This schematisation by @dann is an interesting way to classify data structures — by analysing if they are abstract specifications/concrete implementations: youtu.be/2XH_q494U3U?t=94s

While I was in grad school at CMU, I had the honor and privilege of learning from prof. John Reynolds.
He was brilliant, but also incredibly humble. After knowing him, I stopped giving a pass to the "asshole genuis" types.
Here are some stories. 1/

People tweet all sorts of things about real numbers, especially when it comes to computation. I've studied the topic for years, and I often disagree with such statements. Let me address just one such statement: "A computer cannot represent all reals, only the computable ones."

Thanks to @dann for the informative and entertaining "500 Lines or Less | Dagoba: an in-memory graph database"
As an exercise, I implemented it in Perl: github.com/DabeDotCom/Dagoba…

Dann Toliver asks questions about what is and isn't software. Let's think through them together in "Software, but not as we know it":

I once did a pair programming session with Joe. The lesson he gave me that day: Don't be afraid to look stupid. Many years after I still feel his influence in my professional life.
What a humble and wise man he was!
