Who are the geniuses of Computer Science?

I'm not talking meme-tier web dev programmers. Who are considered geniuses in the field of computer science?

>Who are the geniuses of Computer Science?
That would be me.

Linus Torvalds, Dennis Rtichie, John Carmack, Jim Clark. We have many, but I most admire is that most of them don't try to shine but actually work.

>Dennis Ritchie
Computer science would be nowhere without this one true god.

Who are you?

Autists, Communists, faggots pretending to be women, dykes pretending to be men...

The great hacker known as Sup Forums

Alan Turing, Dennis Ritchie, Ken Thompson, Esker Dijkstra, Brian Kernighan, Bjarne Stroutstrup, Richard Stallman, Linus Torvalds, Vinton Cerf, Robert Kahn... And so many more....

Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg

This

Dennis Ritchie Is the one and only God

those people should be beheaded

crypto guys and security experts

...

Matt Dillon

Terry Davis

zoey quinn
notch (minecraft)
Psuedolonewolf
john romero

First it was alan turing, then dennis ritchie, now in an era of CIA niggers that dont even build their own compilers, smelly hobo eating crust off his feet teaching pajeets how to use linux (that Sup Forums worships), false gods (linus torvalds), only one man is the true genius. He is the prophet of computer science.

How did she take the picture with both her hands on the keyboard?

People say Jeff Dean, though I cannot find any concrete reason on the internet. Just that
>Google wouldn't be where it is today if it weren't for him.

Pure brain power I'd choose Terry over Stallman.

TURING

With the power of coding.

any one with a turning award

they are good at torquing

Von Neumann

donald knuth

i wish i had his exact type of autism

The guy who programmed Rollercoaster with Assembly

cd.. picture/take

you're an idiot

Google Glass?

Vincent Cerf, Bob Kahn and the group that developed TCP/IP deserve mention.

Bill Jobs
and
Steve Gates

Go to stack overflow and sort users by points.

alternative, go to github and sort users by stars

...

\thread

Pic related has made the largest impact in CS in the 2010s.

Torvalds
DJB
Leslie Lamport
Theodore Tso

You are all faggots which probably have no idea about CS.

These are the heros of our modern world

Anyone who created a sorting algorithm, I guess.

Sup Forums loves to hate him, but he was behind
* One of the first successful 8-bit PCs.
* The computer that brought GUIs into the mainstream.
* The OS and dev tools that run all the Macs, iPhones, and iPads today. You can hate on Gay Cook and Apple all you want, but don't disrespect NeXTstep.
* iPods and iTunes.

He wasn't the engineer that Woz was, but was visionary and he did understand tech.

Funny, I recognized him from the Coursera Machine Learning course.

How do I get good at math Sup Forums

Edsger W. Dijkstra, for semaphores, Dijkstras algorithm and formal proof of computer programs

CAR "Tony" Hoare, for quicksort and formal proofs of computer programs

Leslie Lamport, for his work on distributed systems such as logical clocks

Van Jacobson, for congestion control in TCP and queuing theory

Harry Nyquist and Claude Shannon, for their sampling theorem and a bunch of other stuff in signal processing

Robert Metcalfe, for inventing Ethernet

Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn, for their work on early internet and standardization of IP and TCP.

Gilles Kahn for KPNs and understanding of distributed systems

John Postel for his work on network congestion and push for standardizations (RFCs).

Ole J. Dahl and Kristen Nygaard and Alan Kay for inventing object-oriented programming

Donald Knuth for basically laying the fundament for theoretical computer science

John McCarthy for Lisp and essentially inventing AI research

agree

Alan Kay

Maxwell, Shannon, Nyquist.

Whoever is working on AI and quantum shit is probably pretty clever

>The computer that brought GUIs into the mainstream.
GUIs were already mainstream among the non-poor before the Lisa and the Mac.

Alonzo Church, Moses Schönfinkel, Haskell Curry.

Linus Torvalds

Pick up a discrete math book and start there

Linustechtips
PewDiePie
Floens

Kek'd hard

Simon Allardice

This! Surprinsingly two posts mentioned him

>dreams in code
>wants to work for Apple

>not even a single mention of Andy Tanenbaum

rob pike & russ cox

>zsh

You forgot a few:

>Ken Thompson
>Rob Pike
>Richard Stallman

Checked. I took his graduate level AI course, too.

Steve Klabnik for making Rust inclusive.

and alan turing, alonzo church, kleene

It comes down to the subset of people who think about this stuff, for fun, because their demons drive them, for whatever reason.

Then take the subset of that with training, access and enough drive to complete things.

Then take the subset of that not restricted by patents and corporate secrets who can teach others their work.

Each filter reduces eligible parties by at least an order of magnitude

people who reverse engineer and analyze malware

Probably Richard Stallman, the most capable hacker, founder of free software. Powershell would dominate the world of programming if it wasn't for Stallman, and we all know what kind of hell that would be.

Richard Stallman is the most underrated programming hero.

RMS needs support, both in the form of active hackers behind GNU projects and discourse among open source evangelists who can help promote and refine the vision of open source.

We can't have RMS being the only untouchable, uncorrupted open source proponent. Otherwise, when he dies, FOSS might die with him.
