计算机科学界名言

• Donald Knuth
  
  • We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization is the root of all evil. （不成熟的优化是罪恶之源）
    
    • premature：adj. 早产的；不成熟的；比预期早的；
• “What I cannot create, I do not understand.”—— Richard Feynman

1. 硬件体系结构

• If you were plowing a field, which would you rather use: two strong oxen or 1024 chickens?
  
  • Seymour Cray, Father of the Supercomputer（ Computer Architecture, A Quantitative Approach）

2. 代码复用

• Don’t Reinvent the Wheel. —— 不要重复制造轮子；

3. 专家

• 所谓专家，就是在一个很小的领域里把所有错误都犯过了的人。—— 尼尔斯·波尔；

4. 数学与算法的乐趣

• People who analyze algorithms have double happiness. First of all they experience the sheer beauty of elegant mathematical patterns that surround elegant computational procedures. Then they receive a practical payoff when their theories make it possible to get other jobs done more quickly and more economically. D. E. Knuth
