“The history of science, like the history of all human ideas, is a history of irresponsible dreams, of obstinacy, and of error. But science is one of the very few human activities-perhaps the only one-in which errors are systematically criticized and fairly often, in time, corrected. This is why we can say that, in science, we often learn from our mistakes, and why we can speak clearly and sensibly about making progress there. In most other fields of human endeavour there is change, but rarely progress ... And in most fields we do not even know how to evaluate change.” KnowsHumansIdeasDreamScienceSpeakMistakeHistoryKnow HowLearningProgressFieldsActivityErrorsClarityIrresponsibleEvaluateEndeavourHuman ActivityHistory Of ScienceObstinacyLearning From Our Mistakes Author:Karl Popper

“Beauty is more important in computing than anywhere else in technology because software is so complicated. Beauty is the ultimate defense against complexity. ... The geniuses of the computer field, on the the other hand, are the people with the keenest aesthetic senses, the ones who are capable of creating beauty.

“I think that it's extraordinarily important that we in computer science keep fun in computing. When it started out, it was an awful lot of fun. Of course, the paying customers got shafted every now and then, and after a while we began to take their complaints seriously. We began to feel as if we really were responsible for the successful, error-free perfect use of these machines. I don't think we are. I think we're responsible for stretching them, setting them off in new directions, and keeping fun in the house. I hope the field of computer science never loses its sense of fun.” IfsThinkingFeelsImportantUseCoursesHouseFunLosesPerfectLearningSuccessfulFieldsComputerMachinesResponsibleErrorsCustomersSettingSettingsAwfulProgrammingNow And ThenComplaintsStretchingComputer ProgrammingComputer ScienceProgramming LanguagesComputer LanguageComputingNew Directions Author:Alan Perlis
“Gates has always understood Moore's Law better than anyone else in the industry. If you can make something run at all, get it out there -it may be slow and clunky, but hardware improvements will bail you out. If you wait until it's running perfectly on the hardware already in the field, it will be obsolete before it's released. This philosophy built Microsoft and is the main reason Microsoft won the war IBM declared back in the OS/2 days.” IfsMayWarReasonPhilosophyRunningLawWaitingLearningFieldsIndustryUnderstoodBuiltImprovementProgrammingGatesMicrosoftObsoleteHardwareBailIbmMoore's Law Author:Jerry Pournelle
