> Tanenbaum's "Critique of RPCs"

I had trouble finding this under the given title. For those searching, I believe tptacek is referring to Tanenbaum & Renesse, A Critique of the Remote Procedure Call Paradigm [0], published in 1987 or 1988.

A fun read, especially since "it's just the same as local" is a myth each generation gets to revisit. Compare to Waldo, Wyant, Wollrath & Kendall's A Note on Distributed Computing[1], published in 1994.
