Comment Open Source development is like cycling (Score 1) 334

Open source development is like cycling. The main project is peloton. Normally, everybody goes with the peloton. But sometimes escape groups formed, which is a kind of fork. Some escapes are very short-lived, some continues for a while and swallowed by the peloton through the end of the stage, and some succeeds by getting a stage win.

Sometimes, if you are too slow, you can't keep pace with the peloton and keep touch with them. You never have a chance to catch them alone and abandon the race.

Comment Memory Allocation (Score 1) 384

Good bye GlobalAlloc()! Good bye GlobalLock() and their local counterparts! By the way, heap management was damn hard in 16 bit Windows. You only had 8192 memory handles which you must share with other apps. It was a pain to develop applications for it.
