The most famous quote from Knuth’s paper “Structured Programming with go to Statements” is this: There is no doubt that the grail of efficiency leads to abuse. Programmers waste enormous amounts of time thinking about, or worrying about, the speed of noncritical parts of their programs, and these attempts at efficiency actually have a strong negative impact when debugging and maintenance are considered.

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2025-09-10 00:25:28

The crypto world is buzzing. If you ask a true believer, they’ll say this is just the beginning of a financial revolution. Ask a skeptic, and they’ll swear we’re watching a bubble inflate in real time, one that could pop at any second. This entire debate is now playing out in a public showdown between two of the biggest names in finance. Michael Saylor and Jim Chanos are two men with very different visions of the future, and they’re now in open combat on X (formerly Twitter). Saylor, the billi

Nothing fans are mixed on the Phone 3’s leaked design, but what do you think?

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-10 04:58:25

Nothing is expected to launch the Nothing Phone 3 tomorrow (July 1), and we already know that the phone will have a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset and a 50MP periscope camera. However, Android Headlines posted apparent Nothing Phone 3 renders last week (seen above), and it certainly seems to have drawn a polarizing response online. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that the sentiment has been overwhelmingly negative, with people calling it “ugly” and “awful.” One Redditor even called it an “abomina
