I actually come here for explanations like these from from experts and HN lurkers instead of reading the pop-internet article that comes up first on google.
I know what both a mutex and a spin lock are because I’m a developer myself but very much enjoy having my mind blown by someone on here who may have actually written the scheduler for Windows or Linux or be an expert of some sort.
- doublerebel 7y agoReal experts aren't waiting on the internet to be the first response to lazyweb: they publish blog posts, papers, books, and tomes of knowledge, which are peer-reviewed and revised. Experts who have something valuable to add will eventually speak up, without being asked. I guarantee that answers to such low-quality questions primarily get low-quality responses. It's the Tragedy of the Commons of discussion sites.
