As a 3D printing enthusiast, I can confirm your fears. It's all in software and while there are good control systems, nothings perfect. I had the hotbed fail and it was smoking when I found it.

Here is a comparison of `asyncio` (Python), `async` (Ruby) and Go: https://github.com/socketry/async-await/tree/master/examples... I wrote a similar article but for Ruby: https://www.codeotaku

I have a 10 year old Canon 40D and I can take better looking photos with it than my iPhone X. However, the latter is far more convenient. The main difference would be the selection of lenses, but even with similar DOF/FOV, the 40D stil

This is a very tricky situation. I generally abhor guns in society. However, I'd be more concerned about living in a society where creating and disseminating information, such that no crime is committed, is a crime in and of itself. On

That's a reasonable point at an abstract level. But in reality, while you use `open`, `read`, `write` and `close` for files, the equivalent for directories is `opendir`, `readdir`, `closedir`.

I started working on this actually. https://github.com/ioquatix/relaxo is a document database built on top of git. I recently added support for using a specific branch, so it should be trivial to allow a web app doing

The only real solution here is to go out and buy a bottle of very expensive Whiskey to drown your sorrows.

I agree with a lot of your points. But I feel compelled to respond. > Coding is a form of communication Yes, but it's also so much more than this. Not everyone is capable of the mental gymnastics or visualisation required to be a go

My first computer was a BBC micro and I "wrote" my first code using GW Basic when I was between the age of 5 and 10. I now have two daughters, and it's my goal to give them every opportunity to do the same. Recently I sat dow

If you use pure git, no. If you built your company around GitHub team management, yes. If you integrate with 3rd party services that function via GitHub, yes. If you depend on an open source community which is primarily connected through Gi

Thanks for the detailed reply. It made me feel excited, and I want to benchmark the differences. Where is your implementation?

If you take a look, you'll see that I specifically designed the API to avoid the need for any global/thread local state. So, the argument to `coroutine_transfer` is passed to the coroutine and the calling coroutine is returned fro

Thanks so much for your reply. I was inspired by libco, and it is a great library. I am happy to collaborate. I tested the aarch64 implementation on a raspberry pi. Sometimes it's tricky to test. I was thinking of setting up a test har

Do you both mind elaborating a bit on this? I have to admit CPU instruction scheduling is not really my area.. I'd love to hear more.

I like `libco`. The API is a bit more heavy weight than what I submitted to Ruby. That's because `libco` tries to avoid an assembler and instead dynamically loads binary data into an executable section. In my opinion it's an unnec

They are both interesting systems and I agree they try to capture every single dependency. Now try adding Ragel into the mix, which doesn't have `-M` or any other kind of dependency output. There are plenty of other tools like this. Pr

Functional build systems are a great idea. The main problem I had implementing such a system was the file system. It's tough to capture all inputs and outputs, even with the best of intentions. The other problem is integration. You can
