Dave Mills has passed on. He created the Network Time Protocol (NTP) in 1985 to synchronize time across different computer systems and networks. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/01/inventor-of-ntp-protocol-that-keeps-time-on-billions-of-devices-dies-at-age-85/
He also is the subject of this #XKCD comic (pictured). https://xkcd.com/2347/
