- goodpoint 4y agoIndeed. The side describes TMO in bombastic terms, but this is just an incremental improvement to zram and swapping. Yet, a smarter algorithm to swap intelligently was long due.
- voz_ 4y agodid you even read this?
- _nhynes 4y agoI get that this comment might have struck a nerve with you, but the site guidelines specifically recommend not asking if the commenter read the article. > Please don't comment on whether someone read an article. "Did you even read the article? It mentions that" can be shortened to "The article mentions that." FWIW I don’t think that the parent comment is wrong, but rather over-generalizing. If you’re close to the project, I’d love to hear a proper rebuttal to what seems to be a common question.
- voz_ 4y agoThat's fair, I apologize. It struck a nerve because of how blase it was with dismissal, but I too am guilty of that at times, I suppose. Also, I am not close to the project at all - learned about it here.
- collegeburner 4y agoNo this is obviously something supposed to improve on virtual memory and paging to disk. It uses things like that but is supposed to work across a data center with a bunch of different stuff. Improvement for a specific case is not "reinvent".
