Ironic that Woz has a stroke and one of the first comments is an unrelated comment about Steve Jobs.

No one knows for, but I’m pretty sure that isn’t irony.

Jobs had a stroke too… a stroke of good luck, when he met Woz

Woz was lucky to meet Jobs, too

Why? Woz was happy working for HP and would have had a great career and still would have built computers. He might not have ended up super rich, but I am guessing that doesn't really matter to him.

Would have been interesting if HP had produced the Apple II and ushered in the personal computing era.

But if HP had been interested in doing so, then Woz might have stayed there to begin with.

How is that ironic?

Not ironic, maybe inappropriate, especially if his health is rapidly declining.

Since I believe, and really want to believe, he's got a lot of good years ahead of him, I'm glad to see people speaking freely.

It's crazier that Dennis Richie passed right around the same time as Jobs, and didn't get any of the fanfare, despite having far more meaningful contributions to the field (to say the least), while being a humble, decent, human being.

Even being in tech I only somewhat know about him. Jobs was a larger than life figure that average people knew.

The age gap explains a lot of difference for me. I expected it with Douglas Adams. They should make a big deal about it when someone passes at such a young age. (And 70 is also young)

However, it was still too much. If Jobs' passing got 100x the attention, maybe it should have only been 10x.

Oddly, John McCarthy died within the same few days too, if I recall correctly.
