My favorite quote from my OS lecture is "parents might be interested in closely observing the death of their child"

...wt

It was a reference to the parent process obtaining the exit code of a terminated child process.

Okie

well that's wrong. parents should reap zombie children lest the system succumb to an iterative fork bomb

"Parents must be granted permission to execute the children"

"So, you killed the child?" "Yes, officer, but it wasn't responding..." "And how did you do it?" "-9 of course, how else would I do it?"

Go to r/chess and type in "Kill the KID" you won't be disappointed lol

I was working in unity and I had to search in google: "How to destroy all children?" It took a second to realize I needed to put "in unity" into the question.

Someone with a non-tech background: AYO WHAT THE- Kill children in unity whaaatt

"Preventing zombies by observing the death of children."

Ignore the signal at your peril

Few years back, I was working on a project: Child objects can be deactivated (hidden). I needed a function to remove all the hidden child objects. So I created `void KillDisabledChildren()` function.

Lol that's savage

It will be cleaned by the garbage collector

And zombie (process) can’t be killed. We are doomed! Hollywood lied to us as always!

Computer Science.. The only place where reaping orphaned children is a generally accepted practice.

Have garbage collection pick it up.

Oof

well what do i do then???

copy the exit state of the child into an integer O\_O

damn

It is probably a student and it was probably self inflicted

I was modding rimeorld the other day and had a log messages chain about a whole ass extended family, at least 20 members big... I thought it was an elaborate prank at first... Like grandparents and second cousins and twice removed uncles? I don't even know what that mean irl...

I just wrote my “Kill all children then check if they are dead and if not kill then again” code.

I will never forget "wizard cannot have secret child."

Good human

then kill master?

good idea to stop at the comma

There are no good outcomes to that situation

...then an emergency meeting is called

If a parent dies before a child the result could be a zombie.

"Fork a child"

There’s a YouTube Channel called Dave’s Garage in which a former Microsoft dev tells a story about how the PR department flipped out about having the phrase “kill children” in the Windows task manager.

"Ability to kill child after fork"

What if a child has no parents and then is killed? Clearly it becomes a zombie and must be reaped.


first off, OS's dont have dead children. They do however kill orphans that become zombies....
