For me the absurd part was this one: "Philip (President): Our factory is underutilized by 10%. Either we start building more of our backlog or we lay people off. I'd rather keep everyone busy, build inventory, and get ahead of the

I didn't knew about "Feynman Lectures On Computation" and was reading the reviews. There's only one 2 star reviews, I clicked to see what it was about. And surprise, it is by Guido Van Rossum! (And he's not that imp

Sometimes only. big O cuts all the constants and they are really important in actual software development. A lot of actual work involve improving the speed from a 10N to a 2N, it is a big difference for the costumer, but they are all O(N).

But if we see this in a more broad perspective, there is electronic music (not necessarily techno) that is as complex as Beethoven 9th. Specially if more avant-guarde electronic music is included, not just EDM.
