Is it unreasonable to suggest that maybe it could be both a reflection of politics and world class scientific achievements? To suggest that the prize is given simply in order to make a political statement seems like an insult to both the ac

I couldn't play an instrument if my life depended on it, can't sing particularly well and also have little to no musical training beyond whatever we did in middle school – even I can tell this piece just doesn't sound right.

I had to give The Wire 3-4 episodes before I was hooked, and then binged watched the whole thing. I love it, one of my favorite shows for sure.

Definitely turn in the subtitles, pro tip right there! Also I'd say give it a few episodes before you knock it – it's slow paced in its portrayal of the vast array of different characters, but it's time well spent. Perhaps th

Thanks for mentioning it, I don't know much about Lua. I found the language I was thinking of, it's called hyperscript. Here's an article about how async works in that language: https://hyperscript.org/posts&#

This is exactly how I remember it working in the language I mention (which, by the way, is called hyperscript[1].) The semantics where flipped such that you'd explicitly mark calls or functions as async, rather than await, if you wante

This looks very cool, thanks for sharing! I took a cursory look at the docs and it looks like async/await is pretty much directly analogous to how it works in JS, with the difference that you don't need to mark functions as async

The async transparency stuff is really interesting, and reminds me of a comment[1] I made a couple of years ago here on HN about async/await and how I think it's backwards from what it ought to be. Really glad to see you exploring
