“What Should a Well-Informed Person Know About Computers?” — by Brian Kernighan

|

Invited presentation at a meeting of the Old Guard of Summit NJ on January 5, 2021. Brian Kernighan is a professor of computer science at Princeton University and one of the original Unix pioneers at Bell Labs. Brian described his experiences teaching "Computers in Our World," a first year course designed to inform non-technical students how modern hardware, software and communications systems operate, and their ubiquitous role in today's world. It was a 45-minute version of his one-semester talk!

Here’s Why!

One of the SuperDuty trucks I'm looking at is like this but with the 6.8 gasser - but the XL Off Road package which gives you the bigger 33" mud tires on small steel wheels, skid plates, off-road shocks and breather tubes for up to 30 inches of water. I like how it's basic, almost stripper truck, inexpensive to replace halogen lights, but you get the 8 foot bed with the extended cab. They're not that plentiful at dealerships though, so I'm not sure if I can get a good price and most of ones have Minizilla 6.8 rather then the Godzilla 7.3, which I don't need the power for towing but I would prefer the greater reliability of the bigger engine.
