cow meat cow pork.

It is interesting how they manage to hold their breath for so long Large blood capacity for storing oxygen, I think. Whale beef is very red. and yet manage to survive the bends (decompression sickness) Well they don't breathe dow

I don't really know what to recommend. Maybe An Introduction to General Systems Thinking by Gerald M. Weinberg is a good starting point for a CS-person. "Education is what remains when what has been learned has been forgotten&qu

Systemics is an undervalued competence area. It should be taught in school. ( Before coding.)
