It is multiprocessing, but not fair sharing. I like to call it single-process multiple thread. There is no difference between "task", "Process" or "thread". It is single address map. Paging in not used, basically.

I don't think many people today realise how profoundly this can affect an OS (despite the many challenges). AmigaOS was the same, and it allowed a lot of hacks that are much more challenging to replicate in efficient ways on more modern OSs.

I think an admin has to approve his comments because he has been shadowbanned.

In the past he made racist and homophobic remarks and got shadowbanned. His mental illness is hard to understand at times. The same thing happened to him on Reddit. He has to use multiple accounts to get around the shadowbans.

I think he is like Brandon Eich who donated to the wrong charity, made good contributions and solid programming work, but holds opinions that are not socially acceptable.

I'd take HolyC over Javascript any day.

The admins said a few months ago that they would add the possibility for high-karma users to unban select post of shadow banned accounts.

It might have landed (either in closed beta or I don't have enough karma to do it). Or maybe it was simply revived by an admin...
