Thu Dec 03 16:49:33 UTC 2015 <*> ascii_field ain't dijkstra either
Thu Dec 03 16:49:06 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> and i'm dijkstra now ?
Thu Dec 03 16:48:53 UTC 2015 <ascii_field> actually it was pretty obvious to herr dijkstra
Mon Nov 09 05:21:02 UTC 2015 <phf> i'm pretty bad a dijkstra programming, i need to see the system behave to reason clearly about it, and c is not it. besides the translation is the tirvial part
Mon Aug 10 02:12:40 UTC 2015 <asciilifeform> btw, iirc mircea_popescu once asked why dijkstra is not taught in american schools. the reason is not a secret: he openly taught that fewer people have any business programming computer than performing surgery
Wed Aug 05 20:04:13 UTC 2015 <ascii_field> nah that's dijkstra
Tue Jun 23 03:58:00 UTC 2015 <asciilifeform> 'every program contains at least one bug. every program can be reduced by at least one line. ergo, every program can be reduced to precisely one line - which doesn't work.' (dijkstra?)
Thu Jun 11 14:21:58 UTC 2015 <asciilifeform> recall dijkstra's observation re: how we might regard an astronomer who introduces self as 'working in telescopy' ?
Wed May 27 01:50:31 UTC 2015 <decimation> dijkstra: "My conclusion is that it is becoming most urgent to stop to consider programming primarily as the minimization of a cost/performance ratio. We should recognise that already now programming is much more an intellectual challenge: the art of programming is the art of organising complexity, of mastering multitude and avoiding its bastard chaos as effectively as possible.
Thu Apr 23 00:28:10 UTC 2015 <ascii_launchpad> (from when it was mostly clear, to dijkstra et al that -this- would come, to, well, when the symptoms became impossible to ignore for anyone half awake)
Fri Apr 03 02:33:27 UTC 2015 <asciilifeform> if i say that i -disagree- with dijkstra - then i do not believe these things.
Fri Apr 03 02:33:10 UTC 2015 <asciilifeform> let's say i said 'i think dijkstra was doing it right.' that would imply that i am in favour of structured programming, against the use of 'goto', and in favour of 99.999% of programming students being flunked and similar fraction of the practitioners of that profession - being fired.
Fri Mar 13 06:22:31 UTC 2015 <asciilifeform> and likewise dijkstra
Wed Feb 25 15:49:37 UTC 2015 <asciilifeform> dijkstra died as lived - honest man
Wed Feb 25 15:48:44 UTC 2015 <asciilifeform> dijkstra never betrayed
Tue Feb 24 20:09:24 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> i had forgotten just how on point dijkstra is.
