Sounds like you're annoyed with these folks for discovering something new (to them) and being excited about it in public. What exactly bothers you about that?

    If common lisp were obscure and not something that was very common knowledge you would have a point. I had never heard of this ability that he brought out in the open, because of having this posted on HN I now learned something new today, something I can take with me and teach others or use in my daily job. That in and of itself is fantastic and exactly why I like posts such as the one he made.

    Let me make sure I'm understanding you correctly: You're saying that the Linux kernel's ability to easily run arbitrary code when a core dump occurs is fundamental knowledge that all reasonably experienced C programmers (and most HN readers) possess?
