Foundational CS / Programming Reading Group Posted: 06 Feb 2021 03:46 PM PST Hi all, Recently, I have had success doing an online study of Algorithms by Robert Sedgewick. Inspired by this experience, I would like to start a new reading group / book club that focuses on the fundamentals of programming and computer science. About me: I have a master's degree in math and theoretical CS (graphs, logic, optimization etc) from France. I have been coding since my youth, but I've recently come to realize how much knowledge I am lacking in the fundamentals of programming languages and computer systems. I have coded in Java and Python, I have some experience in front-end, and I love math and algorithms. I am also very serious about improving my skills as a software engineer. The books: having just completed the aforementioned Algorithms book, I have a short list of books that I am interested in studying next. I am also open to suggestions. Database Internals by Alex Petrov Effective Java by Joshua Bloch The Elements Of Computing Systems by Noam Nisan Designing Data-intensive Applications by Martin Kleppmann The group: the book list and concept for the group are very tentative. If several people are interested by this idea, we could discuss time commitment and availabilities, and assign reading assignments to be discussed in online meetings. Please write a comment or send me a message if you are interested by this idea ! PS: I am aware that there is a separate subreddit for programming. Given that my interests for this reading group are at an intersection of CS, algorithms, and programming, I have decided to try this subreddit as well. submitted by /u/Tobgay [link] [comments]

Do coherence and transactional isolation mean the same? Posted: 06 Feb 2021 10:30 AM PST About coherence vs consistency, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consistency_model says Coherence deals with maintaining a global order in which writes to a single location or single variable are seen by all processors. Consistency deals with the ordering of operations to multiple locations with respect to all processors. That reminds me of isolation in ACID in database systems vs consistency, from Design Data Intensive Applications: Isolation Most databases are accessed by several clients at the same time. That is no problem if they are reading and writing different parts of the database, but if they are accessing the same database records, you can run into concurrency problems (race conditions). Isolation in the sense of ACID means that concurrently executing transactions are isolated from each other: they cannot step on each other's toes. The classic database textbooks formalize isolation as serializability, which means that each transaction can pretend that it is the only transaction running on the entire database. The database ensures that when the transactions have committed, the result is the same as if they had run serially (one after another), even though in reality they may have run concurrently. Consistency Guarantees There is some similarity between distributed consistency models and the hierarchy of transaction isolation levels we discussed previously [4, 5] (see "Weak Isolation Levels" on page 233). But while there is some overlap, they are mostly independent concerns: transaction isolation is primarily about avoiding race conditions due to concurrently executing transactions, whereas distributed consistency is mostly about coordinating the state of replicas in the face of delays and faults. Is it correct that The two discuss the same meaning of consistency? coherence in the first and isolation in the second mean the same? Thanks. submitted by /u/timlee126 [link] [comments]
