Me an' Algernon – grappling with (temporary) cognitive decline

Originally published May 20, 2015. Since then my cognitive function has made a fairly complete comeback, well except accounting for normal aging. I was reminded of this essay by my experience with augmented coding. That “normal aging” stuff left me without the patience to get set up for coding.

Mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) has become a cornerstone of operations research. This is driven by the enhanced efficiency of modern solvers, which can today find globally optimal solutions within seconds for problems that were out of reach a decade ago.
