The ChatAlgebra Educational Revolution
We need a ChatAlgebra revolution to reduce the gatekeeping role of the traditional Algebra course, to ameliorate the student suffering associated with the traditional mathematical sequence, to overcome inequitable results, and to free up the curricular space devoted to Algebra for the things students now need to learn. Using the newly free time, we could enable a more diverse body of students to become engaged and proficient in computer science and data science skills.
Inorganic Growth In Tech: Getting Shredded with Acquisitions
Acquisitions happen quite often in the tech industry and are far more complicated to pull off successfully than popping a pill.
5 Best Practices for Cloud-Based Backup and Recovery in 2023
These practices help technical professionals ensure their organizations' data is protected and can be recovered quickly.
What Do ChatGPT and AI-based Automatic Program Generation Mean for the Future of Software
ChatGPT is game-changing, the kind of thing that you witness once in a generation.
Did Grace Hopper Create the First Compiler?

On the Evolution of Languages: Natural, Mathematical, and Computational
Comparing the evolution of natural languages, which are used by people all over the world, with two artificial languages: the language of mathematics and programing languages.
Can Transaction Costs Explain Scale-Free Networks Born by Preferential Attachment?
Centralization leads to more efficient communication and control, which leads to lower transaction costs, which increases the useful work each node can spend on core non-communication tasks.
Early Computers in Continental Europe
About the Bark (binär automatisk relä-kalkylator, binary automatic relay computer) and Besk (binär elektronisk sekvens kalkylator, binary electronic sequential computer).
New systems like chatGPT are enormously entertaining, and even mind-boggling, but also unreliable, and potentially dangerous.
Will Free Open Access Publication Become a Mass Phenomenon?
In this blog post, I would like to go over the value of different publication platforms from the point of view of an ordinary scientific researcher.
Often, "we do this and then we do that" is just a lazy way of stating "to do that, we must have achieved this."
Why Is It Hard to Define Data Science?
Data science can be described as a science, as a research paradigm, as a research method, as a discipline, as a workflow, and as a profession.
Data Backup and VM Modernization: How-to Guide
A guide to VM modernization when dealing with data backups.
Shape the Future of Computing
ACM encourages its members to take a direct hand in shaping the future of the association. There are more ways than ever to get involved.
Get InvolvedCommunications of the ACM (CACM) is now a fully Open Access publication.
By opening CACM to the world, we hope to increase engagement among the broader computer science community and encourage non-members to discover the rich resources ACM has to offer.
