This is the kind of shit you dream of when you got dengue fever

There’s a famous Usenet story about a programmer (Mel) who refused higher level abstractions. It was the late 1950s, and even in that era, Mel was…well today we’d call him a boomer. Mel only wrote in raw hexadecimal. He didn’t approve of compilers, and refused to use optimizing assemblers. "You never know where it's going to put things”, he said. Everyone else in the company was moving on to FORTRAN, and they didn’t understand why Mel was so stubborn about using new tools. He *loved* self-modifying code. “If a program can’t rewrite its own code”, he asked, “what good is it?” Mel eventually left the company, and other engineers were tasked with understanding what was left. Mel’s hand-optimized routines always beat the assemblers; but some of it looked absolutely bizarre. One engineer took ~2 weeks to understand why there were loops with no exit condition…yet the program worked fine. I won’t spoil all the details, you should really read it, it’s short. But it’s a fantastic piece on “what defines a real programmer?”…which is becoming increasingly relevant in this vibe-coded era. I strive to understand computers as deeply as Mel! If we aren’t careful, we’re going to lose the “Mels” of this world to time. That’s part of why I go so deep in my youtube videos. I hope that younger viewers are genuinely fascinated by the inner workings of our machines, instead of handing everything off to higher abstractions.

Love seeing Naomi Osaka honor the CLRS Algorithms textbook at this year's Met Gala

Esto es verdad. Cada vez que mis estudiantes se gradúan siempre sale alguien condenándolos al desempleo, como para afirmar que esos años de estudios no sirvieron para nada. Y, a veces, van un poco más allá y salen con que las universidades son espacios inútiles.

his tail is like that because he is about to take off. farewell little one

Mis estudiantes de la USB pueden durar entre 3 y 4 horas trasladándose para ver 3 horas de clases. Luego, tardan entre 3 y 4 horas para regresar a sus casas. En total, para 3 horas de clases de una materia, gastan de 6 a 8 horas en traslados. Eso debe cambiar.

This was the cutest mode I have ever seen
