does anybody have copies of the recent-ish taocp pdfs that have table of contents and internal links. the stuff that floats around and that i have are old scans |
| 08:43 |
phf |
it's the ones that are listed as ebooks here https://www.informit.com/promotions/art-of-computer-programming-books-and-ebooks-140521 |

there used to be sample chapters posted, i think even at that link, but i can't find them anymore, but to quote knuth |

“These volumes are now available also in portable electronic form, using PDF format prepared by the experts at Mathematical Sciences Publishers. Special care has been taken to make the search feature work well. Thousands of useful "clickable" cross-references are also provided — from exercises to their answers and back |
| 08:44 |
phf |
, from the index to the text, from the text to important tables and figures, etc. |
| 08:54 |
phf |
i'll go out on a limb and say that i suspect that not a single digital copy of taocp that's circulating in pirate version has ever been read, and that it's all larp and chan style hoarding “got some lit warez bro, makes you smart” |

mathematical sciences publisher ebooks have been out for a while, and if there was a genuine need among “the people” to use taocp as reference material, they would've long been leaked |
| 09:06 |

i should just bite the bullet and buy the pdfs, but pearson are such utter grifters, the whole thing is disgusting. even the fact that they list “eBooks include EPUB, MOBI, and PDF formats.” where PDF, last, is carefully handcrafted by master texnicians from msp, where's epub and mobi are junk conversions by bottom fee |

“ Unfortunately, however, non-PDF versions have also appeared, against my recommendations, and those versions are frankly quite awful. A great deal of expertise and care is necessary to do the job right. If you have been misled into purchasing one of these inferior versions (for example, a Kindle edition), the publishers |
| 09:07 |
phf |
have told me that they will replace your copy with the PDF edition that I have personally approved. Do not purchase eTAOCP in Kindle format if you expect the mathematics to make sense. (The ePUB format may be just as bad; I really don't want to know, and I am really sorry that it was released.)” |
| 09:12 |
phf |
oh yeah, i forgot that they also watermark the pdf, which i'm sure is done in the most aesthetically pleasing considered way, and not just an automated shit taken over a carefully crafted artifact |

worth to mention also the fact that he evidently formatted via microshit , with the characteristic ugh of broken-up tables etc |

normally could throw such thing in rubbish and fughet, but this piece was re a subj on which the texts can be counted on fingers of 1 hand; and, annoyingly, by far the best |
