Sorry, this ain't Reddit.

If it is too long for you, then it is only good you don't waste your precious little time on this planet reading it.

Sorry, but td;lr has been part of this site for years, and there is nothing wrong with asking for a summary of a complex essay. Indeed a good summary often sparks interesting conversations.

Thank you for being considerate.

A humble man speaks about programming.

Take some time, this one is worth stepping back from the Internet firehose of information and sipping the lemonade of prose.

That's a joke right? "Dijkstra" and "humble" just don't go together: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KivesLMncs

One would need much more than the OP to know that--hence much is lost by a tl;dr abridgment ;).

Since "tldr" means "too long didn't read", maybe you need some of that humbleness yourself?

It has nothing to do with humbleness.

I'd appreciate a tldr version too.
