Am I the only one who was expecting a design guide for consistent and partition-tolerant systems?

It could have been worse.

The initial title was "The book of CPS". Which HN told me could also be interpreted as Child Protection Services.

Or even Continuation Passing Style.

Could've been "The book of CP-System arcades" (Even me as an old gamedev was wodnering why the Wolf/Doom guy was doing distributed systems :D )

[pezezin]

In emulators and the like I always see it written as CPS1/2/3, so why not "the book of CPS1"?

[fabiensanglard]

I do talk a bit about the CPS-2 in it. Especially the outstanding on-the-fly 68000 .text decryption system that pretty much closed the market to bootleggers (it was only cracked decades later).

[sedatk]

I expected it to be about CP/CMS on an IBM VM/SP operating system.

[pyrolistical]

I think a book describing only CP systems would be valuable. There are very few AP systems that make sense and CA systems are a lie.

Imagined that the author must have dropped the A because all CAP is not possible !
