The January 1961 issue is dedicated mostly to compiler-related issues, especially ALGOL, though there are some articles on arithmetic and o...

This one boggles my mind. In the  October 1960 issue  of Communications of the ACM, Jack Hollingsworth of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institu...

Today's  Communications of the ACM  spelunking is a startling find from volume 2, 1959: Abstracts -- Nuclear Reactor Codes , attributed ...

For our first spelunking expedition, I skimmed volume 1 of the Communications of the ACM . The first thing that I noticed about the earliest...

 I'm feeling both a little random this morning, and very under-read as a general principle, so I'm going to start something.  We...

  (Click for a bigger view!) I went back and re-processed data from 2020/11/22, used for  this image . This time, I included the 10-second e...

 Yesterday I posted a photo of Orion that I'm pretty happy with. I included basic technical notes, but here are some additional anecdot...

 One of the major innovations in amateur astronomy since I was a kid is the regular use of polar alignment scopes. They existed, but were be...

This is the same data I've been working with for a few weeks now. The two bright stars on the left are two-thirds of Orion's belt, a...

 Best shot I got out of a couple of dozen. Prime focus, 90mm objective, 1250mm f.l., f/14, ISO 800, 1/10th of sec. C90 Mak lens, EOS 7D came...

  From my first session with my brand-new Celestron C90 Mak. f.l. 1250mm, f/14, so it's not bright. And yet, with my EOS 7D set at ISO 8...

  I've been getting back into both photography and astronomy, so, astrophotography. The picture above is the Orion Nebula, shot on Nov. ...

 If you're waiting on an answer to an email from me, or I owe you a document, or for some reason my inability to get something done is i...

(See the top of this set of postings .) Obviously, the main thing we're talking about here is Shor's algorithm.  I have not been ...

Naturally, my own interest in writing these notes stems from my experience in quantum computing and quantum networking.  The previous sectio...
