From http://www.lysator.liu.se/c/duffs-device.html:
"Somewhere I have a note from dmr [the R in K&R] certifying that all the compilers that he believes in accept it."
So at least at some point Duff showed Ritchie something in C that Ritchie hadn't seen or considered before, long after C had been invented.
Someone should make a reverse website that looks up humans and determines whether the Internet has wiped out humanity yet :)
Just take any random function from the kernel sources and ask yourself, what does it do. I think in most cases you'll find it's really obvious...
For me I find the kernel sources one of the most readable and understandable sources I've seen. The structure of them is just so clearly visible from the sources. I think a lot of that has to do with the coding style.
If you make something really secure and then you hide it really well, that's better than just making it really secure.
Just don't replace making it really secure by hiding it, is what that phrase says.
It's like moving an sshd away from port 22; doesn't make your sshd implementation magically more secure, but it immediatly gets rid of a mass of autmated naive ssh port scans. So you need a solid implementation still, but the obscuring part certainly helps.
And no matter how nicely that is sugarcoated, that's just what you are to those people.
