Nytro Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 RIP Dennis Ritchie, 1941-2011: Computer scientist, Unix co-creator, C programming lanBy Xeni Jardin at 7:19 pm Wednesday, Oct 12 Computer scientist Dennis Ritchie is reported to have died at his home this past weekend, after a long battle against an unspecified illness. No further details are available at the time of this blog post.Wikipedia biography here.He was the designer and original developer of the C programming language, and a central figure in the development of Unix. He spent much of his career at Bell Labs. He was awarded the Turing Award in 1983, and the National Medal of Technology in 1999."Ritchie's influence rivals Jobs's; it's just less visible," James Grimmelman observed on Twitter. "His pointer has been cast to void *; his process has terminated with exit code 0."The news of Ritchie's death was first made public by way of Rob Pike's Google+.Photo, below: Candlelight vigil for Dennis M. Ritchie.

Andrei Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 Baieti, nu cred ca ai cum sa definesti importanta unui astfel de om pentru ca fiecare a ales nisa lui, s-a specializat pe ea si a incercat sa aduca un aport important asupra ei. Intradevar, unul a ales calea etica si unul calea banoasa dar astea sunt detalii tehnice care niciodata nu conteaza la un produs finit.Amandoua persoane sunt demne de respectat si de inteles pentru ca urmatoarea generatie deja se afla printre noi, doar ca nu-i stim pe toti. De aceea trebuie sa intelegem foarte bine prezentul, fiindca viitorul depinde de oricare din noi. Quote
