Turing Award Winner On Thinking Clearly, Paxos vs Raft, Working With Dijkstra | Leslie Lamport

I included the maze, and the electromechanical mouse Theseus (named after the Ancient Greek hero who found his way out of the labyrinth)! With his wife Betty, he built this learning machine in 1950. Theseus was built to search through the adjustable maze for a target, then successfully re-find the target is placed at any position in the maze. This whimsically named mouse was the first artificial learning device.

Playing with copper bulb memory in #MineCraft. 🤔 It might be easy to make 1D cellular automatons with these, but rather than row = 1 generation, it could be most easily evaluated as a spiral, like knitting or crochet, or a Linear shift feedback register. (LSFR)
I remember some suggestion that LSFRs could be considered Turing complete, if rule 110 was. I didn't think so, and maybe rule 110 isn't. (I'm certainly not an expert) but spiral VS row intrigues me. Maybe they 1DCA "complete"?🤔 #compsci

Modern homework ideas (from another thread I posted):
- Instead of discussion boards or quizzes, require students to post comments to the YouTube video upload of the lecture video.
- Have students create "fan cam edits" relating to their favorite Object Oriented Programming topic.
- Use a meme generator to create a meme about one programming topic.
- Do a shot/reverse-shot discussion acting out a programming pitfall or result of bad design practices.
