I'm genuinely curious, why is this being posted to HN? This seems like something any good systems programmer (i.e. C on UNIX) would know and I'm sure there are plenty of people like that on StackExchange.
- michaelhoffman 13y agoBecause there are a lot of people on Hacker News who aren't good systems programmers. I imagine most StackExchange posts here are because people might be interested in the answers rather than know them already.
- guerrilla 13y agoI'm not against it per se, I just thought that's what StackExhange was for. I like the idea that it might have helped contribute a better answer, but I just thought it was really odd to see on HN when I already get alerts from SE on things I may be interested in.
