| Knuth: Structured Programming with go to Statements | |
| http://cs.sjsu.edu/~mak/CS185C/KnuthStructuredProgrammingGoTo.pdf | |
| There is no doubt that the grail of efficiency leads to abuse. Programmers waste enormous amounts | |
| of time thinking about, or worrying about, the speed of noncritical parts of their programs, and | |
| these attempts at efficiency actually have a strong negative impact when debugging and maintenance | |
| are considered. We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature | |
| optimization is the root of all evil. | |
| Yet we should not pass up our opportunities in that critical 3 %. |

| I'll exclude what you can find easily on Wikitravel: | |
| - The city organizes carnatic music concerts every now and then called | |
| "kutcheris". Ask a friend interested in music to take you to one. | |
| - It's less cosmopolitan than consumerist than many other cities | |
| (eg. Bangalore); very few avenues for spending. Avoid the big chains | |
| (Cafe Coffee Day, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Dominos Pizza etc): you'll | |
| have plenty of time to check them out in other Indian cities. The | |
| big weekend activity for a family is going out for dinner: so, check |
Let's have some command-line fun with curl, [jq][1], and the [new GitHub Search API][2].
