The RISC Research Projects That Changed Commercial Processor Design
A careful history of Berkeley RISC and Stanford MIPS, their compiler and pipeline assumptions, register strategies, measured claims, and commercial descendants.
The defining moments in computing and video game history - verified, dated, and sourced.
A careful history of Berkeley RISC and Stanford MIPS, their compiler and pipeline assumptions, register strategies, measured claims, and commercial descendants.
A protocol-level history of ARPANET's NCP-to-TCP/IP transition, the planning RFCs, host conversion, gateways, DNS timing, and what flag day did not mean.
A source-grounded history of the 1947 Bell Labs transistor, Bardeen and Brattain's point-contact result, Shockley's junction design, and scale-up.
A documented Unix history from Multics and the PDP-7 through Thompson and Ritchie's file model, pipes, C rewrite, 1974 paper, and licensed diffusion.
How Tim Berners-Lee's 1990 NeXT application combined browsing and authoring, which Web components it implemented, and why later browsers narrowed the model.
Reconstruct the October 29, 1969 UCLA-to-SRI login from the IMP log, and separate ARPANET's first host message from later Internet myths.
Follow C from Bell Labs and K&R practice through ANSI X3J11, ISO C and C23, including what portability guarantees-and deliberately leaves open.
Trace the NIC host table's scaling failure, Mockapetris's delegated DNS design, the staged 1983–85 migration, caching tradeoffs and later DNSSEC.
How Ethernet moved from a 2.94-megabit coax experiment to switched full-duplex links without depending on collisions forever.
How GNU's freedom-centered movement and the 1998 open-source campaign came to share much software while making different arguments.
