> This is the question and I would disagree. Hiding the asynchronous nature of any given function is a dangerous illusion. I understand where you are coming from. However, in my experience, it's "turtles all the way down".

Coroutines are useful in their own right, too.

You also have EONESHOT which means that the event monitor is automatically removed after it's triggered. It depends on the design of your concurrency model. For event based systems, you may prefer level-triggered notifications. That&#x

Stackful fibers allow you to have concurrency with the illusion of blocking IO.

I particularly like this video. Start watching from here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fu0gx-xseY&feature=youtu.be... for the historical context/concepts. He gives an absolutely brilliant overview, better than

Yes go would fit into the green thread bucket pretty well.

by ioquatix 8y ago
There are two kinds of stackful coroutines - fibers and green threads. The difference is that fibers stay on the thread they were created on, while green threads can transit between OS threads. There have also been projects to cooperatively

There are three main kinds of async IO. * Event driven with callbacks (`on data`, `on error`, and so on). * Stackless coroutines (async/await). * Stackful coroutines (no direct semantic changes to code required). Personally, I like sta

I like curves but I don't know that one. Can you clarify? Is the following an example of an instance of that curve? y = x2^(-1x)

I've been waiting for this to go mainstream for a long time. Unfortunately, my experience of mainstream milk is it's generally pretty crappy, mostly because of how it's produced. In New Zealand, the average "milk" i

If you edit files once in a blue moon, `notepad.exe` is more than sufficient. If you work with hundreds of files per day as part of your profession, you are going to want something a bit better. I wouldn't call it over engineering if i

I agree with this. Proposals like integrating Cairo into the standard library seem moronic.

Thanks for being so interested. The architecture is super simple, I'd suggest that the first place to look is the source code. There are really only two ways of accessing the underlying data store - a read-only dataset and a read/

Relaxo actually grew out of Couch DB. Relaxo used to be a couch query server ( https://github.com/ioquatix/relaxo-query-server - not so useful any more) and ruby front end ( https://github.com/ioquatix&#x

That's a good question. Relaxo is a database designed around immutable, transactional structures where convenience is more important than scale . Think of things like comments on a blog, items for sale in a small shop - https:&#x2F

I appreciate all your points. However, in my experience implementing coroutines and fibers, where I allocated stacks using `mmap`, with guard pages, I'm not completely convinced that fixed-size stacks are an issue: 1/ The typical

In my experience it depends on the tooling - both the compiler needs to allow for insertion of the necessary debugging symbols, and the debugger needs to interpret them correctly. I'd like to improve this situation, right now the follo

Actually, a coroutine is just a more generalised function - it's a function which retains it's state over multiple calls. I recommend watching this video, which has a great overview. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v

Yes, C++ is a complex language. Yes, it has a ton of warts if you know where to look. But, you can write beautiful software with it, and it can even look beautiful too. Yes, there are alternatives, but when it comes to performance, expressi

The thing that bothers me is how long it takes for content to come to Netflix. For example, in NZ, I still don't have access to season 2 of The Expanse. Remind me again why I'm paying monthly for this service!?

As the author of a build system, which took 5 years to bring to completion, and is now used in commercial applications, I feel like this list is not that helpful. A modern build system does sacrifice generality in order to improve performan
