@dan @dev Have fun and enjoy the visit. Kyoto is a beautiful city.

We are living in the future we deserve, maybe. I dunno.

@lindsey Also found his work on the topic of consistency to be quite interesting.
@lindsey Quite handy reference.
@lindsey It is an excellent text. I don't think I've seen a better glossary in any other CC or DB system book.
@palvaro also the way six layers of different shades, colors and texture/substance all come together stacked in a parallel fashion make it a really great photo.
@palvaro I'm guessing from the look of it as well as the relatively narrow beach area it is in the northern coastline ... maybe that of Sonoma County?
@palvaro Hi Peter, this is such a great shot that I might use it as screen background for one of my systems.
@adrian That look quite tasty.
@ljrk I recall from a talk by Carver Mead that Lynn was the driving force behind their collaborations particularly on the VLSI Systems text. Lynn's LSI Systems team at Xerox PARC kick started the project in 1977 to produce the first draft of it in 1978. What a pioneering and phenomenal work that was and still is.
