Happy belated birthday, Donald Knuth
It wasn't until I read Yoav's blog post that I realized that I had missed Donald Knuth's birthday. Mr. Knuth is on my short list of programming and computer science giants. And it goes without saying that his seminal work, The Art of Computer Programming, holds a place of honor on my bookshelf... it also goes without saying that it is an incredibly worn and dog-eared copy...
