First of all, that later talk you linked to, doesn't really prove anything. It's really a plea from a journalist to MS. He wishes they just talked to him, but they just refuse to do so. Whether or not the allegations are correct&#

I didn't know you could self host these services with /e/ If they could support desktop devices, that would be great. It would one more step in the right direction.

This comment makes me wonder... What if you can spin up a personal server, and have it connect seamlessly to apps across all devices? I understand your concern on having 3rd parties touching your personal information, so what if the lineage

I think my phone is not just about apps, but also services, tightly integrated with those apps, like chrome's browser history, password manager, Google docs synchronisation etc. Perhaps the only reason why I cannot shift to other apps

Its in my opinion that people don't use the computer properly. There's very little you gain from social programs that you can't gain if you watch the right kind of content, read the right kind of articles, and just talk to pe

I definitely did not mean to target Instagram. We have a general problem of open source funding, and something like Django having this problem is disheartening.
223.
by devxpy 8y ago
Wow, Django must be used by many of the biggest companies around. Instagram comes to mind... Its so retarded to me that companies don't have a model for paying the open source projects they built their whole infrastructure on :(

These technical problems you present, are difficult but solvable if a big player is willing to pitch in. I don't like to target specific words, but the problems you specify apply to JS as much as they do to any other language. A C&#x2F

Typescript and other transpilers especially, seem to be quite resouce hungry, slow and a pain to configure — always getting in my way :(

I think we should also consider that most people have gotten used to the fact that JS is the language of the web, and there’s basically nothing we can really do about it in the short term, so let’s just have a positive attitude towards it!

Exactly why they said that it “looks” preemptive. It’s a mirage...

> Any time you call a blocking function that the system provides, it should immediately yield the fiber, which makes it look preemptive. Makes sense. It let's you avoid the quite verbose and incompatible async/await syntax. ---

So it is preemptively switching then? > It doesn't really imply anything about how parallel (or not) the fibers execute What's all the fuss about paralllelism in the article about then?
231.
by devxpy 8y ago
Fibers are basically just async tasks with multicore support, right?
232.
by devxpy 8y ago
Would love to see some numbers supporting this.. He might have mis-phrased it though. Maybe he meant to say that it can handle billions of concurrent tasks maybe not that they can switch rapidly in just a second xD

I hate how this article started out as a genuinely interesting, scientific study of a recommendation system, but quickly boiled down to a meager political debate about kids using technology.

Thank you, for finally putting this out. I was very confused as to why am I the only one having these strong feelings against how the tech works. I think the guys over at bigchaindb present quite an interesting solution to the problem Block

Running one gevent hub per core seems viable. Does it support forking? Also I don't think that gevent does preemptive switching. I can already do multi server just fine, but not everything is in the server domain. Also I don't see

It would be really cool to have the sort of Erlang-style processes in python -- where each process is a green process, so don't pay the cost of OS handling stuff, but at the same time you run multiple interpreters so that you still get
