He shouldve just done leetcode
All I will say is this, there is always something really extraordinary and spectacular concealed and hid in something that is seemingly ordinary and commonplace. Do not be dismissive or slighting or ignoring or downplaying of anything, do not just brush aside or cast out , discard, disregard or be wasteful of anything, or listen without paying attention, which BTW is always the only thing that is worth paying, never any money. If you choose to ignore some useful and valuable piece of information, but more importantly the truth is always a theoretical abstract principle that must be rightly apprehended and practically and concretely applied in order to be appropriated, and acquired. If you fail to see the value of some truth by applying it, and putting it into practice you are the one who will be losing out and missing out, on the benefits it has to offer. Do not treat anything lightly, callously, flippantly, especially with regard to the most seemingly insignificant and the least of detail, cause in the end that is what is going to cost you the biggest, and that is what is going to make you pay the biggest. The only cause of your ignorance and failure is often only some tiny little detail you deliberately and wantonly or unknowingly ignored and overlooked missed, so never be brash, and reckless about anything.
A good insightful algorithm or computational method is far superior to a poem or a recipe or a tree. I may have an axe to grind but I do not have one to hack. This is neither art nor computing but a literal, a symbolic, and a figurative hack of art and of computing. It dishonors the spirit of science and of computing, and does them both a disservice. His books are heavy tomes, and from his countenance clearly burdensome and wearisome even on him, as much as they are on its readers. These books do not read like a pleasantly insightful, illuminating and instructional tour deforce on the art and the science of reasoning and of problem solving ,easing the readers passage through computing, alleviating and dispelling all myths, fears, trepidations, doubts and anxieties he might have, rather like a treatise with exercises on performing mental gymnastics, wrestling and warring, with facts and with figures concerning numbers, in much the same way I have seen some disgruntled cooks wrestle and war with their dishes while preparing them. Having painstakingly prodded through some of his offering, the first two volumes, with a fair measure of success, the only response it evoked in me was, words can speak volumes, volumes can say less than a few words. In life the only statistics that always count are the vital statistics, and those of this work appear to be as dead as a…… .
He is Living Legend ❤
Are his books useful?
Thank you, Donald, I enjoyed all your books and contributions in the field.
Division of zero 😅

Great podcasts.

Don Knuth – a legend!
OG Status: "I was asked to write a book explaining how to write a compiler, and I happened to be one of a few dozens who have written one."
This guy was GRRMing people before GRRM's balls dropped.
I started my journey with sorting – volume 3
every day i read a bit and feel blessed to be able to even find the text interesting and excited
This is life’s work by Knuth
I don't understand why people are struggling to understand the book ? I feel it's really easy to skim through the book it's very descriptive.
What a king
Lex, we are all greatful for your podcast.
Can you bring on Dylan Beattie. He speaks about this very subject in his lectures.
I barely got through 10 pages of volume 1. It made me consider giving up programming and take up shopkeeping instead.
I have 80 years and I want to learn to code, am I too old?
I'm watching it, exactly, one year later… YouTube's algorithm, what's your problem?!!!!
Nice.
this is a hell of an elevator pitch
Why does this video only have 2k views?? Even Bill Gates said if you think you know programming read this book…
this book will make you cry. You can spend 3 hours reading it and you won't pass the first two pages
Thank you for this clip, and Bless HIM!
I wish he can finished it!
For me I just started reading volume 1. I will read(study) it more!
Thank you.
I opened his book Concrete Mathematics and I cried. He is not from this planet.
