How an OS allocates memory is pretty important
- dathinab 3y agoLike I sayed important but uninteresting. Because this is not about changing how Linux allocates memory. It's about deprecating a method Linux used in the past but has by default switched away from already in the past.
- arp242 3y agoClearly people disagree that it's uninteresting. You don't need to personally like every story posted on HN. It's fine to skip the some of them. You can even hide them.
- dathinab 3y agoit's not weather its interesting for me or you but weather its interesting enough for HN readers to interact with it in the comment section ... and I was wondering how something which seemed to be not leading to much engagement at all ended up on the front page, I wasn't complaining or saying it's bad, just wondering
- JohnFen 3y ago> Like I sayed important but uninteresting Uninteresting to you. Interesting to me.
- astrange 3y agoThis detail of an in kernel allocator isn't very important or novel, but Linux changes are easy to report on since they're done in public, so they get articles.
