- dang 7y agoOk, we've put a control character in the title above. (Submitted title was "It was Bill Joy's password, not Ken Thompson"... also a category error to compare a password to Ken.)
- tedunangst 7y agoI suppose you could construct a sentence like "it was bill joys password, not Ken Thompson, which unlocked the safe" in response to a (exaggerated) story about Ken picking a lock.
- papln 7y agoCould be simplified to "Bill Joy's password had a control character", since no one had announced a thought that Ken's password had one, so the misdirection is pointless distraction.

- js2 7y agoAh, a link to that tweet in the first place would've made a lot more sense.
