The entire point might be to offload the blocking call and do something else while it's blocking. There's a style of "asynchronous programming" where everything is designed to be non-blocking and there can be asynchronou

By the time I got to university I already knew C and the socket APIs and have been paid for delivering software that uses them. I had a friend who made a lot of money selling games he wrote in high school for the C64. Both of us were well a

There is no other way to fight this sort of war. What you are saying is that Israel should just surrender because it has no way to fight the militants who are embedded with civilians and civilian infrastructure and the other specific situat

One random example is that your eyes are extremely sensitive to the tiniest defect or variation. So making a large display that looks good and is uniform is very challenging. Not to mention scaling up all the various processes like the phot

There is some persistence in the pixels/phosphor though so it's not a complete illusion. But yes, your eyes are integrating over the frame. There is also interlacing... I read something interesting recent but I'm not sure if

Nobody chants "death to the IRGC" in music festivals in Israel (or anywhere in Israel). Not to mention we're talking a third party here, the UK. The Israeli government doesn't say "Death to the IRGC". Iran howe

Let's help you make sense of this: - Israel is at war with Gaza after it was attacked by Gaza. This war will end as soon as Hamas surrenders and the hostages are returned. Could have ended a long time ago. - Gaza is ruled by Hamas that
