"Perhaps the biggest difference between the two novels is that Goldratt’s protagonist gets promoted after demonstrating the success of his techniques, while Kim’s is promoted while it’s still clear to him and his manager that he has no clue what he’s doing. This ass-backwards career progression is necessary to make the book realistic in a software development context."

Play It Again, Sam
While the phrase "Play it again, Sam" never occurs in the film Casablanca, the sentiment does. Sam is asked to play "As time goes by", a song about how some things remain the same despite the passage of time. The song was originally part of a 1931 Broadway musical, and perhaps ironically due to a musician's union strike when Casablanca was released, the studio were unable to release a new version of the song as a record. Instead, they re-issued the original version, recorded over a decade earli…

What is sensory substitution? When I speak to you and say, "Imagine a rising bright line", and you "see" a rising bright line in your mind's eye, that's mental imagery guided by sound, a form of sensory substitution. The vOICe vision BCI generalizes this such that it works for all images. And yes, being software-based, it is already in "mass production" well ahead of any Neuralink Blindsight brain implant, with well over 500,000 cumulative installs from Google Play https://lnkd.in/dGaF2br More…

"Voyager 1 was launched the day after I celebrated my 4th birthday. I watched Cosmos on Canal 13 when I was in 1st grade. I saw Voyager 2’s pictures of Uranus in the pages of the Argentine edition of the "Muy Interesante" magazine as I was heading towards high school. Years later, I read Sagan’s "Dragons of Eden" and "Pale Blue Dot" books while studying physics in college. Carl Sagan passed away shortly before I began a career in software."

Carl Sagan
The news of a software patch uploaded to the Voyager probes reminded me of a 1980 book telling precisely the story of how their journey began 46 years ago. When said book hit the publishing press, Voyager 1 had just finished its flyby of Saturn, a planet which Voyager 2 was about to survey a few months later. Assisted by gravity slingshots, the latter probe would reach Uranus in 1986 and Neptune in 1989. Both Voyagers would cross the Heliopause decades later, one in 2012, and the other in 2018.…
