did you know: my operating systems shelf has a position reserved for my favourite influencer's book

@lkundrak

@pony that one is not too good actually

@lkundrak
It probably won't fit there :(
It'd be very thick.

@lkundrak Not this fucking guy?

@hyeyoo 🎶 you wise men don't know
how it feels 🎶
to be thick 🎶
🎶 as a brick

"Linux MM in a nutshell"

@lkundrak
oh that sounds a bit sexually provocative

@hyeyoo jokes aside, operating systems book worry me.

there's tanenbaum, 500-ish pages explaining operating systems stuff relevant up to 90's, including operation of common hardware devices, algorithms. full minix (v7 unix-like) kernel source included.

then there's lions. description of v7 unix kernel (~10k lines) essentially file by file, procedure by procedure, line by line. included description of pdp-11 architecture and c language. essentially a booklet. the only certified meshuggah part is line disciplines.
...

@hyeyoo then there's the
4.3BSD book. filesystem got smarter, more optimized, complicated. virtual memory, networks. various bsd nonsense -- ptys, sockets, job control, process groups. things clearly starting to go south 400-ish, manageable.

but now dude writes a book about what essentially is details behind malloc() and it's larger than any two of these combined! meanwhile, brain just shrinks! send help!

@hyeyoo how old are we sir!

@lkundrak

be careful, your brain is being reclaimed by reading it

@hyeyoo it's an opposable brain sir

@hyeyoo also, wait for all the dirty talk in @ljs ' book

@lkundrak @hyeyoo pair of dirty folios

@hyeyoo @lkundrak like its author!

@lkundrak @hyeyoo I wonder if this is a harsh joke, or if @vbabka is unaware what “thick” means when applied to a person.
At least nobody wrote the book was going to be as thick as two short planks…

@ptesarik @lkundrak @hyeyoo @vbabka *thicc

@ptesarik @lkundrak @hyeyoo me, harsh to Lorenzo? Inconcievable!
I believe the book will be thicker than two short planks, though.

@vbabka @lkundrak @hyeyoo Yes, just like its author.
