In some ways it can be compared to a recipe. the right ingredients AND the
right timing & sequence is key.. And makes the difference in outcome between
some sad lump of something and the brilliant cake.

Programming sounds like cookery.

Thanks Russell, just ordered a copy as well. It will dovetail in nicely with
Max Tegmark's book, about to embark on Chapter 12 into the meat of his

I suspect you will get it. am in the middle of a spot of pretty intense
programming that has been swallowing my time and filling my thoughts. Kind
of walked into inheriting a hot potato that had been promised some time ago,
and never delivered, because the service that had been developed was this
byzantine bowl of spaghetti that nobody wanted to touch with a ten foot
pole. After struggling with this artfully horrible code for a month to try
to understand it well enough to take it on I finally convinced them that it
was a lost cause by showing that it was outputting a lot of bad values. That
was two weeks ago and in two weeks I essentially rebuilt the entire thing
from scratch.

So Max has to fit within my lunch hour, in fact there are a few smudges on
some of the unlucky pages. Meaning no disrespect, I am afraid, my life being
what it is now that your translation of Bruno's book will also share that
same lunch hour risk. a little inadvertent splash off the plate of curry
perhaps, landing on the page .

Apologies for the random detour into life. looking forward to reading my
copy when it arrives.

Cheers,

Chris
