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 …

> 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 t…

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…

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 enoug…

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 part…

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 si…

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.
