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.

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.

Said goodbye to my dad today. I love him and I'm going to miss him so much. A lot of who I am I got from him, and I know he was always proud of me and I was proud to be his daughter. Read one of his books in his honor, if you're so inclined. https://t.co/eUFvX45HCU

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.” https://t.co/yswp5o5Jee

@powersoffour @acousticbandits I’ve been stuck in PowerPoint and Google slide land for so long I am truly grateful and surprised by seeing the aesthetic of simple fonts and beautiful animations. How do you do it?

Watching the #DARTMission, I harken back to 2005 when @samskillman modeled Deep Impact smashing into comet Tempel 1 using our Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics code.

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 https://t.co/H4KTYkTLlM

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

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?

[Mike Warren @m_warren]

@dabeaz I think the issues are around the API.
