System Programming in Linux
Learn to write real Linux software--not just run it. Most programmers never learn how Linux really works. Why? Because system programming is rarely taught, and the tools can be intimidating without the right guidance. As a result, many developers stick to high-level languages and frameworks--writing code that runs on Linux without understanding how it interacts with Linux. In today's world, that's not enough to stand out. Especially as more companies turn to AI to write their software, the question becomes: How do you stay relevant in an AI-driven world? You learn how things really work. If you've ever wondered how processes are created, how memory and files are managed, or how programs communicate in a Unix environment, System Programming in Linux will make it all make sense. This is a hands-on guide to writing software that interfaces directly with the Linux operating system. You'll go beyond shell commands and abstractions to understand what the kernel is doing--and how to leverage it through your own code. Rather than telling you how to solve each problem, Professor Stewart N. Weiss guides you through the process of discovering the solution yourself. Start with the core concepts of Unix and Linux, then work your way up to advanced topics like process control, signals, interprocess communication, threading, and non-blocking I/O. Each chapter includes conceptual diagrams, annotated source code, and practical projects to help you immediately apply what you've learned. You'll explore topics such as: The structure of Unix and Linux operating systems--and why it mattersUsing system calls to create and manage processesThe mechanics of signals, timers, and interprocess communicationUsing synchronization tools to write multithreaded programsInteracting with filesystems, devices, and terminalsBuilding text-based user interfaces using ncursesDeveloping programs that are robust, efficient, and portableAt Hunter College, Professor Weiss built the course this book is based on, and he has helped thousands of students go from confusion to confidence in his over 40 years of teaching programming. His clear, conversational style; technical depth; and focus on real-world application make this one of the most approachable and powerful system programming books available. As Linux continues to dominate development, server, and embedded environments, understanding the system behind your software isn't just helpful; it's essential. Whether you're a student, developer, or sysadmin, this book gives you the tools to work directly with Linux and the insight to understand what's really happening under the hood.

The first global casebook of AI harms
The First Global Casebook of AI Harms: 100 Sectors, 10,000 Subdomains of a Machine-Ruled World - One Human ConscienceArtificial intelligence has already entered every sector of human life - from health and justice to education, labor, governance, culture, and war. But the world has no common canon for remembering its failures. This book changes that.The First Global Casebook of AI Harms is the first comprehensive map of how intelligent machines are damaging human life across 100 sectors and 10,000 subsectors worldwide. Structured in the tradition of law school casebooks but elevated into a global moral canon, it documents harms not as isolated "glitches" but as systemic failures: misdiagnosed patients, students erased by exam bots, workers fired by algorithms, refugees denied entry by automated risk scores.Each case follows a locked teaching model: Introductory warning - prophetic insight into what happens when AI is built without values.Narrative case study - 700+ words of lived harm from across continents.Explainer box - plain-language guide for public and student understanding.Core value violated - grounded in the Universal Ruhangariyo Reflection Protocol (URRP).Conscience code reflection - moral and practical remedies.Exercises - reflection, debate, and policy scenarios for classrooms and communities.Just as Health Law: Cases, Materials, and Problems became the definitive canon for medicine and law, this Casebook is designed to become the reference text for humanity's encounter with AI. Its coordinates system (Sector-Family-Subsector-Case) functions like a Dewey Decimal for AI harms, ensuring every harm has an address and no injustice can be orphaned or forgotten.Across various sectors of human life - Health, Justice, Education, Labor & Economy, Governance & Politics, Social & Cultural Life, Environment & Resources, Global Inequalities, Technology & Infrastructure, and The Future of Humanity - the Casebook captures harms already unfolding: What emerges is a canon equal to the crisis: 40,000 cases mapped, structured, and preserved with evidence, methodology, and moral fire. Every sector is tied back to six continents' wisdom traditions - Ubuntu from Africa, Ahimsa from Asia, Kinship from the Americas, Manaakitanga from Oceania, Memory from Europe, Resistance from the Global South - to ensure this canon speaks with a truly global conscience.This Casebook is more than testimony. It is a thunderbolt. It warns that the greatest danger of AI is not its power, but its lack of conscience. By cataloguing harms with rigor and moral clarity, it equips professors, policymakers, activists, and citizens with the memory and tools to resist the orphaning of humanity.If the twentieth century required constitutions and health law, the twenty-first requires a canon of conscience. The First Global Casebook of AI Harms is that canon - a reference text for classrooms, governments, and movements worldwide.

Measurement-Driven Simulation of Complex Engineering Systems
The Dutch polder model recently dubbed a 'success story' by Bill Clinton and Jacques Delors - plays a prominent role in current discussions about possibilities for a new 'capitalism with a social face', and appeals to experts all over the world. Just ten years ago the Swedish sociologist G繹ran Therborn described the Dutch employment policy as a 'spectacular failure'. The authors single out three policy changes to explain the 'miracle' that has taken place since then. The 'Dutch miracle' shows that it is difficult but not impossible to overcome the drawbacks of the welfare state and that in this age of globalization and integration, it remains necessary to coordinate policy on a national level as well. In the last section the authors investigate the dynamics of social-economic policy which will have to be developed under increasingly stringent international conditions
