Thanks, that's not a nitpick at all. Can you provide a citation? It's all over the internet as a Dijkstra quote, and I'd like to be correct.

- 1xdevnet 3y agoFairly certain it is Dijkstra, in his own handwriting in 1984. https://www.cs.utexas.edu/~EWD/transcriptions/EWD08xx/EWD898.html https://www.cs.utexas.edu/~EWD/transcriptions/EWD08xx/EWD898... https://www.cs.utexas.edu/~EWD/ewd08xx/EWD898.PDF https://www.cs.utexas.edu/~EWD/ewd08xx/EWD898.PDF
- simiones 3y agoIt seems I made some confusions, you were actually right. Apologies...
- flir 3y agoNah, I think it's good to get the context. I never realised Dijkstra probably had Turing's paper in mind when he said that.
