The Invariance Principle was added to my commutative commute reading a couple of weeks ago (no pun intended).

Visual Dia|gram Language Studio, based on ideas and examples from the "Trace, Log, Text, Narrative, Data" book. I will start using it for new trace and log analysis patterns instead of Visio and see what else I can add or improve. github.com/DumpAnalysis/VDLS…

Applied Set Theory: Foundations and Practice for Computing, Data, and Engineering (ISBN-13: 978-1919135021) is now available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other bookshops. The proof copy of this pocket book, with a nice-to-the-touch matte cover, looks great inside too. When I saw it, I felt the same emotions I did in 2007, when I printed stack traces from a complete memory dump as my first book. But this time I didn't forget to put page numbers. I will start reading it next week :-)

Dmitry Vostokov 🇮🇪 retweeted
Lately, I’ve been working on another WinDbg extension in my spare time.
Due to how WinDbg is structured, it’s notoriously hard to build a user-friendly experience around it.
So instead, I’m designing it so you just run a single command inside WinDbg, and it pops up an external dashboard where you can interact with WinDbg directly.

In the early 1990s, I wrote a cluster search and analysis system for a mass spectrometer: about 5,000 lines of C for MS-DOS, with a helper periodic table dialog where you clicked an element to see its details.
45 minutes of Claude Fable 5.1 Extra have now re-created it after the short description above as two self-contained HTML pages, no build step and no dependencies:
ClusterSearch.html — load a spectrum (CSV or paste), detect peaks, search elemental compositions against a target m/z, find cluster series with a repeating unit, and compute and overlay isotope patterns.
PeriodicTable.html — the periodic table with isotopic masses and abundances (AME2020, CIAAW 2021), standard atomic weights (IUPAC 2021), and element properties.
A synthetic Ag/Cu cluster spectrum is included for testing.

Mathematical Concepts in Software Diagnostics and Software Data Analysis: Three levels of explanation, with terminology and practical value (ISBN-13: 978-1919135038)
Download link: dumpanalysis.org/mathematica…
This book was AI-synthesized from our catalog of mathematical concepts used in memory dump analysis and trace and log analysis (dumpanalysis.org/mathematica…)
Mathematical concepts provide additional viewpoints for software diagnostics and software data analysis. We can consider a trace as a sequence of messages, a collection of activities, or a structure of relationships. Changing the viewpoint allows us to ask different questions about the same software evidence.
In Mathematical Concepts in Software Diagnostics and Software Data Analysis, we introduce 85 concepts and explore their diagnostic interpretations. These range from graphs, equivalence relations, and partially ordered sets to sheaves, category theory, and ideas from mathematical physics. We consider how such concepts help us describe software behavior, compare execution structures, organize observations, and reason about incomplete evidence.
Each concept is explained at three levels: an intuitive explanation requiring no mathematical knowledge, an undergraduate treatment, and a graduate perspective. Every two-page entry includes an illustration, explanations of terminology, readings of formulas in ordinary language, and a discussion of practical value and applicability. Readers can begin with a concrete software example and return to the mathematical details as their understanding develops.
The concepts are arranged alphabetically for reference. Appendices provide mathematical foundations, classify the concepts, and connect them to their origins in analysis patterns and theoretical software diagnostics. Throughout the book, we distinguish formal constructions, structural analogies, and heuristic metaphors.
This guide is intended for software diagnosticians, developers, and researchers who want to extend their mathematical vocabulary and explore its use in pattern-oriented software data analysis.

I don't read my AI-generated book PDFs. Printed books are a different matter (no pun intended).

History of Russia in 20 projected volumes, with each volume usually comprising 2 books published by the academic publisher Nauka (Science). The picture shows what has been produced to date, so this is a lifelong reading (no pun intended). Each individual volume is Smyth-sewn and has 2-column text with an enormous number of references in footnotes, B/W illustrations, and color inserts. Most volumes are approx. 1,000 pages. It had been my dream to start reading it over the last few years, but it was too heavy to carry as baggage during my travels across the former Soviet Union (+20 kg), until I finally sourced it from Latvia a few weeks ago at a discount that may not be that great, but it offsets the would-be baggage cost. I started with Volume 11, Book 1, since 1914-1922 are the years that interest me most.
