I think that I shall never see
A graph more lovely than a tree.
A tree whose crucial property
Is loop-free connectivity.
A tree that must be sure to span
So packets can reach every LAN. First, the root must be selected.
By ID, it is elected.
Least cost paths from root are traced. In the tree, these paths are placed.
A mesh is made by folks like me, Then bridges find a spanning tree.

Radia Perlman may be the smartest person I have ever met. I heard her tell the story of inventing the Spanning Tree algorithm in a dream, and the writing it down as a poem.

• In this 2009 portrait of Radia Perlman, she wears a blue linen top with silver filigree buttons and faces the camera with a friendly smile. Her graying brown hair is pulled back behind her ears and between her open hands she holds an open copy of her book "Interconnections: Bridges, Routers, Switches, and Internetworking Protocols"

Honestly can't wait for the first Prusa XL reviews. So curious!

Please, do share if you see anything!

Actually just looked it up and I was wrong: it was a salmon avocado roll… and neither tenkasu nor onions are on the official ingredients list. Hah.

Maybe I’ve only had the Toronto bastardisation of this thing.

Mixed feelings/not sure who/what is right…

When the Japanese bastardisation of an American bastardisation of a Japanese food is not what you expect (California roll where instead of tenkasu (tempura flakes) they used shaved raw onion)……

• “Libraries are more than the customer service departments for corporate database products. For democracy to thrive at global scale, libraries must be able to sustain their historic role in society—owning, preserving, and lending books. This ruling is a blow for libraries, readers, and authors and we plan to appeal it.”

You know you need to unfollow some folks when looking through your timeline in the morning you can't find where you left off. But it's a pain because I like everything you people post here.

• [a woman pushes a button on a console in a futuristic city] By the year 2000 we will be completely dependent upon advanced, intelligent computers to take care of everything from piloting our hovercars to taking care of our finances and health. to make sure that the computers always work correctly and simply can't cause harm, scientists are working on techniques such as "static analysis" to completely eliminate the risk of human error or foul play. In the near future, the job of programming the machines will simply be given to other sophisticated computer programs. The operator will quickly prepare a set of punch cards outlining the requirements for the requested functionality, and the advanced mainframe will do the rest. The correctness of both the specification and the generated program will be determined using an elegant mathematical proof. (remote)
