Wow, it surprises me that there aren't more comments on this zine, which I find a delightful way to present interesting CS topics, detailed explanation and pages full of explanatory drawings that speak. The Zines page [0] mentions the definition of a zine:<p>> "a small-circulation print or online publication that is produced through noncommercial means and is meant to appeal to a niche audience"<p>So then, is "causally ordered message delivery", "introduction to choreographic programming", and "Fighting Faults in Distributed Systems" too niche for HN? Hand-crafted with human sweat and tears, no AI. Is that the reason then perhaps for the silent comment thread, i.e. TL;DP, "too long, doesn't prompt"?<p>[0] <a href="https://decomposition.al/zines/" rel="nofollow">https://decomposition.al/zines/</a>
