FYI: it's literally in the linked article from this HN post, maybe start reading that, not just the headline and then commenting...

FYI: I'm the author of the linked article, and I added a link to the image after it was posted here.

This has got to be one of the funniest exchanges I have ever seen on Hacker News.

Thanks for adding context, that wasn't clear at all to me, it seemed like the classical "Reads headline and then some comments, and post 'smart' stuff which the original article read anyway" response to me.

Sorry for the "accusation" then.

Now I'm confused and curious as to what the ‘library filing scheme’ means. Does it mean shared libraries? IIRC Unix stuff was statically-linked at first. And then again, what are ‘indexing’ and ‘data path switching’?
