Bees won't survive until it (if ever) happens. We are likely too. It is like relying on aliens to bring peace on Earth. Outlawing glyphosate would fix it (people did agriculture before 1974 (without drones)). Though it is almost as u

you are kidding, right? It is like saying you can't critique US laws because you can move to Canada (technically true but it misses the point)

Such comments remind me provocateur methods used by police to suppress any legitimate critique. It works like this: 1. there is some legitimate issue 2. people protest (peacefully) 3. a provocateur does something over the top (viole

At best, waitgroups are to the structured concurrency as gotos are to loops/ifs(structured programming)--you can implement the latter in terms of the former but the structured part is better (even if/because it is less powerful) a

I don't question "concept of truth." Ironically, the truth is corrupted already. To answer the question "is there any other kind" would be enough to provide one [just one] example of a truthful history book (it is o

"false history" -- is there any other kind? It is like the difference between a cult and established religions: the main difference is scale and time.

What are you trying to say? I saw his films. Why should I know anything about a director to make a judgement on the film I watched. It looks like you are trying to pool one fallacy or another failing to address the points in my comment dire

It _appears_ to mock itself, so it wouldn't be blamed for fascist's propaganda while being essentially a recrutement tool for US military.

Cooperative multitasking is much simpler to reason about than the general preemptive multithreading. pool+map is useful but it is not general.

Explicit (await) vs. implicit (anything that uses patched I/O deep down) switch. Essentially, it makes the reasoning about the code almost as hard as with preemptive threading.

As I understand, C extensions are used for CPU heavy work e.g., numpy is likely ported to WebAssembly.

Who would you blame when Russia is dismantled by NATO? Climate change will still be here. The multitrillion war machine will still require sacrifices. "Socialism for the rich, capitalism for the poor" will be here too, etc. Judgin

Climate change doesn't mean just the temperature become a few degrees warmer. The most noticeable change is that one in century event may happen annually now: extreme heat, extreme cold, floods, hurricanes, etc.

Closing issues without actually fixing them is depressing. It may be beneficial overall. There could be alternatives e.g., label such task as "fun" and hide them all the views by default, then allow developers to spent say 10% on

Any activity has boring aspects. Using the tool to automate such things should be encouraged. Obviously, linters can produce many false positives--they shouldn't be used blindly.

Except for boots on the ground [officially], NATO does everything else: intelligence, weapons, training, supplies, etc. It is not a secret e.g., https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/6/15/infographic-what

This should be easy to answer: we are not smarter in the recent decades (the opposite is likely true due to the leaded petrol). The natural selection for smartness is too weak in humans (it does not take much brain to reproduce nowadays).
