  2. yt 2019  Brian Kernighan interviews Ken Thompson. Tralasciare presentazione, iniziare visione 7:40. Dopo 30 anni di lavoro in stanze di fronte, andati in pensione, si rivedono in presenza per la prima volta dopo 20 anni. Il 1° argomento finisce 17:11 e forse e' il piu' divertente.

 

The UNIX-HATERS Handbook. wp

“Two of the most famous products of Berkeley are LSD and Unix.
I don’t think that is a coincidence.”

 

Unix was developed for a machine with little memory, tiny disks, no graphics, no networking, and no power. In those days it was mandatory to adopt an attitude that said:

  1. “Being small and simple is more important than being complete and correct.”
  2. “You only have to solve 90% of the problem.”
  3. “Everything is a stream of bytes.”

These attitudes are no longer appropriate for an operating system that hosts complex and important applications.
