I noticed the black bar is up today and I don't see any death posts. Is there an easy way to see who this is honoring? It would be nice to have a feature that on hover said who it was or something of the like.

I believe it is for Thomas Kurtz, one of the two people who created the BASIC language.

My very first programming language was Liberty BASIC from a “for dummies” book. He’s had such a big influence on so many developers. Rip in peace
