Okay, The Art of Computer Programming vol 4B was been published THREE MONTHS AGO and I'm only finding out about it today? From an off-hand comment on the Other Site, no less?

Donald Knuth: It's really important to be precise, here's 391 pages on sorting.

Also Donald Knuth: H places the float at precisely the location in the LaTeX code. This is somewhat equivalent to h!.

No matter how many times you proofread your book, after publication there will be roughly one typo per page. -- Joseph H. Silverman via #TAOCP (Errata to Volume 1)

I should just have #TAOCP on my desk so I can flip to a random page when I'm bored, cause like, those pages are worth reading again.

I wish I understood *any* of it, but I'm glad I read it!
