Inference · The Man Who Carried Computer Science on His Shoulders | Krzysztof Apt | InferenceLittle known outside his field, Edsger Wybe Dijkstra was a highly influential and often controversial figure in the history of computer science. Krzysztof Apt writes a tribute to his colleague, a pioneer and a genius whose work shaped the field like few others.
#Dijkstra's writing is full of gems 
The question of whether machines can think is about as relevant as the question of whether submarines can swim
I keep running into a quote, supposedly by Edsger Dijkstra, "Object-oriented programming an exceptionally bad idea which could only have originated in California". Now, I enjoy this witty little aphorism, but for the life of me I can't find any source for it - it literally only seems to exist as a quote people use and attribute to him. Anyone got a clue?
Somebody really loves their synchronisation primitives. #Dijkstra
Dijkstra's algorithm, one of the most brilliant and elegant algorithm ever.
(Dijkstra was born on this day, in 1930)
