It was very sad to hear. I trust everyone here knows who Dennis Ritchie
was,
Just in case there is someone who doesn't know:
- Creator of the C programming language.
- Co-creator of the Unix operating system
- Co-author of "The C Programming Language" (ComputerReich's
greatest textbook)
Also sad to see, while Steve Jobs' death got front page treatment, the
mainstream press seems to have ignored the death of a man who arguably
had an exponentially greater impact on the computer industry than Mr. Jobs.

I fucking hate 'C'. Real men program in Pascal and assembler.

A good programmer can write FORTRAN in any language!

A friend of mine once told me that you get what you want. If he's a
standard nerd, Ritchie wanted the respect of his peers and a source of
income to support his hacking and he certainly got those. Steve Jobs
also got what he wanted, he got more talented people to do his bidding
and he got the respect of people who don't know any better.

"He truly grieves who grieves when none is there". Goes in the
"Praying in Public" basket.
I heard Jobs gave some of The Money to his illegitimate (human)
offspring.
That's the best I can do, and I had to make it up.
"Admire the works, not the man". Even there, ya gotta be picky! Such
is life.

Illegitimate...? Interesting that you hit that particular lob.
What's your take, that it's a surprise that a California Buddhist boy
from the 70's didn't get married before popping one into the oven? Or
that someone whose parents gave him away for adoption wasn't so big on
the whole marriage thing? Maybe that the concept of illegitimate,
that everso useful way of protecting the inheritable lineage, is still
a laudable label in the age of easy and cheap DNA testing? Something
else?

Let's not overreact to the fact that it often takes a newspaper
a couple of days to publish an obit.
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/14/technology/dennis-ritchie-programming-trailblazer-dies-at-70.html
Jobs was a well-known public figure and also known to be
very ill, so they had something in print (undoubtedly
prepared beforehand) right away.
Ilan, your insight (that both men got what they wanted)
was fine without adding meaningless potshots at Jobs.
Jobs made consumer products, Ritchie invented the
engines under the hood, it's no surprise Jobs was known
to more people.
Many people, and possibly especially academics,
underestimate the value of good project management
(which is sort of by definition getting other people to do
the work for you).

quite fundamental to Jobs' motivation. In particular, he wanted to
"change the world" but by 1985 most of the people he knew and
respected had everything he wanted to bring to the world, so it meant
changing things for people whom he didn't respect for their technical
skills. He did succeed in doing that and they are now accepting him as
the one who brought it to them, exactly how he wanted it to play out.
In that sense, it is is part of his legacy and not necessarily a
criticism just an observation.

Cult of personality. Pretty ironic in this case, and I never had to
work for him, either, so it's not "personal". Let's say I know the
general type (not rare in the world).
The "lob" was inspired by reading that he went out on a lying limb to
deny paternity, by claiming he was sterile. IOW, he committed perjury,
by report.
I don't know at what point on his path of accumulation of vast
personal wealth that occurred. "Reality Distortion Field", indeed.
And I did make it up; I read of some kind of "reconciliation" but I
have no idea if that is true or what form it might have taken.
Did he provide for his cast-off-spring? "Billions" should mean enough
left over to provide an aegis against the cold cruel world for an
innocent party.
I was only trying to find something nice to say, I promise!
