Depends on where you live... in Graz the KPÖ (Communist Party of Austria) was elected a while ago. In Salzburg there was a mayor-election that ended in a second ballot between the SPÖ (socialist party of austria) and the KPÖ candidate. The

It can and it should, but I disagree with the sentiment that when it's abstracted "away" it's not there anymore. You just don't see it. Abstraction doesn't change any fact about how the system actually works.

That's the main gripe imo: Missing features that are not optional for certain problems where the solution would otherwise make perfect sense. I get the pragmatism to "better ship something that is 80% finished now, than wait for i

Threads are easier to spawn and that's where all the fuzz comes from, I argue. Especially in Rust, Async isn't as easy as in other languages with a runtime and it does indeed have some caveats (e.g. cancellation), but all the real

Even if they had, they agreed to a specific version, not all future versions. That's why the EULA comes up again and again if it changes. Or am I totally wrong here?

I never said they were in 2007, I said I bought my last Nvidia card in 2007. In 2011 I was using R600, without any problems. Since then the situation improved steadily, especially when Steam got native support.
