    • OUTLIERS is a book about success. It starts with a very simple question: what is the difference between those who do something special with their lives and everyone else? In OUTLIERS, we’re going to visit a genius who lives on a horse farm in Northern Missouri. We’re going to examine the bizarre histories of professional hockey and soccer players, and look into the peculiar childhood of Bill Gates, and spend time in a Chinese rice paddy, and investigate the world’s greatest law firm, and wonder about what distinguishes pilots who crash planes from those who don’t. And in examining the lives of the remarkable among us–the brilliant, the exceptional and the unusual–I want to convince you that the way we think about success is all wrong.

    • The idea is based on the Mark-Copy (MC) algorithm. The heap is divided up into a number of equally sized windows, say 40. One of these is the nursery, and the others act as tenured space. (I don’t know why, but the papers about this seem to use a two-generation rather than three-generation model. I think it could easily be updated to use three generations, but I’ll stick with this for now.) Each window has a logical number, with the nursery having the highest number.

    • I remember when computers were, for me at least, exclusively for
      work. I might occasionally dial up a server to get mail or ftp
      files, but most of the time I was offline. All I could do was write
      and program. Now I feel as if someone snuck a television onto my
      desk. Terribly addictive things are just a click away. Run into
      an obstacle in what you’re working on? Hmm, I wonder what’s new
      online. Better check.

      After years of carefully avoiding classic time sinks like TV, games,
      and Usenet, I still managed to fall prey to distraction, because
      I didn’t realize that it evolves. Something that used to be safe,
      using the Internet, gradually became more and more dangerous. Some
      days I’d wake up, get a cup of tea and check the news, then check
      email, then check the news again, then answer a few emails, then
      suddenly notice it was almost lunchtime and I hadn’t gotten any real
      work done. And this started to happen more and more often.

    • At first I tried rules. For example, I’d tell myself I was only
      going to use the Internet twice a day. But these schemes never
      worked for long. Eventually something would come up that required
      me to use it more than that. And then I’d gradually slip back
      into my old ways.
