Today in 1954 I left the world with style. I was suffering from clinical depression due to a medication inflicted on me by court. But computability and complexity theories still developed after the new paradigm of mathematics I defined; it'd change the world from the beginning.

I may not have brought down websites by brute-force DOS attacks or tweeted made up "leaks" like "Anonymous" does, but I'll make do with having won a world war by cracking heavily encrypted codes for the first time in history. Y'know, not much; I tell myself I made a difference.

I was born 107 years ago today, which makes modern Computer Science about 80 years old. But Computer Science gets younger every year. Thank you for remembering this date.

Alan Turing's genius embraced the first visions of modern computing, but he was cast aside and died a criminal for his homosexuality. He never received a New York Times obituary — until now. nyti.ms/2ImGWIr

"Programming" in the context of "Dynamic Programming" and overall Computer Science, refers to a tabular method, not to writing computer code.

There is nothing about how long a system has been around that is more important than how well it works.

The scholarly journal Omega published two studies indicating the significantly higher likelihood one would die right before or right after one’s birthday.
