  1. Brian #Kernighan. What a nice and funny guy. ๐Ÿ‘
    In "#UNIX - A History and a Memoir" he tells about the beginnings of one of the IMHO most influential technologies in tech history. We all use it, everyday. Even the Windows folks.
    And as a co-creator of the #C programming language he really has stories to tell. I might be a bit of a tech history nerd, but I could listen to him for hours.

  5. I saw this segment on YouTube, in which #Fridman interviewed #Kernighan about his #programming setup. For an instant, I was surprised to learn that Fridman hadn't heard of #UNIX \(\texttt{ed}\), but then I realised....

    In my view, a luminary like Kernighan, from a certain era, should be interviewed by someone who wouldn't be stunned when hearing once-common names like \(\texttt{ed}\) or \(\texttt{ex}\) or \(\texttt{dc}\) or \(\texttt{adb}\), but would smoothly inject a brief historical description thereof, and glide on with the main point of the interview. But that 1970s/1980s #geek generation avoids the YouTube selfie camera like the plague.

  10. Just realised I'm as old (at least to the year of release!) as the C programming language. So many memories of programming in it as an undergraduate at St Andrews.

  15. โ€œDebugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.โ€ โ€” Brian Kernighan

  20. Recent ships of the human space fleet are equipped with #DiffieHellman-Drives (which enable them to exchange their position with other, far away ships without allowing outsiders to intercept) and #FloydSteinberg shields (which diffuses all incoming attacks).
    Interstellar navigation was very easy after all ships computers were programmed with the #Bresenham-Algorithm.
    All crew members were trained in all details of the #Kernighan-#Ritchie protocol.

  25. I just discovered this great video where Brian tells the story of how the command came into existence. This story includes notable mentions of Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie.

    Viele nutzen den Befehl 'grep' tรคglich, wissen aber nicht, was er bedeutet und welches seine Ursprรผnge sind.
