The guy who invented Asymptotic Complexity. The guy who's changing screens for him is master of cryptography and has RSA Award. So guess how big he is for us.
He applied his intelligence in unconventional ways, winning a contest when he was in eighth grade by finding over 4,500 words that could be formed from the letters in "Ziegler's Giant Bar"; the judges had only about 2,500 words on their master list. This won him a television set for his school and enough candy bars for his entire school
14:50 on the issue "how would you measure time [the French tried to metric it up during their Revolution]?" The *actual* answers are already with us. Unix traditionally counted by seconds, UTC, from a fixed reference time. There's an ISO standard for the Gregorian calendar; though no universal agreement on how to apply it to dates preceding the inception of the calendar. The de facto AD/BC standard is that they are 2 *separate* sequences that mesh at 1BC-1AD (so, if they were both continued to negative values it would be ..., -1AD=2BC, 0AD=1BC, 1AD=0BD, 2AD=-1BC, ...) - i.e. a one-to-one covering of the integers by 2 separate positive integer maps. The application of leap days *during* the time of the inception of the Julian calendar was not fully regularized until late in Augustus' reign. Julian uses the approximation 1 terrestrial year = 365+1/4 days, Gregorian: 365+1/4-1/100+1/400 days. Both are defective. In fact, it is (currently) 1 terrestrial year = 365+1/4-1/128 days *exact* to the last second! So, the simplest reform is to just take every 4th year as a leap year, and revoke every 32nd leap year back to normal length.
Safari for mac has Java and flash. Safari for iOS does not. We are discussing safari for mac here, because we are basically talking about Knuth using safari on his macbook. I too am a computer science student and all profs at my school use safari on mac, the only thing bad about safari that I know of is its TOS. There was also a few security issues, which are all patched now. Plus, safari uses webkit engine, which is perhaps the best engines out there. Even chrome uses webkit...
Knuth's definitions of "data" and "information" in early 50s are the best but are not used in computer science / information technology. In stead cyclic definitions (raw information is data and processed data is information) and their variants pass off as valid definitions. In fact, it is difficult to search and access his definitions. PVN 06MAR19
He kept standing for such long time. And that quantum computing question, I think the way to solve and use mathematics any branch of science is gonna be same. So his books will be treasured forever. A great man with great knowledge!
At ~15 minutes someone asks about metric time, that would not be a good idea the way the economy is going right now, we would end up with 10 hour days and still have to work 8.
Safari is not a bad browser. You have to do better than just use hackneyed phrases and anecdotal comparisons to convince me. I am only interested in objective facts such as performance comparisons fact-sheets, test results and engineering and architectural short-comings that might prove you correct. Otherwise, its only your opinion and though you are entitled to have one, its of no value to me whatsoever.
How about the lack of Java & Flash for it for a start? I am computer science student & I have never heard anyone say a good word about Safari, not end users, my lecturers or peers, not even Mac users. Usual words they use to describe it are "brain damaged" & "retarded". The only thing remotely resembling a good word about it I heard anyone utter was by my JSP/Servlet lecturer who said "It works even using Safari for iOS, & that's the most brain damaged browser I have ever encountered".
FichDichInDemArsch Data races and race conditions are completely different things. What it says is that it doesn't aim to prevent dead-locks, this would be to restrictive and this was left to the libraries. And there are already libraries that can help you with that too.
FichDichInDemArsch I could touch on every point(maybe except for the compilation times - which btw improved a lot in the last 3 releases) but RUclips is not the best place to chat, so I'll leave the explanations... It's strange what you say about Dropbox, because I heard the other argument - the powerful type system also helps here to enforce different API and usage patterns that the libraries want - that some say that it makes it easy to pile safe abstractions without cost and make development easy. Btw, the std is not supposed to have everything piled in, it's intentional - I actually like this a lot, it makes it flexible.
lol, fail ... 18:30 he talks about browsing on safari on his computer ... safari = mac ... there is no safari on GNU/Linux because they don't make it for GNU/Linux. Nice try though, linux-fanboy.
Can't believe there're still empty seats..I means, "Man, this is Don Knuth!!!"..

Just calm down man, there is more things in life.
@@daltonalexander320nice try with another account.
So what he is not goddess of Venus, huh.he is of no use to bread maker, cobbler, mechanic, gold digger too. They talk ......
When you are Knuth, you get Dan Boneh as your helper.

Epic win: Knuth answers ALL the questions.
07:59 Knuth had Feynman as a professor? o.o it all makes sense now :D

Knuth begins speaking at 7:00

at 29.05 .., Knuth said the story of Archemedes.. but it actually the story of Euclid.."THERE IS NO ROYAL ROAD TO GEOMETRY.."
be proud to have lived at the same time with one of the greatest minds of all time .. think of Archimedes...
i finally saw you, Donald Knuth!
This grandpa is a goddanm fucking GENIUS!

Thank you stanford and thank you prof knuth.
He kept standing for such long time. And that quantum computing question, I think the way to solve and use mathematics any branch of science is gonna be same. So his books will be treasured forever. A great man with great knowledge!
Mr. Knuth was just getting warmed up to the top of the hour. Andrea True voices me.
It is CWEB.
At ~15 minutes someone asks about metric time, that would not be a good idea the way the economy is going right now, we would end up with 10 hour days and still have to work 8.
Video starts at 6:57
What do you think about this statement:
"Knuth is the Euler of our time."
5 programs per week :)
Which programming language did he say he uses? I can't figure it out.
Donald says Martin Gardnen is his hero
Knuth uses a Mac. :(
I guess it is settled now
When is the part where he answers how to pronounce his last name?
0:37
respect
subtitles for which language?
What's the name of the person that he said he is sad when people don't know him?
martin gardener
Am I the only one freaked out by that hyperextended elbow joint?
Martin Gardner
Delight!
respect :)
What a legend!!!!
very tall =D

28:00 - The answer is: Rust programming language...
FichDichInDemArsch Every point that guy mentioned is actually achieved by Rust.
You can't have even data races in Rust.
FichDichInDemArsch Data races and race conditions are completely different things.

Worst. Browser. Ever. And I have used Mosaic on a Sun Apollo
