Technical Blog and online Resume
I’m Paolo Riccardi and this is my online resume.
This website was born mainly to share my experiences in IT and my interests related to Computer Science.
Over the years I’ve realized that the process to translate a new concept to others is very helpful in consolidating my own understanding of that concept, so I’m trying to include this process into my study routine. Writing technical articles is a (very) time consuming activity, but hopefully over time I’ll be able to add some post to the Linenoise section.
The ultimate test of your knowledge is your ability to convey it to another. (Richard Feynman)
“It was hot the night we burned Chrome”. That’s how Burning Chrome, a short science fict CyberPunk novel by William Gibson started. The novel gave the title to a whole volume which collected other remarkable short stories from the same author (Johnny Mnemonic, just to mention one of them).
I first read the novel in my teen years and somehow it managed to stay stuck into my mind so far, so I decided it was a good name after all.
There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things. (Phil Karlton)
