TAOCP = The Art of Computer Programming by Donald E. Knuth

• svat 7y ago
  Sorry, I don't understand: could you clarify why you're telling me this? Was there anything in my comment that seemed like it was talking about something else?

    I think the parent comment was trying to be helpful for other readers who might not know what TAOCP stood for, since it wasn't defined from the beginning of the comment branch. For what it's worth, I appreciated your defense of the book, that there's genuine value in reading it, rather than as a "coffee table book" (I guess social signalling); that Knuth explains things clearly and in detail, with unique approach and insights.

      Ah that makes sense, thank you. Always good to explain acronyms; it just didn't occur to me that it was a reply to the whole subtree of comments, so I was confused how to respond.
