Ars TechnicaInventor of NTP protocol that keeps time on billions of devices dies at age 85
Dave Mills created NTP, the protocol that holds the temporal Internet together, in 1985.
Michael Vilain@arstechnica A few years ago, I read about Susan Sons on pre-Melon Husk Twitter after she posted about her taking over ntp development. The codebase was on, I think, Dave's server in his basement. She took over the project to bring it into the 21st century with modern build and verification. I gave her money for this. I hope she lays a flower on Dave's grave to thank him for this project.
