MIT students are amongst those, who change the world. MIT Professors on the other hand plant the seed, nurture and care, water and protect their students. And eventually one of their protégés becomes exactly that, a person to change the world … when she/he has dried off again from the water.

Charles Leiserson is one of these professors, and he is a really cool one. Quote: That's the great thing about algorithms. As long as you are rigorous and precise, you can be as sloppy as you want. 😏

This video on Assembly Language & Computer Architecture is a must-see for everyone getting into how computers work. It is an introduction to how assembly - or better machine code - is actually executed on a CPU. It is part of MIT OpenCourseWare and even if I assume, that you studied CS and know how that works, give this lecture a try. You will like it. Very much. Indeed.
