For a five-second demo I agree. But for five hours of playtime, I think the original would result in serious visual fatigue.

All these things are possible to do, even though only developers need them. Why shouldn’t the same be true for useful profiling abilities? Because of the 1-2% penalty?

Do 50% of users need to be able to: * modify system services? * run a compiler? * add custom package repositories? * change the default shell? I believe the answer to all of the above is "no".

Not all systems are web sites. Those issues are not inherent to the concept of end-to-end testing.

End-to-end tests verify high-level expectations based on the specification of the system. These high-level expectations generally stay stable over time (at least compared to the implementation details verified by lower-level tests), and the

The author seems to reinforce the original point, that the async paradigm ends up working best in an all-or-nothing deal. Whether the difficulties in interfacing the paradigms should be attributed to the blocking part or the async part does

I don't necessarily disagree, but the original comment didn't suggest that gambling and cannabis are equally harmful, or even that cannabis is harmful. The point was that policymaking seems to tend toward all-or-nothing (either

Sure, and packaging the artifacts of the liburcu build is going to be trivial in any package management system. It makes very few assumptions about how it's going to be used. Using Folly requires you to ascribe to the Folly worldview o
