Maybe so, but sours/saisons are also much more forgiving to brew than lagers or even IPAs. Any hint of contamination in a lager is immediately noticeable. On the other hand, sour brewers have turned what would normally be flush-worthy

I looked at some FFmpeg-Go bindings recently. Concluded that it was less effort to write exactly the functionality that's needed in C and expose that to Go, rather than fix up an all-encompassing API. More here: https://gith

"Infection resistant materials" are sorely needed, especially in catheterization (which seems to be the initial use case). I wish the team all the success in the world, even if they don't make it to YC this time around.

Useless comment. Everyone needs to pay rent. If you don't want to pay for this, then just use libvpx. In any case, it's good to see another entry in the one-horse race of VP(9) encoders.

Calling failed builds "damage" is rather overstating it. If building a specific package fails, OPAM continues with as many other packages as it can. Arguably that's not even "transactional" in the atomic sense, but

Yes. The intuition is a good one of parallelism being a deliberate way of designing a system to run its parts simultaneously (physically), with concurrency being a property of a system that may or may not have its parts running simultaneous
