I think you might not be able to write that program, there simply is no way to block in Pony (modulo FFI). The scheduler wakes up actors that have messages (in their local/private queue) to process, all actors can do is to consume thei

I think that's just normal code, nothing that affects the runtime, that Promise is just a pony actor and abides to the same rules, with the same causal messaging guarantees.

My understanding is that it doesn't use promises with continuations, what source suggests it does? The message queues are unbounded, do not block on writes, and only one can actor can read. There's no blocking nor waiting, so I&#x

Isn't that a live lock? Can anything really shield you from that? It seems nothing can, in the same way nothing can really shield you from an infinite loop.

Avoiding deadlocks is easy if you're lockfree (or otherwise non-blocking), the interesting bit is being data-race free: https://www.ponylang.io/discover/#what-makes-pony-different

Good point on the presumably different behavior of people who might underestimate how much at/of a risk they actually are. And I agree that the weakest the "protect others" is, the least justifiable mandates are. The story is

It is really true that everybody knows that? Many people will still say vaccinated people get negative faster so, even if they were shedding as much virus as unvaccinated people, vaccinated people would still be less contagious. This seems

Surely misinformation has had an impact, but how big? I wonder how that compares to the perceived incompetence. Some official sources are wrong some of the time, everyone's favorite example: they told mask were useless in the beginning

Mind that this is correspondence, not a peer reviewed paper. For what is worth most meta-study will check if they reach the same results leaving-n out (typically one), but I agree that they could do much better accessing the underlying data

Indeed, it dilutes at best. We're to expect that, as demand increases, whoever is selling the negative carbon will eventually double-sell the same negative carbon. I suspect that whoever is buying has no way to check.
