What makes concurrency so hard?

from Computer Things [alt+shift+b] in programming

A lot of my formal specification projects involve concurrent or distributed system. That's in the sweet spot of "difficult to get right" and "severe costs to getting it wrong" that leads to people spending time and money on writing specifications. Given its relevance to my job, I...

For a while now, this website has been my own personal writer’s block. I was struggling to write, even when I had good ideas; if I wrote something I liked, I was often reluctant to publish it; if somebody asked to read the site, I’d wince before giving them the link. Something...

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
