- TehDoctor, on 11/13/2008, -1/+43IBM Linux article == dugg
- sigmaman2, on 11/14/2008, -0/+14As a fellow digg user that spends time regularly both in front of a computer, and on top of my wife, I found this article very interesting. I may never have a need for the info in the article, but I did learn about the different process states, and why the new one is needed. I don't scoff at new knowledge.
- nezticle, on 11/14/2008, -0/+10wtf, Digg would be more respectable if there were more stories like this on the homepage
- weizbox, on 11/14/2008, -6/+13From the list of people that have dugg this, and some of their previous comments on digg.. I doubt half the people that dugg this article know what to do with this info.... and for the ones who do, you guys knew about this more than a month ago :)
- TehDoctor, on 11/14/2008, -0/+6Can we please stop it with the stereotype? I've never once turned down sex because I wanted to do something on my computer, and the only people I know who may have are WoW players. Most of the Linux users I know are married (ok, maybe that means they don't have sex now, but they probably did at some point and has nothing to do with Linux).
It's really ***** how an awkward, loud minority of 15 year olds who want to be l33t make normal Linux users and engineers, who did spend time on digg in the old days and would appreciate this article, compartmentalized in with them. Linux users are not all hopeless nerds. A lot of us are normal people who have relationships and are capable of conversing about topics other than computing. So shut the ***** up about it.
I realize I wrote a TL;DR comment in response to a troll, but at least it felt cathartic. - KibibyteBrain, on 11/14/2008, -0/+6Oh yes, because we know only leading PhDs in Computer Science could even begin to fathom process states in Linux. I'll admit this is old news, but so is tons of stuff on digg/slashdot. But to say that "if you have to ask, you will never know" about such a thing is wrong to me. If anything, I tend to hope some of those people may have found the article interested and looked into what process states were and what they were used for. That's what so great about the internet, you don't have to be in a 300 level CS class and cover the topic to be inspired about even fairly advanced or esoteric topics.
- CalcProgrammer1, on 11/14/2008, -0/+6TASK_IMMORTAL?
Good processes never die. - Zomgondo, on 11/14/2008, -0/+5Dugg for being something I acutually need... now I just need to hack pppd to use it!
- TehDoctor, on 11/14/2008, -0/+4Yep. I suppose you pine for the days when digg was only for the other half of this crowd.
- EricAnderton, on 11/14/2008, -0/+4TASK_KILLABLE_WITH_FIRE
Useful for misbehaving daemons. - Zaggynl, on 11/14/2008, -0/+3Dugg for IBM Linux tech story!
- diecastbeatdown, on 11/14/2008, -0/+3so they are the same thing? i think this is a false statement.
- srg13, on 11/15/2008, -0/+3How about
if(article.type == "IBM Linux article") { article.digg(); } - lenninct, on 11/14/2008, -0/+2Geek Inside. (TM)
- toasterweasel, on 11/14/2008, -0/+2Come to reddit. While I still browse digg from time to time, reddit is my home and the discussion there is much better.
- czarr, on 11/14/2008, -0/+1"the easy-to-awaken but safer TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE." If only it was less safe we would have had a good alternative already!
- skyshock1, on 11/14/2008, -0/+1Yeah, I mean look at me. Even I dugg it, and my icon is the shocker.
- TehDoctor, on 11/14/2008, -0/+1toasterweasel: yeah, I mostly stick around reddit when I want something interesting. I basically only come to digg anymore because of loyalty and the occasional article reddit doesn't pick up.
- cplusplus, on 11/17/2008, -0/+1Adding a new task state is a big deal.
- ethana2, on 11/14/2008, -0/+1Does he have a name?
- srg13, on 11/16/2008, -0/+1Yeah, probably should have used strcmp or a STL string.
- Giga, on 11/15/2008, -1/+1If you overload the == operator in C++ it could potentially be true.
- Carpex, on 11/14/2008, -2/+2ans =
0 - OpenDiscussion, on 11/14/2008, -1/+0"TASK_KILLABLE is the outcome of an issue raised in 2002 about the OpenAFS file system driver waiting for an event interruptibly after blocking all signals."
TASK_KILLABLE, and only 5 years too late! - 30Seconds, on 11/14/2008, -3/+2Such crappy linux articles make the front page, for example: http://digg.com/linux_unix/KDE_4_1_Better_Than_Any ...
- MrSelfDestruct, on 11/14/2008, -2/+0Only one wife huh, sigmaman2. I guess you lose after all.
- Carpex, on 11/14/2008, -10/+4Wow, I love Linux, but this has to be the geekiest story to hit the home page in a long time.
- Godlike, on 11/14/2008, -7/+1Digg was a science news website, not a linux fagfest.
- inactive, on 11/14/2008, -8/+1what about TASK_UNKILLABLE?
