K&RIP

RIP Dennis Ritchie, direct or indirect co-creator of probably almost every computing device I’ve used since the late 80s, and almost certainly the one on which you’re reading this.

(I wonder what Mr Stallman will have to say about this? Actually, no, I don’t.)

  1. rms is actually stressed over this. dmr was a good friend of him and the last time I saw him at the campus he was not looking good.

  2. Ah, so RMS does like some people who write non-free software, then. Guess his Jobs rant must have been purely personal after all.
