Who the hell was Dennis Ritchie?
Dennis Ritchie, one of the great pioneers of computer science, passed away earlier this week. Although he wasn’t as well known to the general public as someone like Steve Jobs, his role in creating the C programming language and the UNIX operating system has had a profound impact on the way just about all computing is done.
RIP.

We've lost too many tech pioneers this year, make it stop.
