Sorry to hear today of the death of longtime hard SF author Jerry Pournelle. While he was distinctly to the right of me politically, his popular technology writing was often fascinating, and a lot of his fiction (in particular his collaborations with Larry Niven, such as The Mote in God’s Eye and Inferno) were excellent reads that I still circle back to.
Thank you, sir, for many, many hours of reading entertainment.

Dont forget his column in the long defunct Byte RIP
+Dekks Herton I included that in his "popular technology writing".
Sad day.
2017, you suck.
Chaos Manor will never be the same.
Dammit, 2017.
On the one hand, we won't get any more stories from him. On the other hand, he had a long and successful career. On the gripping hand, this just bites.
