Hello World throwback

I’m currently reading the “Hello, World!” book by famous computer scientist Brian Kernighan. It collects many of his columns for The Princetonian when he was teaching at Princeton University. In one I just read he’s writing about getting “in isolation” emails and setting his CS students exercises to estimate numbers of cases based on various scenarios. It was 2009 and swine flu. Feels horribly relevant!

Photo from last Sunday’s Doctor Who filming
