Without mentorship / guidance, how are you supposed to know that K&R and / or Petzold (and maybe A. S. Tanenbaum?) are where it's at, and everything else is arguably a waste of your time? Almost every programming book I e

Is "paternal twins" a linguistic borrowing of some sort? It seems a relatively novel form of what I've mostly seen referred to as monozygotic / 'identical' twins. Searching for some kind of semi-canonical confi

1G huge pages had (have?) performance benefits on managed runtimes for certain scenarios (Both the JIT code cache and the GC space saw uplift on the SpecJ benchmarks if I recall correctly) If using relatively large quantities of memory 2M s

The system works for him. Moreover, I expect it likely works well enough for some people. Humans are a rather heterogeneous lot. Any system of universal applicability is going to be extremely limited in its ability to provide tactical insig

It seems like a growing number of things once referred to as Linux distributions are now referring to themselves as operating systems. If the kernel is Linux, and the user-space is GNU, what makes this a distinct operating system from, say,
