I know... I bet it'll be the same thing when the true creator of Apple (Steve Woz) goes...NickJohnson wrote:How did I not hear about this yet? Steve Jobs dies and it's all over the news, but the creator of C and co-creator of UNIX dies and I have to learn about it through osdev.org five days later?
http://herbsutter.com/2011/10/12/dennis-ritchie/So this young upstart whippersnapper comes along and decides to try to specify a language that will let people write programs that are: (a) high-level, with structures and functions; (b) portable to just about any kind of hardware; and (c) efficient on that hardware so that they’re competitive with handcrafted nonportable custom assembler code on that hardware. A high-level, portable, efficient systems programming language.
How silly. Everyone knew it couldn’t be done.
C is a poster child for why it’s essential to keep those people who know a thing can’t be done from bothering the people who are doing it.
I think not. When everyone thinks of apple, they think Steve Jobs. Most people can pull out their iPhones and ask their children or friends who made it, and they more then likely will say Steve Jobs. Most wont realize how big a part Steve Wozniak played in the roll of starting Apple when he dies.Coty wrote:when the true creator of Apple (Steve Woz) goes
That's what he meant: that Dennis and the Woz will get the same, small amount of recognition, despite their achievements being equal to, if not better than Jobs'.GhostXoPCorp wrote:I think not.
