I have a tattoo on my arm of some (ostensibly) last recorded words of Evaristé Galois. A guy who did more for human progress than some whole nation states.
@cperceiva is in the k-equivalence class of people whose ability we lack the granularity to measure. He won the Putnam before making multiple unanticipated contributions to security in general and the security of FreeBSD in particular.
@pg has tagged him in particular as notable.
If he spends his time making information more durable in a probably secure way as opposed to folding proteins, I’m going to leave it to him to have decided between multiple highly compelling outlets for his genius.
In my observation he’s too humble to reply to the ankle-biting haters, but I have no such qualms: this guy is a fucking legend and if you disagree let’s have an argument.
