Everything "has been done before" in computing. The difference is a matter of degree and attention to detail.
And your comment about it having been a thing on mainframes underscores my point.
The server story for Linux is evolving (and maturing) greatly, and very quickly. The Linux of today is not at all like the Linux from 2010. To say that Linux is stuck in some sort of legacy UNIX quagmire is just silly.
- pjmlp 6y agoSo what ideas are actually new, introduced by Linux crowd, instead of copied from either older UNIXes or mainframes?
- jzwinck 6y agoHow about recvmmsg? I never saw that before Linux, and haven't been able to find a reference to anything similar on say AIX or Solaris.
- pjmlp 6y agoReally? https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/recvmsg.html https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/re...
- jzwinck 6y agoYes really. I wrote recvmmsg. You linked to recvmsg. They are not the same thing.

- nix23 6y agoI never have seen a Bitrot resistant filesystem on Linux before NILFS.
- otabdeveloper4 6y agoDid you read my comment? There are no "new" ideas in computing. Everything has already been invented in the 1960's. It's the finesse of execution that matters, not ideas.
- pjmlp 6y agoI did and you are wrong, there are plenty of ideas to bring to the market, when one doesn't constrain themselves to copy mainframes and big iron UNIXes, and catching up with whatever Apple, Google and Microsoft do on UI/UX.
- nix23 6y ago>It's the finesse of execution that matters, not ideas. That's a crime to say "finesse" and "systemd" in the same discussion.
