Dr. Fred Brooks was of the founding generation of software engineers. Reading his Mythical Man-Month is essential for anyone who wants to understand how software is fundamentally different from all other disciplines.

@garylang @philosophygeek Parts of the Red and Blue lines are definitely underground.

Why is it so hard to get internet on public transit? NYC subway still doesn't have cell service in tunnels, Acela's WiFi is horrendous, and Caltrain (SF <-> Silicon Valley) doesn't have WiFi at all.

I met Greg Bear at the Petaflops conference in Bodega Bay in August of 1995. He was a good man, and one of the best science fiction authors ever. I was always looking forward to reading his next book.

How many lines of code has Elmo written?

Our 172 thousand core EC2 Intel Xeon Platinum cluster appears at #57 on the latest #TOP500 supercomputers list, down only 17 places from its June 2021 debut at #40. I’ve been told that they refer to me within AWS as “the Beyoncé of supercomputing.” top500.org/lists/top500/l…

In this presentation from 2014 I predicted a machine would run Linpack at an exaflop in 2022. The prediction was proven correct this week. #Frontier #Top500 #exascale #supercomputing #HPC youtube.com/watch?v=Vh_TSN…

@powersoffour Say you are sorry for the inconvenience, and then everything is absolved, apparently.

due to circumstances beyond my control (impulsivity and inattention to detail) i may have incorrectly completed an RMA for defective headphones

32 years ago today I arrived in Los Alamos with all my worldly possessions. I expected to leave at the end of a summer graduate research fellowship, but I’ve been here ever since.

@dabeaz Maybe compilers were a mistake?

@mouthofmorrison Nothing compares to pre-2006 1:24000 USGS topo maps.
