What the fuck? Really. The title of this paper has nothing to do with a causal link. Posted by a a "neurosurgical anesthesiologist". SMFH. You people are fucking retards. This site…

It's visually a nice collection. As a documentary it is pretty inaccurate in a number of key areas. The BBS Documentary has a very nice and accurate treatment (interviews with actu…

Ah you edited your response? An HMODULE.. That is weak dude. Calling and HMODULE a HANDLE is cheating... by that definition a UINT is a HANDLE since you can cast it. Can you use HM…

what are you on about? I just gave you the specific examples: timerfd, eventfd, signalfd, inotify... these are all epollable fds in Linux? Futex is a special case because futexes t…

You are confused. File descriptors on linux represent "many different types." They are not just for "disk files". Please see signalfd, timerfd, eventfd, inotify, let alone sockets …

epoll was a problem child API on linux, with a number of missteps early on. It's much better now. It does everything WFMO does and more. What disjoint APIs are you talking about? Y…

Having written a fair share of deeply embedded assembly.. if you're used to writing this close to the metal on a small system, that may have actually have been the most straight-fo…

People use systemd because it solves real problems that are not adequately solved by init scripts. Your "want for nothing" says more about your limited needs (which is fine) than a…

> YMMV, but as far as I know that's more or less a solved problem by default (for X anyway) with DRI3. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA_Optimus LOL. What a bunch of crap…
