Also extremely stable.

By gods, the interactive one is great!

I didn’t know how much I needed the interactive version until now.

I just touched the white void to the right of the structure, and slowly saw all modern infrastructure collapse.

When I last talked to Richard he had company to work on SQLite. It was like four people.

SQLite is still deployed on everything, everywhere. You browser. Your phone. Macs. Half of Linux machine. Your airplane. It's super impressive.

Fatfs is also a big one iirc

Other major examples include cURL (Daniel Stenberg) and SQLite (D. Richard Hipp)

While those are the main developers neither is alone in maintaining their respective software.

Probably gonna get really bad once AI actors start combing the internet for exploits on a larger scale.

So a perfect open source name then.

Runk that hog, swedish boy.

Most likely is. Many open source projects have a joke as a name, often containing some form of innuendo or a double meaning. Helps in maintaining the free nature of the tool (corporations don't want anything to do with it) as well as lower expectations on professionalism. Plus it's funny, especially if it's an in-joke of a niche language.

On the topic of "runk", it's also been loaned from Swedish to Finnish as runkata, or to runk = to jerk off. The actual act of it would be runkkaus or runkkaaminen. Can also be encountered in the form runkkari, aka a wanker (I'd assume Swedish had a matching equivalent). So the joke works in Finnish as well.

Too bad all the tech billionaires profit from Ronald's work while he does it for free.

For the uninitiated: well, let's just say. jorkin it.

Came here to say this (no pun intended)

Christopher's Universal Request Library

Is this a real example? Or are we just talking about linux here

You sent me down the exact kind of weird rabbit hole I love. Genuinely thank you.

It's maintained by the IANA now (the same people who basically run the modern Internet, saying what domains are allowed and such for those who don't know). Though Arthur David Olson (the man you mentioned) still contributes his expertise and data.

You're probably thinking of Paul Eggert.

Edit: I was a bit quick to post. The article I linked says Arthur David Olson (mentioned in sibling comment) started the TZ database, with Paul Eggert extending it and maintaining it later. The 2011 lawsuit is also mentioned in the Wikipedia page I just linked.

Not to downplay dmr's importance here because he quite literally is the father of modern computing, but without him we'd just have something else and perhaps it would've been a bit later. A different systems programming language and a different operating system everything else is modeled after. High-level programming languages weren't a new concept when he wrote C. Before B they already had Fortran. Funny to call any of those High-level in 2026, but that's the whole importance of C, isn't it? It made writing complex systems easy compared to assembly languages or even fortran.

I'm not gonna bother doing a writeup about Jobs, we all here know he made precisely Jack shit.
