A re-read, slowly. Chapter 6 (CPUs) every time I forget what perf actually measures, which is more often than I would like to admit. Gregg’s flame graphs have ruined me for any other profiling visualisation.
| pending | The Phoenix Project — Kim, Behr & Spafford. Borrowed from a colleague; due any week now. |
| pending | Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software — Charles Petzold. Second edition is on order. |
| pending | L’Ordinateur : étude de mœurs — fictitious title placeholder while awaiting a copy of the Stiegler posthumous. |
| pending | Database Internals — Alex Petrov. On the desk, untouched, judging me. |
Ratings follow the unambitious American Library Association convention: five stars if I will re-read, four if I recommend, three if I finished it, two if I did not, one if it wronged me personally. Reviews are available on request — i.e. if you send an email, you’ll get opinions.
