Not knowing is normal.
Not learning is bad.
If I don't know what RTOS is, my first reflex is to try and learn it on my own. Only if I fail this I will try to make others to give me an answer. I don't like wasting their time and making them provide the same reply for the thousandth time looks pretty wasteful to me.
In this case, looking up RTOS in Google is as simple as it gets. People who ask what it is do so because they didn't try to learn this by themselves.
I'm not exactly a fan of such people. I accept that they have different beliefs than me, and I try my best to be tolerant, but a sense of discomfort when dealing with people like that never leaves me. Is it arrogance too, I wonder?
- sametmax 9y agoIf you are in a thread about a specific topic, likely filled with people knowing what they are talking about, asking there is only natural. It's quick, prevent you from learning the wrong information by looking it up wrong, filter the essential... And last but not least, the answer will be added to the thread, allowing the next readers to find it in the right context, including search engine bots. This is as close as it gets to a win-win.
- klibertp 9y ago> If you are in a thread about a specific topic, likely filled with people knowing what they are talking about, asking there is only natural. Sure. But, is it also natural and a win-win situation if your exact question is answered multiple times upthread? Shouldn't you use your browser's search function to see if it's not answered already before posting the question?
- sametmax 9y agoYeah that's fair.
