Why is an advertising shill posting on a site that's purportedly for 'hacker news'?? Also, pro tip: if you're going to post sockpuppet astroturfing articles, make sure they aren't insipid vapid crap that sounds like it…
> Here's a valid explanation, which wasn't explicitly given, although it was hinted at: kernel threads take resources that become significant when you want a very large number of threads (say, one million). Untrue.…
No, not at all. Virtual memory isn't really memory at all, it's just an entry in a table which marks addresses as accessible to your process. It's up to the OS to decide whether or not these addresses correspond to…
I'm sorry, but this is the dumbest 'app' ever.
Python jumped the shark, time to find a better language.
There is no such language as "C/C++". In fact, when I interview programmers, saying that you program "C/C++" is an immediate red card and a thank-you-we-will-contact-you-later.
Heaven knows that having to act all politically-correct and tender-footed in the face of technical incompetence on the Internet, of all places, would drive me insance. I get enough of that icky stuff at work.
It has everything to do with the kernel. You've taken a piece of code that belongs in kernel-space and put it into a user-space process. There might be valid reasons to do so, but since I haven't seen any good…
Lemme see if I understood this right: you rewrote a large part of the kernel because you think your code will be better than code that's been tested by (literally!) billions of people over the course of 15 years? Not…
Implementing a paywall would be rather pointless, since that's a very bad way to monetize traffic. However, StackOverflow can make big money by cleverly partnering with corporations: instead of a site that answers "how…
There's no value in SO's database of questions and answers, they might as well give it away under whatever liberal license they want. The real business value of SO is the engaged ("community") web traffic it receives.…
Because to survive as a business SO needs to sell your sense of 'comunity' to a third-party resource. Not that there's anything wrong with that, just be aware that when you're participating on SO you're only a 'human…
Stackoverflow is not a community, it's a business, and their business is reselling that sense of community to third parties. I've no quarrel with Stackoverflow, it's a very nice site and a useful project. I do have a…
Barnum, that great scholar of suckers, said it better.
"...to the post-Microsoft era", you mean. And end of an epoch; goodbye, it was nice knowing you, though I can't say I particularly enjoyed it.
