Frances Elizabeth Allen: The Woman Who Made Code Run Fast – and Was Forgotten
#HackerNews #FrancesAllen #Legacy #WomenInTech #CodeOptimization #ComputerScience #HistoryOfComputing
I'm thinking I'll get myself a copy of Samuel Butler's Erewhon. It's on Project Gutenberg but lately I've been acquiring paper books and this seems like a good one to have in hard copy. I feel vaguely embarrassed that I've never read it, given how closely it relates to what I've researched in computer science (evolutionary algorithms and artificial life) and what I spend my time thinking about these days (clarifying why I believe machines cannot be alive or intelligent in the way we usually mean these words).
Apparently Giles Deleuze and Felix Guatarri were influenced by this book and Butler's other writings on machine life. The Butlerian Jihad of Dune is possibly named after him (so far haven't found a definitive statement of this, though a very similar event happens in Erewhon). Even Alan Turing references it. Butler, in turn, was heavily influenced by Darwin's On the Origin of Species. So there is a fascinating confluence around this book.
Without spoiling it, does anyone have thoughts about Erewhon?

Finally, the ridiculously talented @gloriouscow has decided making one of the, if not *the*, most accurate IBM PC emulators around isn't enough - and is now working on CC0-licensed reference book going into component-by-component detail of exactly how the IBM PC and later PC XT work.

I was $TODAY years old when I realized that quadtrees and octrees are just the 2D/3D generalization of binary search 🤦
I've been doing CS stuff for ~30 years and have been a CS prof for 10+ years. I am very smart. 🥴
