In London for The Wireless Event

01/05/2008

One feature I missed that day was a security trigger, where remotely I could erase it completely. Imagine that my entire life was there, photos,…

Andrew Binstock and Donald Knuth converse on the success of open source, the problem with multicore architecture, the disappointing lack of interest in literate programming, the menace of reusable code, and that urban legend about winning a programming contest with a single compilation. Andrew Binstock: You are one of the fathers of the open-source revolution, even if you aren’t widely heralded as such.
