The most popular term: “Knuth,” a reference Donald Knuth, a famous computer scientist. It makes sense that techies would want to honor one of their heroes. But then it gets weird. Second place, according to Krugle, went to the term “Satan,” which we hope is a joke rather than a reference to anothe 2008-05-07 01:55:27 PDT http://technorati.com/search/britneypost.org/2008/05/07/knuth-satan-george-bush-and-britney-spears-help-programmers-write-their-code/ 10 259 Britney Spears http://www.marcelor.com/2008/04/donald-knuth-usa-ubuntu.html http://www.marcelor.com/2008/04/donald-knuth-usa-ubuntu.html Tue, 29 Apr 2008 18:00:47 -0700 En una entrevista que le hiciera InformIT el proclamado padre del Análisis de Algoritmos y autor de una de las biblias de la Ciencia de la Computación: The Art of Programming nos cuenta: Actualmente utilizo Ubuntu Linux en un laptop independiente, sin conexión a Internet.

Como o Paulo Silveira comentou no GUJ, Knuth tem algumas opiniões controversas e polêmicas sobre testes unitários, eXtreme Programming, Open Source e programação concorrente. O Phillip Calçado também comentou o assunto, referindo-se a opinião do Keith Braithwaite, que tem ótimos pontos. Sobre testes unitários em particular, Knuth fala o seguinte: […] the idea of immediate compilatio 2008-04-29 17:47:38 PDT http://technorati.com/search/gc.blog.br/2008/04/29/programadores-de-schrodinger/ 52 105 » Guilherme Chapiewski - Blog sobre desenvolvimento de software e tecnologia http://stochastix.wordpress.com/2008/04/29/the-hungarian-system/ http://stochastix.wordpress.com/2008/04/29/the-hungarian-system/ Tue, 29 Apr 2008 15:29:31 -0700 Quoting renowned U.S. computer scientist Donald Knuth (b. 1938): The Hungarian educational system has been the most successful in pure mathematics. The other day I was chatting with a friend who’s a grad student in Computer Science at the Univ. of Chicago, and we were commenting how intriguing it is that Hungarians seem to dominate Discrete Mathematics. Graph Theory and Combinatorics, especially. Paul Erdős (1913-1996) and Alfréd Rényi (1921-1970) were prime examples of such dominance.

But some part of it - dealing with parallelism and multicore computing - made me think.

I also must confess to a strong bias against the fashion for reusable code. To me, “re-editable code” is much, much better than an untouchable black box or toolkit. I could go on and on about this. If you’re totally convinced that reusable code is wonderful, I probably won’t be able to sway you anyway, but you’ll never convince me that reusable code isn’t mostly a menace.

It has tons of short videos with “the world’s greatest thinkers, creators, and achievers.” While some of the categories seem to have sparser coverage than others, it’s still a wonderful idea (sort of like TED but in miniature), and it’s been cool to hear the stories of people like Donald Knuth (computer scientist, creator of the TeX typesetting system, and I’m betting only two or three of you have even heard of it :P) and 2008-04-27 21:08:36 PDT http://technorati.com/search/www.topofthemountains.net/2008/04/27/peoples-archive/ 49 72 Top of the Mountains http://stefon.wordpress.com/2008/04/27/interview-with-donald-knuth/ http://stefon.wordpress.com/2008/04/27/interview-with-donald-knuth/ Sun, 27 Apr 2008 08:00:16 -0700 If you are a progammer chances are good that you have heard something about Donald Knuth creator of the books The Art of Computer Progamming.

Among those, Donald Knuth is pretty much at the apex, certainly in the world of computer science. His interviews are all-too rare these days, not least because he is racing against time to write as much of his magnum opus, The Art of Computer Programming, as he can.

Such algorithms could never be important in a real computer application. I read hundreds of such papers to see if they might contain nuggets for programmers, but most of them wind up getting short shrift.
