Imagine a world were concurrency is pegged to 1.
- dboreham 5y agoThat would be JavaScript.
- halfmatthalfcat 5y agoWebWorkers changed that in the browser. Could have always spawned child processes in Node or via utilities like PM2.
- furstenheim 5y agoExcept you can do different IO operations in the same user thread. Parallelizing calls without synchronicity problems
- tlhunter 5y agoYou might enjoy Multithreaded JavaScript ;)
- hnbad 5y agoNot really? On a language level, sure, but with native IO, web workers, shared memory and Node.js clusters, I don't think it's fair to say JavaScript has no concurrency.
- samus 5y agoJavascript APIs expose callback interfaces, and the callbacks are called on the thread that scheduled it. The real concurrency happens behind the scenes and is handled by the browser. So no, Javascript is not single-threaded in practice.
- akira2501 5y agoI don't think "move fast and break things" is a great example for healthcare products. We've used this product under emergency use guidelines, which allowed it to skip many steps, we should probably do those steps before we presume much more out of this platform.
- kadoban 5y agoAt least one mRNA vaccine now has full approval. No steps were skipped, they were just done in a more parallel manner than usual. The usual way is just cheaper, not more safe.
- tommymachine 5y agoSo there were long term human trials done like with actual vaccines?
- pertymcpert 5y agoWhat do you mean actual vaccines? As opposed to fake vaccines?
- tommymachine 5y agoSince you asked, the point could be more accurately stated as referring to vaccines meeting the pre 2020 definition of the term (which “mRNA vaccines” do not).
- robbedpeter 5y agoAs opposed to mrna vaccines which are significantly different than traditional vaccines. Which you knew, but for some reason, you want to deflect and prevent discussion of anything potentially negative about mrna vaccines? I'm not sure what the charitable interpretation could be.
- iratewizard 5y agoMachiavellian people co-opted the word vaccine because it has a generally positive connotation. They then retconned the word as if it has always included mRNA and viral vector therapeutics.
- glogla 5y agoAre you talking about the COVID vaccines that now have little over seven and half billion administered doses worldwide? Those are likely the most tested vaccines in history.
