This is a really good read on the concept of "keeping it simple". I think a lot of programmers now a days assume a complex problem requires a complex solution. Instead we need to think in terms of how we can decompose a complex problem into one or more very simple solutions.

I miss Professor Dewar a lot. Best college professor I've had.

He was a legend in NYU CS in Courant. The annual movie party at his home was also interesting.

I saw the uncut version of 'The Abyss' at one of those. Very different experience than the standard release.

I was hoping to read about the inventor of the Dewar flask. :)
