Plan9 was a network operating system, and with a focus on concurrency a new language Alef was designed with coroutines based on CSP formalism (Hoare's communicating sequential proc…

Montanari/Mezard perhaps?

A. Hey edited „Feynman Lectures on Computation” for publication and later collected some assorted papers of guest lecturers Feynman would invite in „Feynman and computation – explo…

Also, it is prof. Vakil who hosts the MathOverflow site you surely heard of. Literature recommendations are sometimes also discussed. http://mathoverflow.net/questions/2446/best-al…

Amusing fact is it didn't take long at all, compared to some later approaches ;) http://mathoverflow.net/questions/14356/bourbakis-epsilon-ca... And a twist you might find worthy a…

I downvoted you without second thought, as I believe people change and holding them accountable for everything they've ever done forever is cruel. However, now that I recall this l…

I spent half an hour composing meaningful description of insignificance of the work (without judging if it is indeed a result, attacked "uniqueness" is more of a technicality than …

Cool, this. A very nifty (if somewhat detailed) complexity analysis of the Algorithm X appeared in blogosphere's festschrift for Knuth's 70, http://11011110.livejournal.com/128249.…

$100 in parts, according to this guy: http://vicacopter.com I tried (unsuccessfully) to make his design a year ago and it was more like $300 though, and that assuming you have the …

I remember that too. It was, as you say, a while ago, meaning long time outdated. And I indeed recall it to be pg-posted, but instead all I can find is this non-pg release with all…

Do you have a reference for that review? http://www.cs.nyu.edu/pipermail/fom/1997-November/000128.htm...

at least learn to spell his name! Thank you for this most kind and substantial observation. In my defense, Hoyle used to joke of himself like that since concieving his steady-state…

Since Dyson contributed half of quantum electrodynamics, and we have numerous Dyson theorems; and since Penrose contributed half of present classical gravity, and we have numerous …

not quantum mechanics Except the twistor formalism he created (following ideas of no one else but Dirac) is important branch of research in quantum mathematical physics and string …
