The Turing Award Winner John Hopcroft will visit MSRA on Oct.24th 2012.
It is honored to attend the presentation he gave to the undergraduate interns.

The topic covered in the presentation:
- John share his personal experience
- For a senior undergraduate student, how to make right choice in the right time
- The comments for current undergraduate and graduate education
- Suggestions to students about how to develop their core skills to meet the future needs

整个对话大概持续1个小时，John先说了20min,然后就话题讨论和QA,结束之后和交大ACM班的同学圆桌，我就没法参与了。

全过程里我记了大概两页笔记，摘录精华如下：
1. 关于选择： You only one life to live , so do the job you really love doing, don't concentrate on your payment
2. 关于热爱： If you do what you love to do, you'll work 16h a day, if you don't you will only work 8 hours
3. 关于兴趣： 多选几门课，找到自己的兴趣点
4. 关于传道授业： Every Thusday afternoon, I provide free food for my students and talk about their research problems（ps:我现在的mentor这点上很像，每周请实习生吃一次饭，大家带着问题来）
5. 关于道路： If your mentor bring you to the machine learning, data mining... you are on the good way

还有对MSRA的实习生项目的优劣进行了探讨，比较了中国和美国大学的不同，并对学习给出了一些建议。

the bio of John
John Hopcroft
John Edward Hopcroft (born October 7, 1939) is an American theoretical computer scientist. His textbooks on theory of computation (also known as the Cinderella book) and data structures are regarded as standards in their fields. He is the IBM Professor of Engineering and Applied Mathematics in Computer Science at Cornell University.

He received his master's degree and Ph.D. from Stanford University in 1962 and 1964, respectively. He worked for three years at Princeton University and since then has been based at Cornell University.

In addition to his research work, he is well known for his books on algorithms and formal languages coauthored with Jeffrey Ullman and Alfred Aho, regarded as classic texts in the field.

He received the Turing Award – the most prestigious award in 1986. The citation states that he received the award "for fundamental achievements in the design and analysis of algorithms and data structures." Along with his work with Tarjan on planar graphs he is also known for the Hopcroft–Karp algorithm for finding matchings in bipartite graphs. In 1994 he was inducted as a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery. In 2005 he received the Harry H. Goode Memorial Award "for fundamental contributions to the study of algorithms and their applications in information processing." In 2008 he received the Karl V. Karlstrom Outstanding Educator Award "for his vision of and impact on computer science, including co-authoring field-defining texts on theory and algorithms, which continue to influence students 40 years later, advising PhD students who themselves are now contributing greatly to computer science, and providing influential leadership in computer science research and education at the national and international level."

In 1992 John Hopcroft was nominated to the National Science Board by George H.W. Bush.
In 2009, he received an honorary doctorate from Saint Petersburg State University of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics.

Hopcroft is also the co-recipient (with Jeffrey Ullman) of the 2010 IEEE John von Neumann Medal, “For laying the foundations for the fields of automata and language theory and many seminal contributions to theoretical computer science.”

2012年寒假去海南单车环岛的
开了另外一个博客 http://806ad.sinaapp.com/ 两人共同维护
当时的设想是当做wiki一样共同编辑
事与愿违
最后算是完全废了
突然发现这个博客的memcache服务每个月还要消耗掉30个云豆，sae的memcacah实在是太贵了！
于是就把这个博客卸载掉了

上午电面，准备得挺充分，但好紧张，发挥得不好估计悲剧了。

中午卖萌约人吃饭，全是吐槽的，木有人鸟，最后好基友ysj慷慨请我在二食堂吃猪蹄子。

今晚开始闭关生活，本来还有点迟疑的，正好被一个姐姐激励一下，于是现在开始。

a.本来想回老家闭关的，但形式上的东西，效果未必好

b.于是我决定在博客上列出可以度量的目标，并每日反馈，这样更实际，更有效

c.前几天蛋疼复习考试的时候，在纸上写下了一大堆愿望，再加上之前to do list积压下的，正好借这次“闭关”的机会来个了断！

废话不多说，一切尽在不言中，本文每日更新，先持续一周(from 5-24 to 5-31),然后享受一个美好的儿童节！

1.阅读《集体智慧编程》

2.清理google reader关注数

3.阅读google reader文章

闭关前

5-27

4.完成【单车海南环岛】的日志

5.学习lingo语言 5-25在图书馆借书，看了一个多小时，算是入门了，然后帮小学同学搞毕设建模，不过模型有问题，还没收到更新版本

6.和同学合作njust自习室查询安卓版本 5-26晚上已经把初步设计说了，软蛋回去coding,设定了一天的期限

7.继续找实习 5-26去了学校招聘会，只投了360和江南云。

• 360下午就打电话让周一上午去南大面试
• 江南云是个创业公司，现在才十几个人，应该对我的简历感兴趣，因为离我学校很近，我准备去那里玩玩，不一定签实习合同，交个朋友，一起搞点有意思的东西也不错
