I read it recently. I liked a few of the chapters especially how policy classes fix some issues with OO design. I do recommend asking an AI chatbot to summarize each chapter and say what the modern equivalent is since some of the idioms h

My TI-85 story involves the fact that it only had 2D plotting (though I think newer models such as the TI-89 had 3D). I had a 3D calculus class so I wrote a program in it to plot a 3D isometric mesh of a surface using the 2D rendering libra

As I recall, Apollo 11 was off by 4 miles downrange, which was considered good but not precise. More work on the guidance / navigation system allowed for a precision landing in Apollo 12 (to touch down near a Surveyor probe).

I tried running Deepseek 33b using llama.cpp with 16k context and it kept injecting unrelated text. What is your setup so it works for you? Do you have some special CLI flags or prompt format?

Article says the plane it came from flew 16,239 hours so I'm guessing the photo was from initial certification if it was actually used. Now that the plane is in Seattle and the engine is in the UK, does that mean it was shipped back af
