One of the most influential programming textbooks was first published as a paperback 40 years ago today: MIT's "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs."

Today, let’s remember Richard Hamming, who was born #OTD 1915. Hamming received the 1968 #ACMTuringAward for his work on numerical methods, automatic coding systems, and error-detecting and error-correcting codes. More on Hamming, here: https://t.co/Gy6UkcMHE5

I just got recommended this book called '' A programming language'' by Kenneth Iverson, a book that ties applied mathematics (in many ways algebra) and programming language together, and it seems like a fascinating read to me.

It is available as a pdf, link in the comments.

Surprising fact: no major professional scientific organization has flipped from a paywalled publishing model to 100% Open Access.

@TheOfficialACM is going to be the first on January 1, 2026, when its entire digital library will become freely available to the public.

@jaredlander @DrQz In fact the script I use to fix these things does the reverse. Still can’t convince the dev lead to accept the change.

[Paul Puglia @pjpuglia]

@jaredlander @DrQz Easily handled by allowing you to specify the TZ you want to operate in and then converting everything to UTC. All’s that’s need is the willingness of the folks who run the thing that ingests the schedule to accept the change that makes that happen. 1/

@DrQz This cuts too close to home for me.

And just like that Prompt Engineering replaced Data Science as the sexiest new profession of the 21st century.

I want you to read every word of this article. It puts the stakes of 2024 into stark relief.
