About four years ago, I wrote about Knuth's book "tour". Since the subject came up again, I thought I should update the LtU URLs that were mentioned in there:
I remain astounded at the extent to which the IEEE and ACM
both still live in the dark ages.
I suppose the alternative in both their cases would be
for the organization to simply shrivel up and blow away.
I have a vague recollection of having written something
about this (the gist: using ACM to publish your paper
these days is like the *opposite* of publishing -- i.e.,
it renders your paper *more private* than if you just
put it on your own web page) ... but now I can't find
it any more.
Knuth's 1974 Turing Award Lecture (PDF) is referenced in this LtU classic thread. It points to this PDF link, but that may have gone missing since 2002. I was able to snag a copy from the Wayback machine, though I haven't read it yet.
