A story that I was determined to hear from the source was the legendary quicksort 'wager'. The story goes that Tony told his boss at Elliott Brothers Ltd that he knew a faster sorting algorithm than the one that he had just implemented for the company. He was told 'I bet you sixpence you don't!'. Lo and behold, quicksort WAS faster. I asked Tony to tell this story pretty much every time we met, because I enjoyed it so much and it always put a smile on both of our faces. To his credit, Tony never tired of telling me this story 'right from the top'. I had hoped to visit again in the past year and record him telling it so that there was a record, but unfortunately this did not happen. However, I discover that it is indeed recorded elsewhere. One detail I might be able to add is that I asked Tony if indeed the wager was paid out or if it had merely been a figure of speech. He confirmed that indeed he WAS paid the wager (!). A detail of this story that I find particularly reflective of Tony's humble personality is that he went ahead and implemented the slower algorithm he was asked to, while he believed quicksort to be faster, and before chiming in with this belief. It speaks to a professionalism that Tony always carried.

The debugging experience with the GNOME ecosystem repeatedly resulted in situations of "nothing happened (but something should've), and now I have no idea why". For example, mismatching the types in g_simple_action_new vs in the GtkBuilder XML resulted in menu items that were greyed-out and disabled, and I had no idea whether I had written the XML incorrectly, forgot to set an "enable" flag somewhere, or made a different error entirely. Likewise, attempting to set up translations repeatedly resulted in "it just doesn't load the translation", and I had no idea what step in the build process I had missed. (As far as I can tell, translations simply don't work in the "latest" version (which is the default) of the Flatpak SDK. Selecting a different version, such as "48", magically works.)，推荐阅读PDF资料获取更多信息
