kmote00··on Training Your Brain So That You Don’t Need Reading Glasses (2017)
I just spent 5 minutes (on my Samsung phone) trying to download the app from the link you provided. I clicked on the Chrome icon, the Android icon, and one or two others. The only one that seemed to work was the Firefox icon. But I don't use Firefox, so I gave up.

kmote00··on Computer Programming as an Art (1974) [pdf]
Interesting observation, but I am not sure what your point is in this thread. Knuth understood the distinction and selected his words intentionally.

"When I speak about computer programming as an art, I am thinking primarily of it as an art _form_, in an aesthetic sense. The chief goal of my work as educator and author is to help people learn how to write _beautiful programs_."
