2 days ago · Background: The man or boy test was proposed by computer scientist Donald Knuth as a means of evaluating implementations of the ALGOL 60 programming language. The aim of the test was to distinguish compilers that correctly implemented "recursion and non-local references" from those that did not.
2 days ago · The KMP algorithm is an efficient string matching algorithm due to Donald Knuth, Vaughan Pratt, and James H. Morris. It is a linear time algorithm that exploits the observation that every time a match (or a mismatch) happens, the pattern itself contains enough information to dictate where the new examination should begin from.

20 hours ago · And I don't think it's good when you have to start doing that. You lose this programmer portability where everyone can read everyone else's code, which I think is such a good thing. Donald Knuth (1993, commenting on pre-standardized C++), who said of Edsger Dijkstra that "to think of programming in C++" "would make him physically ill":
