Like who? I can think of Brian Kernighan, Dennis Ritchie, Linux Torvalds, Steve Wozniak, Ada Lovelace, Grace Hopper, Richard Stallman, Edsger Dijkstra, Bill Gates, John Carmack. Maybe Alan Turing. With the exception of the real OG's I

I don't think anyone here means top 10 in a strict ranking sense of the phrase. But I think Carmack very easily has a place amongst the pantheon of programming gods, whether you measure by 'brilliance' (whatever that means) o

I remember he dropped Doom 3 on us with fully dynamic lighting and shadows in like fucking 2004 or something. I remember getting my hands on the engine leak (in 2003?) and absolutely getting my mind blown to see shadows dancing on the wall

What, because I say other people are free to express themselves politically? All I said dude was that I don't believe in it and that I think what they were doing is stupid. Other people can do what they want, even if its pointless. Bec

As someone targetted by the GOP's bullshit, I still don't care. Half-assed personal boycotts don't present the kind of numbers needed to effect change. Trump and his cohorts getting their asses locked up does. Burning everyth

It does. Not sure what that has to do with anything though.

I don't really believe in this whole stupid 'boycott them because they don't align with my values' bullshit, people should be free to express their political opinions however they see fit

The EU massively and hamfistedly overcorrected on its digital rights legislation. It is so laughably arrogant to think that one could assert control over all their data once it's in the public, particularly in an age of youtube-dl and

Regimes change, but information simply dies. Your perspective lacks long-term vision. This isn't about apologetics, it's about the preservation of useful information. I am still reeling over the loss of discussions on imdb, nowher

They are, but people acting selfishly as individuals is going to destroy a great common resource, and we will all be worse off for it. Truly a tragedy of the commons. "But I've been fishing this lake my whole life!" Yeah, you
