This version shouldn't be linked, even though it's the canonical one everyone links, because it's bad. If you check it against the original paper (https://gwern.net/doc/cs/algorithm/1982-perlis.pdf https://gwern.net/doc/cs/algorithm/1982-perlis.pdf) you can see it has transcription errors and omits a bunch - it just drops the last 10! Perlis goes to 130, not 120!

- dang 3y agoOk, I changed to that from https://cpsc.yale.edu/epigrams-programming https://cpsc.yale.edu/epigrams-programming on the grounds that accuracy and completeness are more important than (somewhat) degraded readability.
