The huge page article is sequitur with official documentation like https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_enterprise_.... THP can only issue up to 2MB pages on amd64 so it's not necessarily a silver bullet for large persistent consumers like a DB or GC language and worth knowing about the older methods.

To me they look like marketing posts, but they aren't void of effort or meaning as a quick intro to various topics.

> sequitur

I love the malapropisms on hn because it always reeks of "I'm trying so hard to sound smart" lol. FYI non-sequitur doesn't mean "non-sequential" it means "illogical" (and thus sequitur doesn't mean "in sequence"). Also both of words these are nouns not adjectives.
