That link doesn't work for me. Besides, I've heard that it's better not 
to click through a link as HN either rates it lower or flags it as spam.

Not sure though, I'm just contributing to cargo cult... :)

Strange because its the same link that was used in the reddit 
topic. Its just Belgium Youtube link ( owned by Google in the 
whois, so fairly sure its official :) ).

That worked. Thanks. I recommend others not to click on the link but 
search for "competitive advantage with d" on the main page instead:

Posting direct HN links in any forum is a sure way to have the entry 
classified as spam (HN uses an algorithm that flags as spam many 
accesses that do not have their own site as referrer). -- Andrei

*uch* What a strange system they use. Good to know for the 
future. Delete my posts above with the link, so the link is 
removed. That will solve the issue of people going directly to 
the article.

Indeed, there is no special thread.

I'd say for the more relaxed reddit audience it can be put like 
this: the GC isn't "running" at all. Not persistently, not at all 
times, not in any special thread. It is not actively scanning 
anything. Any allocation on GC heap made by *any* thread *may* 
cause a collection, which is performed there and then in the same 
thread that triggered said allocation, and is observed as part of 
that allocation. All registered threads except the one that 
triggered the allocation (and thus, collection) are paused for 
scanning and resumed afterwards. Threads not registered with the 
runtime or those that were explicitly detached from the runtime 
are expected to not hold any pointers to the GC heap, and are 
neither paused nor scanned.
