5. Mark Taub, Pearson: Does the emergence of "apps" (small, single-function, networked programs) as the dominant programming paradigm today impact your plans in any way for future material in TAOCP?

Don Knuth: People who write apps use the ideas and paradigms that are already present in the first volumes. And apps make use of ever-growing program libraries, which are intimately related to TAOCP. Users of those libraries ought to know something about what goes on inside.
[b]Future volumes will probably be even more "app-likable,"[/b] because I've been collecting tons of fascinating games and puzzles that illustrate programming techniques in especially instructive and appealing ways.

What the fuck are you babbling about, retard? You're not being funny or ``offensive''.

No, I'm not >>6.

Tell me how a person masturbating over a computer scientist on a weird website such as this and calling them Japanese titles is not a sign of being creepy? Because the fucking nut says his God looks ``creepy'' and though as if he is not the real creepy one. He's the one trying to be offensive, not me.

weird website such as this
You answered your own fucking question. Do you expect the people on this site to be well-adjusted members of society?

Please leave if you're weirded out by the slightest display of ``weirdness''. There are better sites for you out there.

You fucktard teenagers don't know anything about truly being weird in the first place. You aren't even ted bundy wannabe level. I'm not ``weirded out'' and I'm not going to let fucktard teenagers be fucktards. I'm just saying the obvious about about him being creepy. You’re a bunch of pseudo-intellectuals, you never post anything about programming and if you do it isn't significant. Anime is of incredibly bad taste and kitsch and your non-authentic non-genuine interest in Japanese ``culture'' is like that of elementary school children roleplaying as pokemon on the playground.
