I cannot at this point remember how many times I've implemented Conway's Game of Life, it's what I've generally done after writing "Hello World" in a language I've not used before. The first time was in FORTRAN IV.
The link above was five written years ago but I'm sure it's better than any obituary.

When you design tactics to maximise suffering on civilian populations and your only constraint is operational rather than moral, you've told the world who you are.

Nineteen seventy one, just after his paper came out describing the problem and the rules, I coded a version in machine code on a Stantec Zebra, a then twenty year old valve computer. My last attempt was on the Archimedes in its superb assembler.
He was personally responsible for more “wasted coding and machine time than anyone I can think of, may he rest in peace.

Coding may be. Time, you're forgetting SETI.

About that, the total memory was only four kB.
BTW, Seti@home has gone into hibernation ?through lack of results? As a consequence there’s an awful lot of serious processing power migrated within Boinc to useful projects such as cancer and COVID research.
