The best programs are written so that computing machines can perform them quickly and so that human beings can understand them clearly. A programmer is ideally an essayist who works with traditional aesthetic and literary forms as well as mathematical concepts, to communicate the way that an algorithm works and to convince a reader that the results will be correct.
最好的程序是这样写的:计算机可以快速执行它们,人类可以清楚地理解它们。理想情况下,程序员是一位散文家,他使用传统的美学和文学形式以及数学概念来传达算法的工作原理,并说服读者结果是正确的。
自然万物发展变化的规律是:发展到尽头,就会走向反面;发展到极盛之后,就会趋于衰落。
The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion.
To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.
我们都被过去的线索联系在一起,无论我们是否知道。
There's not a day goes by I don't feel regret. Not because I'm in here, or because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then. Then a young, stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try and talk some sense to him, tell him the way things are. But I can't. That kid's long gone and this old man is all that's left. I got to live with that. Rehabilitated? It's just a bullshit word. So you go on and stamp your form, sonny, and stop wasting my time.Because to tell you the truth, I don't give a shit.
