Discovering Artificial Economics - How Agents Learn and Economies Evolve.pdf
Taken from Preface: We live in an astonishingly complex world. Yet what we do in our everyday lives seems simple enough. Most of us conform to society’s rules, pursue familiar strategies, and achieve reasonably predictable outcomes. In our role as economic agents, we simply peddle our wares and earn our daily bread as best we can.
So where on earth does this astonishing complexity come from? Much of it is ubiquitous in nature, to be sure, but part of it lies within and between us. Part of it Comes from those games of interaction that humans play-games against nature, games against each other, games of competition, games of cooperation. In bygone eras, people simply hunted and gathered to come up with dimer.
Today you can find theoretical economists scratching mysterious equations on whiteboards (not even blackboards) and getting paid to do this. In the modern economy, most of us make our living in a niche created for us by what others do. Because we’ve become more dependent on each other, our economy as a whole has become more strongly interactive.
A strongly interactive economy can behave in weird and wonderful ways, even when we think we understand all its individual parts. The resulting path of economic development is packed with unexpected twists and turns, reflecting the diversity of decisions taken by different economic agents. But an understanding of economic outcomes requires an understanding of each agent’s beliefs and expectations and the precise way in which the agents interact.
In a strongly interactive economy, the cumulative pattern of interactions can produce unexpected phenomena, emergent behavior that can be lawful in its own right. Yet this is far from obvious if we study economics.
Design Guide Improving Commercial Kitchen Ventilation System Performance.pdf
Taken from Introduction: An effective commercial kitchen ventilation (CKV) system requires balance air balance that is. And as the designer, installer or operator of the kitchen ventilation system, you may be the first person called upon to perform your own “balancing act” when the exhaust hood doesn’t work. Unlike a cooking appliance, which can be isolated for troubleshooting, the exhaust hood is only one component of the kitchen ventilation system. To further complicate things, the CKV system is a subsystem of the overall building heating, ventilating and air-conditioning (HVAC) system. Fortunately, there is no “magic” to the relationship between an exhaust hood and its requirement for replacement or makeup air (MUA). The physics are simple: air that exits the building (through exhaust hoods and fans) must be replaced with outside air that enters the building (intentionally or otherwise). The essence of air balance: “air in” = “air out!”

The Unix Haters Handbook.pdf
You know the real trouble with Unix? The real trouble is that it became so popular. It wasn’t meant to be popular. It was meant for a few folks working away in their labs, using Digital Equipment Corporation’s old PDP-11 computer. I used to have one of those.
CGI Programming on the World Wide Web
One of the Internet’s worst-kept secrets is that CGI is astoundingly simple. That is, it’s trivial in design, and anyone with an iota of programming experience can write rudimentary scripts that work. It’s only when your needs are more demanding that you have to master the more complex workings of the Web.
