Jacob Ziv has died
RIP. I remember when I was a young guy learning programming, reading the source code of various DOS based LZ, LZH or LZW compression utilities and implementing myself a LZH algorithm thinking it will bring me great fame and fortune. Lempel, Ziv and Eugene Roshall were my heroes.<p>At that time many young programmers regarded compression, compiler writing and anti-virus writing as very important. Now people just learn React. :)
