Dennis Ritchie created C in the early 1970s without Google, Stack Overflow, GitHub, or any AI ( Claude, Cursor, Codex) assistant.
- No VC funding.
- No viral launch.
- No TED talk.
- Just two engineers at Bell Labs. A terminal. And a problem to solve.
He built a language that fit in kilobytes.
50 years later, it runs everything.
Linux kernel. Windows. macOS.
Every iPhone. Every Android.
NASA’s deep space probes.
The International Space Station.
> Python borrowed from it.
> Java borrowed from it.
> JavaScript borrowed from it.
If you have ever written a single line of code in any language, you did it in Dennis Ritchie’s shadow.
He died in 2011.
The same week as Steve Jobs.
Jobs got the front pages.
Ritchie got silence.
This Legend deserves to be celebrated.
Finally a little common sense. There never should have been a trial. He should be commended for selfless actions to protect the other passengers and those who brought charges should be out of a job.
Most insane/amazing driving I've seen in my life.
2020, Sweden - Gothenburg.
”The time had passed 9 PM on May 6, 2020. During a speed check in Gothenburg, a dark blue Opel station wagon sped by. The driver refused to stop, and several police patrols gave chase.
Little did the officers know that their efforts that evening would be witnessed and commented on by millions of people on social media four years later.
In the video, filmed from the police helicopter, it is seen how the driver repeatedly evades capture.
Police: "Drove at maximum possible speed."
"In my 14 years as a police officer, this is the longest and most reckless car chase I've been involved in," wrote one of the participating officers in a report after the incident.
"The perpetrator takes great risks and drives his vehicle at the highest possible speed in every traffic situation," wrote another.
"It was a complete tunnel vision, I don't remember much," said the driver during questioning.
Arrested at ICA Maxi in Kungälv
The chase went through central Gothenburg, and the film shows how the driver and the following police passed Linné, Gamla Ullevi, and Polhemsplatsen. The car chase then continued north on the E6. Along the way, he rolled down the car's window and threw out a gun.
After a 35-minute car chase, the perpetrator was arrested at ICA Maxi in Kungälv.
The chase reached speeds of up to 200 kilometers per hour, but often much slower. When the police finally stopped the car, it had a flat tire, and a blood test showed that the driver had tramadol in his system.
The driver did not have a driver's license and was later sentenced to three years in prison for, among other things, gross negligence in traffic, serious weapons offenses, and aggravated drunk driving.”
The Democrats spent around 200 million to beat Lindsay Graham and Mitch McConnell and lost BIG TIME
Where did they get all that money ? From the Black Lives Matter Donations ?

Technically, @realdonaldtrump has TWO wars during his presidency:
War on Truth - launched against the MSM in 2016 and continues today.
War on Corruption - launched against the Deep State in 2016 and continues today.
Donald Trump is and has always been a living indictment of the people who run this country. That was true four years ago when Trump came out of nowhere to win the presidency and it's every bit as true right now. Our ruling class is disgusting.
