Ask HN: What are some interesting papers I could read during vacations?
Hello there!
I've got a couple more days where the office is open and I can print stuff for free before it closes for end-of-year vacation.
What are some interesting CS papers I could print and read during vacations?
To add some context: I am a cloud engineer and I write code either as a hobby or to glue together pieces of infrastructure. I have an engineering background. I like low-level stuff.
As an example of papers I liked in the past I can bring up "sendmsg copy avoidance with MSG_ZEROCOPY" (https://netdevconf.org/2.1/papers/debruijn-msgzerocopy-talk.pdf). I did read that and try and replicate some of the results.
While you’re waiting for those, here’s my favorite scientific paper ever, from NASA, only 6 pages and includes the phrases “hell planet”, “Gerard K. O’Neill”, and “aerostat habitat” - https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/20030022668/downloads/20...
thanks!
