She worked at IBM in the 1960s and invented generalized dynamic instruction handling, a key advance used in out-of-order execution, used by most modern computer processors to improve performance. She initiated the Mead–Conway VLSI chip design revolution in very large scale integrated (VLSI) microchip design. That revolution spread rapidly through the research universities and computing industries during the 1980s, incubating an emerging electronic design automation industry, spawning the modern 'foundry' infrastructure for chip design and production, and triggering a rush of impactful high-tech startups in the 1980s and 1990s.[6][7][8][9][10]

IDK a 30 year old social reject autist trooning out is whatever.
But a guy doing it while having a wife and kids and shit is fucked up, you are ensuring they will be fucked up for life.
Also never heard of this guy or his accomplishments before, why is everyone making a big deal of this?

BTW where can one get a free pdf for the Horton's "Portable C Software"?
It is listed as historic C book, along with the K&R, but libgenesis doesn't have it.

Maybe it has never been scanned?

Feels sad when people dump some boring nintendo 64 prototype roms, but not the programming books.

Even the unix programming environment's scan is not a proper PDF
https://scis.uohyd.ac.in/~apcs/itw/UNIXProgrammingEnvironment.pdf

I.e. you can't copy paste code from it.

I'm not glad he's dead, but I'm glad he's gone.
