So, the power of async await is no greater than the thread pool manager sitting under it. You are correct. In edge cases where there is only 1 await in the queue for 1 process with 1 thread you gain nothing. But you're accurately descr

I'm guessing the light has far outpaced any matter from the event, no? It seems like the effect of that event could be felt only millions of years after the flash of light, no?

I'm sorry to hear that happened to you. Sadly, this ancient proverb is all too true. "All the brothers of a poor man hate him; How much more he is shunned by his friends! He pursues them with requests, but no one responds." P

Disney's acquisition of Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars, and the better parts of 21st Century Fox will go down as the stuff of legend. I don't even understand how other media giants allowed this to happen. Disney controls essentially all

Yes, please! Would love to develop quick personal use apps using a modernized vb6. I'm a big .Net & C# programmer. But feel like no tool is as efficient for quick GUI apps as VB6 was.

Yeah, it would be useful for browsers to remember a set of tabs as a session. Then it would be easy to "temp close" tabs when one activity is done. But get back to it when needing to context shift back to that activity.

This is awesome! I had no idea how to find the phones that have better OS support, so I was stuck with the Pixel line. Is this basically considered stock Android? Or is that yet another tier?
