There are rumors that his death was self-inflicted, which is quite sad. Every time we see a young smart kid die like this, it should remind us to remember others as we go through our lives. Too often we ignore other peoples feelings, and then something like this happens. Take a moment to talk to the people you love to make sure something like this doesn't happen to them.
(If it turns out this is inaccurate, please excuse the speculation, but I still think this is important.)
- rdtsc 15y ago> Take a moment to talk to the people you love to make sure something like this doesn't happen to them. I think it makes it harder to do this for introverts, and there is a larger number of those in the tech community. Also, perhaps electronic communication is not always adequate for this. So take the time to meet and visit in person.
- dereg 15y agoSerious question, is "self-inflicted" a euphemism for "suicide"?
- nobody3141592 15y agoYes "self-inflicted" is a medical/legal term which includes suicide. In some jurisdiction there is a difference if "the balance of mind was disturbed" or if the coroner believed it was an attempted suicide (cry for help) that 'went wrong'
