I just spent 30 minutes reading a detailed mathematical version of "draw an S; next draw a more different S".

    Burninating the countryside. Burninating the peasants. Burninating all the peoples.

  To spend nine pages full of mathematical formulae just to write a single letter (more) nicely shows the rigor/perfectionism/OCD that is the hallmark of Donald Ervin Knuth. Thanks for giving us beautiful layout and better-looking fonts. Every time I write a new paper when I press "compile" in Overleaf I'm greatful that he made our work more beautiful, and it motivates me to make the content matter, too.

    I fear we'll never see another Donald Knuth... even if there were somebody else like him (and maybe there isn't!), there'd be nowhere for him to go in today's world.

  How would Knuth opine on consummate Vs, I wonder...
