    Is it really about light vs. heavy though? I thought it was mostly about multiplexing notifications through a single app (usually through a single connection as well), so only one …

    Just for the record, in Russia, we write all identifiers in English and practically all comments in (sometimes broken) English as well. Russian comments seem heavily discouraged, b…

    Is this the solution for the infamous "foobar: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.33' not found (required by foobar)" problem?

    There's also "computed gotos". It's not the same as function pointers, though. https://eli.thegreenplace.net/2012/07/12/computed-goto-for-e... - article about them being used in CP…

    I wish it could optionally ignore the info boxes and navbars. They kinda feel like cheating.

    Maybe page cache (the thing tmpfs relies on) doesn't do full copy when reallocation, but rather, roughly speaking, appends extra pages to some sort of linked list? It would explain…

    You could put epoll fd in non-blocking mode, wrap it with os.NewFile, use SyscallConn() to get syscall.RawConn object, and then use its Read method. Its Read method is special: you…
