There aren't much relationship to OS concepts. The lock question can be arguably related but it's more for concurrency. They are pretty light weight questions.
OS questions would involve process/thread/fiber, scheduling, priority, multitasking, memory management, virtual memory, IPC, deadlock, distributed deadlock, interrupt/signal, input system, output system, GUI system, file system, disk system, IO caching, driver model, kernel space and user space, privilege and non-privilege operation, security model, user/process permission and privilege, file permission, authentication, authorization, etc.
- cperciva 14y agoI was aiming for questions relevant to general-purpose developers, not questions relevant to operating system developers -- and a small number of questions at that. I covered locking, race conditions, virtual memory, and processes; I think those are much more relevant to most developers than knowing the internals of how filesystems work or how interrupts are routed.
