“By the way, if you’re wondering where the word “algorithm” comes from, Knuth says that it derives from the name “al-Khowârizmî,” a ninth-century Persian mathematician.”
Thomas H. Cormen, Algorithms Unlocked

“If we want to solve 95 percent of the health problems in the world, what we need to do is give people enough to eat, and make sure they can drink clean water and breathe clean air.”
Eva Jablonka, Evolution in Four Dimensions: Genetic, Epigenetic, Behavioral, and Symbolic Variation in the History of Life

Bernard Cornwell
“If a man can’t remember the laws,” Ragnar said, “then he’s got too many of them.”
Bernard Cornwell, Lords of the North

“Abstraction is useful in software because it allows the programmer to: • hide irrelevant detail, and concentrate on essentials. • present a “black box” interface to the outside world. The interface specifies the valid operations on the object, but does not indicate how the object will implement them internally. • break a complicated system down into independent components. This in turn localizes knowledge, and prevents undisciplined interaction between components. • reuse and share code.”
Peter van der Linden, Expert C Programming: Deep Secrets
