What are cookies?

Just kidding. I always forget stuff like that. Thanks for the "Pro Tip"

I live in the Philippines. There is no public anything here, LOL

While I appreciate you sharing this article, my free reads on New York Times have long been used up, and I don't plan to buy a subscription. But I've been to a book "factory" at Anadolu University in Eskisehir, Turkey. The printers ARE huge!

Die-hard Hershey's fan here. Maybe I'm a pleb, but I am not a fan of "artisanal" anything (these guys put the "anal" in "artisanal"). I only eat maybe one bar a week. I probably get ten times the amount of palm oil in my wife's cooking (she's a Filipina), and at 51, I can still run two miles better than most 30-year-olds. But hey, if you want to blow $5 or $10 on a chocolate bar, be my guest. I save my $s for books.

Once you've understood the basics, get the Gradus Ad Parnassum by Johann Joseph Fux. A word to the wise is sufficient.

I know, right? This is kind of how I feel about org mode (in Emacs).

It never ceases to amaze me how computer programmers can take the simplest things and make them mind-numbingly complex. Oy ve (and yes, I'm a programmer)! But if it makes him happy, more power to him.

Primitive Recursive Functions

Awesome book. Thanks. I've been needing to get back on my mathematics studies. This fits the bill perfectly.

Well, being a mathematician, and having written important texts on numerical analysis, numerical programming was probably foremost in Hamming's mind. Interestingly, he doesn't accuse C of the same issues. I don't really have an opinion one way or the other. I just remembered the quote, and thought I'd share it. Hamming was a pretty awesome dude, so I reference him from time to time.
