Blog Recommendation: "Brain Food for Hackers" Earlier today I literally stumbled into a site unfamiliar to me, the blog of Gustavo Duarte called "Brain Food for Hackers."
Contrary to what you might expect from the name, it is not a guide to hacking, but (among other things) a series of extremely clear, lucid, and accessible articles -- most with great graphics -- explaining how modern PCs and OSes work in various respects -- CPU, system calls, page caches, recursion, and so on. While most of his examples are for UNIX/Linux, he also takes care to explain the relationship of these principles to Windows and other systems. His blog is only relatively infrequently updated -- the last update is from late last year. But if you've ever wondered how this stuff works -- and you really should! -- you might want to check out his blog archive at: http://duartes.org/gustavo/blog/archives/ Great work, Gustavo! --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein ([email protected]): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com/privacy-info Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://google.com/+LaurenWeinstein Twitter: http://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com _______________________________________________ nnsquad mailing list http://lists.nnsquad.org/mailman/listinfo/nnsquad
