Pascal’s triangle

Berkeley, Sunday, May 31, 2020 9:13 PM The genius of Pascal is that interesting that I continue discovering about him, not by reading about him, not for searching about his works for learning about him, but for learning about his applied works by applying them, and then learning that he either wrote or invented them.

Math Museum

Berkeley, Saturday, May 29, 2020 00:11 AM There is this great thing of Professor Tim Berners-Lee’s World Wide Web (www) invention that is the sharing of good information.

Which one?

Berkeley, Friday, May 29, 2020 5:22 PM It [C]ms that C++ got an A+ as the next generation of his pioneers PASCAL, Fortran, and others, which are not BASIC languages (1). All seem somehow complicated.

Dig

Berkeley, Sunday, May 3, 2020 5:41 PM If you are digging your own grave, no one would fight you for the shovel. I do not know all the meanings of the quote, but I read it the other day in a Op-Ed [Sorry for the imprecise quotation, because it is in purpose, as I do […]

Sharp minds and good hearts

Berkeley, Friday, May 1, 2020 9:40 PM A sharp mind has a cutting edge to break through complexity, find truths, and bring up light. It is not a navigator of safe waters, it rather is an icebreaker. An explorer of land and rivers, who gets into the muddy waters, and even into polluted waters to […]
