Anyone who enjoyed reading that (especially the bit about mathematical reality) absolutely must read Anathem by Neal Stephenson. The proof is rather enumerative, which I will leave as an exercise ;) As for discussion.…
If referring to this sentence: "Examples are the programming languages Clojure, which is a contemporary dialect of Lisp, Rebol and Refal." Perhaps it's just poorly worded, but the intention seems to be to list each of…
Curious where "Optimize for less state, less coupling, less complexity and less code...in that order." came from. Would like to read more from that source.
Itching to buy Skiena's book for the practical examples (after perusing what amazon would show me of it)! Another very accessible algorithms book I highly recommend is: http://hetland.org/writing/python-algorithms/
Thanks for the link! Erickson's notes appear to be a treasure trove of insight into algorithms. I flipped to the section on dynamic programming and was impressed by how well the idea was boiled down. Also, sorry for the…
