Happy 83rd Birthday to Ken Thompson! 🎂
A true computing legend and co-creator of UNIX, B, and Go—technologies that shaped the modern software world and still power the bulk of today’s infrastructure. 💻️🔥
While cleaning a storage room, our staff found this tape containing #UNIX v4 from Bell Labs, circa 1973
Apparently no other complete copies are known to exist: gunkies.org/wiki/UNIX_Fourth_E…
We have arranged to deliver it to the Computer History Museum
🎂 Unix was born on November 3, 1971.
Massive respect to legends Ken Thompson & Dennis Ritchie; the world runs on their vision. 💻✨
When Ken Thompson taught Unix at Berkeley, BSD was born. 🐧💻
Remembering a legend! 🙌
His contributions shaped the foundations of modern computing and inspired generations of developers. 🖥️❤️

Thanks Brodie, I love this video! From the good old times a few years into working at #Canonical. #CUPS already used by every distro for several years, but not all apps sent jobs in PDF format yet, several, like OpenOffice (predecessor of #LibreOffice) still sent PostScript, standard of old #Unix times. And printers still needed drivers and some manufacturers made (usually closed-source) ones, and everyone with an integration more awkward than the other ...
Happy Tuesday!
As 2024 marks the resurgence of RSS and Atom, I decided to update my rudimentary RSS tools from 2007 to make them contemporary and works under Python 3. The release v1.0 marks this step and allow everyone to use and improve the RSS toolset.
