Computer security expert Jacob Appelbaum and renowned computer scientist Donald Knuth demonstrate the recursive homeboys principle.

current iteration:

Jacob Appelbaum & Donald Knuth

“We’re recursive homeboys this year, Don.”
“Nested and recursive parens. … We can square it every year.”

previous iteration:

Jacob Appelbaum & Donald Knuth

“Oh wait, let me stand behind you. Nested Parens”
“Don, do you mind if I put this on my home page?”
“Gosh no, you’re my homeboy after all!”
“Nested Parens”

The shirt Jacob is wearing in the photo is “Knuth Is My Homeboy” by Geekz Shop. Part of the proceeds from the sale of the shirt go to support the EFF and the FSF.

Knuth Is My Homeboy

Has Donald Knuth got your back? Computer scientists need groupies too.

Awesome!

My girlfriend is a little unnerved by my Knuth shirt. Why? Because Knuth keeps staring at her.
