<shameless plug> If anyone's interested in a full-featured transactional memory implementation for .NET, have a look: https://github.com/jbakic/Shielded ... It's more or less complete, feature-wise, and should be (ahem) bug free. </shameless plug>

Weird. This article was originally written by me on Russian IT-resource habrahabr, here: http://habrahabr.ru/post/221667/. I don't see any link to it. Guys from kukuruku leaves only url on github, which shows it is my work. I'm not a fan of copyright or something, no blame on them. I would not mind if they attach a url to original article though. I was going to translate the article but now I leave it.

I study STM/HTM for my university work now, and this article is some kind of overview of technology.

The second weird thing is that I compile an article from the English sources and translated them on Russian. Kukuruku folks translated them back to English, probably losing a bunch of meaning.

The Russian is terrible too, reads like Google translate. They left in the "silver bullet" idiom, which makes zero sense in Russian.

Russian translation is mine. I hear "серебряная пуля" (silver bullet) many times on Russian, so I don't think it makes zero sense. Many people have read Mythical Man-Month or at least knows what this idiom means.

Not cool at all if this is true. They gave you no obvious credit.

And this one that showed up recently: http://kukuruku.co/hub/cpp/lock-free-data-structures-basics-...

So that appears to be kukuruku's business model: Take articles from habrahabr, translate them (poorly) into English and publish them.

It's great that we get to see content that was previously only available in Russian, but I wish they would show more openly what they were doing. (I did actually wonder why their articles didn't have an author)

I went to the site and left a comment complaining about how they stole your article. They deleted the comment, and you still aren't credited. Does HN have a blacklist of sites that steal content or publish only blogspam? I think they should consider it.
