- chimeracoder 13y agoTo be honest, I don't remember much of a hullaballo when either Dennis Ritchie or John McCarthy died. There was a post or two on each event, but nothing like when Steve Jobs died (when literally the entire front page was posts about his death). (All three events were in October 2011 - Jobs, then Ritchie, then McCarthy)
