He also said that it all boiled down to just one hour of kernel development work.

Why is that even part of the image?

I wonder if Wodehouse ties together both types of heroes in Bertie and Jeeves! Though it's been decades since I read a Wodehouse book, I'm just uncontrollably laughing now just thinking about it! My grandfather had pretty much the whole collection.

Am I reading a Claude generated summary here?

Good point! I was look at it from a users pov. Let's say I have a BPF script for monitoring a set of processes - their disk, network and CPU with some filters on specific messages. Now can I use it in qnx or what's the equivalent? It can run in userspace for all I care.

Is there an eBPF equivalent for QNX? Also, with the real-time linux patch (which has been mainlined now), I'm able to run C++ ROS2 control loops @ 1ms down to even 250us on commodity off the shelf i3 and i5 hardware with dedicated cores.

I've worked on vxWorks, QNX and Linux and I found the pace of development using Linux the fastest.

This is about 25 yrs. back. As a grad student, I used to stumble into his papers pretty regularly. Later, I'd scan for author name and pay a lot more attention if it was by Arvind (also a few others). I'd always smile after looking at the author name. Growing up in India, your last name doesn't mean much.

I guess everything was "remote". My dad had to mail his code (punch cards) from (IIT) Madras to (IISc) Bangalore. He did say it was a pain though.

* Madras, now Chennai was probably an overnight drive in the late 60s.

Cost of policing is close to or possibly the highest expense for any city. That did not put security guards out of business.

There is some credence to the "make your own or shut up" argument here on HN.

If we reconsider your "criticize a restaurant" analogy, we are not random folks walking into a restaurant. We are professional chefs criticizing the output of other professional chefs.

In that context, "go start your own restaurant" does actually make sense.

Nice article! FTA: "One for one indicates that if a child crashes it, it and only it should be considered when restarting." What is "it" in this context?

When Linus says, "let's give it one last round of testing", what happens?

Well that's a great reason for ycombinator's existence! Acquisitions are a great way for established players to "develop" products.
