Hate to be the pill here, but that is the only story on the entire Internet making this claim. ACM also linked to it and linked to https://go2senkyo.com/seijika/122181/posts/685617 But that also is not what this (blog) says. This blogger does have an opinion on Nagoka's thoughts, but he is not reporting on official policy
Indeed. The 2nd edition companion Student Manual by Tom Hayes (which will also be updated) used in Harvard's class covers building a functioning computer 'from scratch'. Lots of practical labs and discussion in it.
Also, the AoE 3rd edition has a new chapter on microcontrollers.
I'll see if it's OK to post a table of contents of the new book here.
Just FYI, in case it's not well-known, there's now an electronic version of the 2nd edition for Kindle. It's page-scanned (something Amazon used to be picky about because of file size), so the figures are nice and crisp.
