It is a good thing that links to useful resources like these are reposted every now and then. For many, like myself, this could be the first time seeing it. Perhaps a date tag woul…

Nice! This comment has the potential to become the next "If my grandmother had wheels, she would have been a bike."

I do both. In my case textbooks are to fill theoretical needs/gaps. I go through full books in some cases and in others it is not feasible based on various factors (difficulty of s…

Most underrated comment! Also, this would be contrary to GP's comment - it would be the right reason. Imagine if a bald person is walking by and a toupee happens to fall on their h…

Undercook, overcook.

Just picked up Wigderson's book and I am liking it so far : https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691189130/ma...

Looks like this article is from 2000. Perhaps the post title needs to be updated?

Thank you. I must have scrolled past it the first time around.

Loved it! I couldn't find any info on the case and keyboard though. Did he just reuse an old one? They did look to be in mint condition. No mention of those in the video either (or…

Loved the restorations. Next time I am in your city I would like to come say hello. I have a cherished textbook from my undergraduate days that is coming apart. Perhaps I could bri…

You better not bring my model into this Ezekiel!

Perhaps, however I find decent value in some of these kinds of submissions - it is in the comments. The book recommendations and benefits of queueing theory mentioned here have alr…

That is just plain awesome. I have to tell my neighbor who has been having issues with gripping etc.. I can't believe I hadn't noticed the screw threads on the top side of the lid …

I second this, especially now that Matrix Resurrections is out. :-)

Thank you. On the same subject can someone recommend a book or any other resource to learn about virtual machine internals? My goal is to try to build a toy clone of VirtualBox/VMW…

When I was learning to play the saxophone my instructor had an old copy of the Real Book. The transcriptions of songs by some of the jazz legends would blow my mind. I thought the …

Thanks for the Sipser recommendation. Picked it up yesterday and already liking it.

Can someone recommend me a good online course in automata theory (or even a book). I tried Ullman's course on edX (or Coursera, don't remember). But I found it a bit difficult to f…

I feel similarly. I bought a hand-wound mechanical watch. And my electric blender - does only one thing i.e. blend. Then there is the stone knife sharpener. I am making a list of t…

I have been watching some BTC related companies recently and one caught my attention - Canaan. A few days ago they announced purchase orders of 100,000 mining machines for 2021. Su…

Yes, please and thank you (email in profile)! I have fond memories of using my ZX Spectrum 48K. I still have it in working condition, just need to find a PAL to NTSC converter.

Just replied to another comment. Hope that helps.
