Democracy is the recurrent suspicion that more than half of the people are right more than half of the time.
Nice way to put things, and a reminder to us all.

Dr. Brad J. Cox Ph.D. Obituary
legacy.com
Dr. Brad Cox, Ph.D of Manassas, Virginia, died on January 2, 2021 at his residence. Dr. Cox was a computer scientist known mostly for creating the Objective – C programming language with his business partner, Tom Love, and for his work in software engineering (specifically software reuse) and software componentry.
Objective-C completely changed my life trajectory. It was my first compiled language, and together with the ecosystem that Apple had built around it, was the first to really “click” with me, putting native, GUI applications within my reach. By the time I got fairly competent with it, the iPhone hit the scene and I was in the right place at the right time.
Thanks, Brad.
