"The first truly global event", I expect the World Wars or the Olympic games to challenge that in the past century. And the conquest of the sea and riches beyond that.

At this point, if a company raised an SIO (Softbank Initial Offering) and starts with a W like WeWork and Wirecard, I'm going to look into it at least a hundred times or avoid it like the plague.

Intel vs AMD in the past is a typical example on how money + exclusive deal could almost kill off a competitor. Then Intel would enjoy a monopoly and instead of being stuck at Skylake for 4 years, we may have been stuck at Core 2 for 10 ye

Ah yes, I would love to recompile and run that through libFuzzer and collect all the hidden bugs that were never discovered when it was a blackbox.

What? So what do German use for 10^9, Milliarden? In French we use Milliard for billion and Trilliard for Trillions (and millions for millions).

I prefer in-depth article that don't skip over "details" and I expect that from an university publication. Otherwise I would read my Twitter feed.

But clever technological workarounds might expose those idiots for what they are: Clowns trying to "regulate" things they don't understand without seeking expert advices beyond their narrow lobbyists.

What if you put a text in your project: All lawsuits are in the jurisdiction of X Tribunal, situated in Switzerland or another privacy-friendly country?

This would be in breach of various privacy laws in the EU. Companies have been sued for using weak encryption (cough plaintext passwords).

Banks will love that. As would EU, South American and Asian businesses, they would VPN to another continent VPN to finally have nested encryption for key stakeholders communication.

Then if I'm writing a concurrent queue or concurrent hash-table I'm on my own since 100% of my codebase is unsafe Rust. Which was exactly my point. Rust provides no support for fearless concurrency because actual concurrent code,

Yes low-level C + retaining memory around in the GC. The second part avoids many malloc/free that may be hidden in destructors in low-level languages.

> In these cases we want the properties of OOP: local retention, message passing, abstraction through public interfaces and state-machine-like behavior. That's not OOP but Actors or event loops.

You can write procedural without having to resort to manual memory management. C++ and Nim (for citing languages I know the best) gives you tools, destructors for both and for Nim a tunable/deactivable GC, that you allow you to write p

My rule for writing OO code is to not write OO code. Procedural code is: - simpler to analyze, audit and (formally verify) - simpler to multithread - maps to what a program does: a series of transformations applied to an input - maps to low

Nim JSON parser is not optimized, it was mostly written for maintenance (for example it allocates a Table per node in the json file) I.e. the difference in speed here is a difference in elbow grease. I have yet to come into an optimization
