Chomsky has written and said many things, namely on the topic of linguistics and politics. In an attempt to get an overview of it all, I searched for the term “overview of chomsky’s work” and found post on znet called A Brief Review of the Work of Professor Noam Chomsky. Just what I wanted. One sentence mentions a television debate between Chomsky and Foucault from 1970, and luckily that video was available on YouTube. I decided to watch it, because it might give a more focused and deeper glimpse of some of Chomsky’s work, to balance the more general overview I initially wanted to get.

Watched the RAMCloud video
Today I watched a video on RAMCloud. I have made an index over the various sections of the video, with direct links. You’ll find this index in the bottom of this post.
“The RAMCloud project is creating a new class of storage, based entirely in DRAM, that is 2-3 orders of magnitude faster than existing storage systems”
Notable features (in my oppinion) a fast DRAM backed key-value interface with durability, fast recovery and the potential for adding transactions.
