Will this work with Linux?

  Linux is a really bad operating system to use in this application. To do gas delivery safely and reliably you need to be using a Real-Time Operating System like QNX, VXWorks, OpenRTOS, etc..

    I think it was a joke about NVidia actively working to make their cards suck on Linux. Besides: You could, especially now with real time capability moving into being a standard kernel feature.

      When someone makes one of these cancerous ironic joke comments, responding in earnest is a good way to remind people of the culture here.

        To me the comment was neither cancerous nor ironic. We don't need to excise all humor from our discussions on HN. Humor itself isn't a problem -- though of course no joke appeals to all people.

          >We don't need to excise all humor from our discussions on HN. This isn't really relevant here, unless you are trying to create a strawman or frame this as a false dilemma of extremes. You can have a sense of humor while also keeping the conversation substantive. [Edit: Assuming solar is correct: ] Comments like the above are cancer when they inspire more of the same, and not long ago would have been appropriately dis-incentivized by the community. [And if solar turns out to be wrong, then replying in earnest is still a good response.]
