I can still see it and play it. I thought it was a hoax so had to double check

Rome was not built in a day, but grep was (sort of) 😎

The origin story behind the creation of grep utility is fascinating.

The co-creator of the UNIX operating system, Ken Thompson, developed grep 'overnight'.

Actually, he had a personal tool for searching for text in files.

His department head Doug McIlroy came to him and said, "You know it would be really great if we could look for things in files".

"I'll think about it overnight", said Thompson.

He went back home and modified the code in his tool to fix bugs. Took him an hour at most.

The next day, he presented it to McIlroy and he exclaimed,

"This is exactly what I wanted"

And the rest is history.

If you are wondering why the utility is called grep and not search, there is perfectly good logic behind it 👇

POWER OUTAGE: Dominion Power is working to isolate this issue and T&ES crews are deploying generators to traffic signals that are out. As this is a wide-spread issue, some signals may still not have power. Use caution when proceeding through traffic signals.

2) "By the mid 1990s, Karikó’s bosses at UPenn had run out of patience. Frustrated with the lack of funding she was generating for her research, they offered the scientist a bleak choice: leave or be demoted. It was a demeaning prospect for someone who had once been on the path to a full professorship. For Karikó’s dreams of using mRNA to create new vaccines and drugs for many chronic illnesses, it seemed to be the end of the road."

...Where is that damn apology @Penn????

📍UPENN needs to apologize to #NobelPrize2023 winner Dr. Kariko: "UPenn told me that they’d had a meeting and concluded that I was not of faculty quality. When I told them I was leaving, they laughed at me and said, ‘BioNTech doesn’t even have a website.’”

@Penn -- apologize!
