Regarding Thien-Thi Nguyen

Hello, please forgive any grammatical errors on my part for I am not an English native speaker. I found this thread regarding the death of ttn https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37457796

I am Thien-Thi's daughter, my dad was a very private person, so I found out about the thread only recently.

Since I can't leave a comment, I'm making a new thread to thank everyone for the kind words regarding his passing.

Oh my word. I did not see that earlier thread. I knew Thien-Thi when he lived and worked in Brno for a while around 2015. He was a fascinating man, and I very much enjoyed talking with him over a few beers several times. Very sad news indeed. My condolences to you and to the rest of his family.
