Didn’t know map-reduce went back that far
jxjnskkzxxhx•6h ago
Lol map reduce.

The 2010s called, they want their abstractions back.

panzagl•6h ago
Given the effects of the harrowing of the North, the process was more like reduce-map...

OK, that's a good joke. +1 internets to you.

Contentless article.

Well it is basically a press release announcing a new book, but TFA does contain some things I didn't know. It specifically identifies the suggested author, namely Gerard, William’s final chancellor, later Bishop of Hereford and Archbishop of York.
jfengel•1h ago
That was new, though I wish they'd listed any of the reasons to think that.

They hint that it's stylographic, the details of which would not make terribly interesting reading. Still, I wish they could have picked out something, rather than irrelevant stuff about what a massive undertaking it was.

If they've got nothing more than "We ran it through the algorithm and this is what it popped out", then I'm not really all that interested in their conclusion. Stylometry provides hints but if you can't back it up with some sort of historiographic argument then it doesn't really inform history much.

KineticLensman•1h ago
Looking at the actual synopsis of the 1000-page (!) book [0], and the table of contents [1], rather than the press release, suggests that this was a fairly serious undertaking.

Thank you. That is much more compelling than the press release.

Sadly, at £143.00, I'm not that compelled. But I suspect I'll get what I wish to know eventually, perhaps from a podcast. (I'm more interested in the English language than British history, but I do end up listening to several podcasts who will certainly find this in their domain of interest.)
