- presidentender 16y agoThe effect of loading the first page of that paper was staggering. Just seeing LaTeX (well, Knuth's 'Computer Modern' font) has the same effect on a paper that a suit does on a businessman - the author rises in my estimation without any real effort. Now, I haven't spent enough time with the paper to get anything more than "Google is built on linear algebra," so it could be totally vacuous... but I still assume it's full of good information.

- spitfire 16y agoYes, but he has a point. You can concentrate on the subject better when you're relaxed. Just like you can do linear algebra better sitting in a comfy chair at home than you can in Kabul. Also, a good suit looks good on anyone. Not just a "businessman". Programmers too, try it!
