Don Knuth : An earthshaking anouncement
- zephjc 16y agoThis is a very slow site. Is there a mirror for this?
- cicada 16y agoAnyone who wants to mirror can try downloading the video from http://media.river-valley.tv/conferences/tug-2010/Don-Knuth.mp4 http://media.river-valley.tv/conferences/tug-2010/Don-Knuth....
- cstuder 16y agoDon't get impatient: For me, there was a delay of several minutes between HTTP-request and its response.
- malkia 16y agofyi: The new product would speed up such sites, using it's cloud technology built-in, or as a plugin.
- smallhands 16y agoplease explain what is fyi?
- greenlblue 16y agoThis is awesome. The funny just doesn't stop.
- setori88 16y agoPlease post your mirrors here.
- billstr 16y agoWOW, a black page
- deleted 16y ago[deleted]
- bluemoon 16y agoYeah it never actually loaded for me :(
- jerguismi 16y agoI fucking hate these videos. Why they don't even provide summary in the web page?
- gnaffle 16y agoBe patient. With the new revolutionary product by Knuth, the summary will be generated automatically.
- warp 16y agoNormal HTTP link: http://www.frob.nl/tmp/Don-Knuth.mp4 http://www.frob.nl/tmp/Don-Knuth.mp4
- warp 16y agoNow that avar has posted a .torrent, I've removed this file.
- ojilles 16y agoAnyone have a quick summary of what this is even about?
- michael_dorfman 16y agoIt's a product announcement by Knuth, for a successor to TeX. Telling any more would spoil the fun-- and if the sentence above doesn't sound like big fun to you, well, then don't even bother with the link, you're not in the target audience.
- hugh3 16y agoReally, it's a video, not everyone wants to watch a video. Can I assume it's a joke product rather than a real product?
- TallGuyShort 16y agoYes, it's a joke product. It's 34 minutes, and rather funny, but not likely something you'd take time out of your day to watch in it's entirety.
- michael_dorfman 16y agoDifferent strokes, I guess. I take 34 minutes out of my day to watch a Knuth video every chance I get.
- zephjc 16y agoI can't wait to use ǐTéx (ring-a-ding)!
- jarin 16y agoI love that he uses transparencies on an overhead projector. That's true old-school.
- cosmohh 16y agothe bell is awesome :)
- avar 16y agoSince the HTTP mirrors warp and cicada put up are getting hammered I've made a Torrent of Don-Knuth.mp4: http://v.nix.is/~leech/Don-Knuth.mp4.torrent http://v.nix.is/~leech/Don-Knuth.mp4.torrent It's using the OpenBitTorrent tracker. Please seed it.
- chronomex 16y agoI can't seem to contact the tracker. Does it work for other people?
- avar 16y agoI daresay it's only a problem you're having. As I write this 250 unique IP addresses have downloaded the Torrent, and I've uploaded 1145.7 MB of it myself, or 8.9% of the expected total: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=100+*+(1145.7+MB)+/+(51.5+MB+*+250) http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=100+*+(1145.7+MB)+/+(51... That's not bad for outsourcing your bandwidth, BitTorrent rocks!
- mark_h 16y agoThe best thing is somewhere someone is probably working on actually implementing this, like so many XKCD cartoons.
- lvecsey 16y agoSociety has a little bit of iTex in all its products.
- coverband 16y agoQuick summary from /.: http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1705630&cid=32765784 http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1705630&cid=... for those with no patience who want to get to the joke.
- zck 16y agoHas anyone been able to get into http://projectmarianne.com http://projectmarianne.com , the site about this project?
