I have read a tweet: "the way Apple’s DTrace port controls processes is absurdly gross ....
". How can I understand "absurdly gross
" in this sentence?
I would interpret that to mean the author finds the way Apple's DTrace port controls processes is ugly (hackish, kludgy, slap-dash, slipshod, careless, etc)
absurdly in the sense of comical or laughable
gross meaning disgusting or horrible
I would also note that DTrace originated on Solaris so it isn't very surprising that porintg it to Mac OS X wasn't trivial (or clean).
