It took a lot of reading of that blogpost before I realized that it was about an operating system. I seriously thought it was about some parallel threading standard. Especially for a broad announcement like that, they should give readers some more context.
- sigzero 3y agoWhat? It's in the first paragraph of the linked announcement. Unless you didn't know what RTOS was an acronym for but that is a simple google request.
- dylan604 3y agoIt's also accepted publishing standards to expand an acronym the first time it is used. Of course, kids today don't know what standards are because a boomer made them or some such nonsense excuse for just I do what I want
- stonogo 3y agoThe first two uses of the term are part of product names, not uses of the term itself. They almost immediately explain the acronym in the next paragraph, and give alert readers a tremendous hint in the very first sentence. I think they did a perfectly acceptable job of providing context here. This publication was literally founded by a boomer, so I don't think your conclusory whining is particularly well-targeted.
- uxp8u61q 3y agoIf you don't know what an RTOS is, then what makes you think you're in the target audience for this article?
- lproven 3y agoAFAICT these comments are from a merged submission of a different link. If I may say so, @dang, that's a bad idea: if it is same URL then merge it, but if it's different coverage then don't. IMHO. Anyway, I wrote this version and I did explain what an RTOS is. I think the other submission used to link to the Eclipse announcement, and they didn't. (A bad sign.)
