Seems common for documentaries about nature. A few seconds of good footage surrounded by minutes of filler and clickbait.

Surely there is one: gravity and water tension work the same for both.

If the whole program terminates, the purity of the function is still intact, the computer just can't compute it :D

Economies of scale still work with small companies that specialize.

"AWS is expensive" is a thought-terminating cliche as well.

Other customers bear most of the cost of merchants raising prices because of the 3% fee, not you.

It's certainly a problem with the phish sim if you're trying to teach people not to open random links and instead you're teaching people not to open phish sim emails. It fact, it can be actively harmful if it creates a false

> In other words, if async/await is so good, why not make all functions in the language implicitly async, and instead of "await" just write normal function calls? IIRC withoutboats said in one of the posts that the true an

`spawn_blocking` is a single function and it is not complicated, it shouldn't be too hard for other runtimes to do the same. The end application does have to choose a runtime anyway and will have to stick with it because this area isn&

And of course most libraries don't even need IO because the application can do it for them, so it only makes sense for them to be async if they're computationally heavy enough to cause problems for the runtime.

> Since nearly everything you might want to do in Rust probably involves IO with very few exceptions that means for the most part you should probably ignore non-async libraries regardless of whether the rest of your application wants it

Instead of porting to static .NET pages + progressively enhanced Vue, keep vitepress for static pages and replace dynamic parts with progressively enhanced Vue?
441.
by Kinrany 3y ago
Wouldn't it be faster to do the same but keep vitepress?

Oh no, turns out the thing people really want from AIs is generality because everything else can be done in stupid software!

Massive IT failures like this are even worse for attracting franchisees though. People won't stop buying burgers today out of fear that they'll have to buy burgers elsewhere tomorrow.

They don't _have_ to but they'll make more money and their share of additional income will be close to 100%.

Here's the first thing I saw in my room right now: a book about drawing. From it, I learned a simple method of making my art easier to parse visually. I paid for a physical copy of an explanation of the method; now I'm free to use

I wasn't thinking of Nex, I didn't realize Hatchet includes compute and doesn't just store tasks. Still, it seems like NATS + any lambda implementation + a dumb service that wakes lambdas when they need to process something,
