Can be done for example by having a address allocation daemon running in user space. The socket library would create an IPC connection to the daemon and ask for an address/port. The daemon would reserve the address/port and pass i

Ok, but doesn't "straight imperative code" rely on blocking API underneath it? If it does not, the implementation has to store the current state in case it cannot proceed immediately, then restore it later -- which is a conte

The question to ask is: Can you do better? Say you use a state machine instead of using coroutines. Will one state transition of the machine be faster than one context switch? 180ns can definitely be improved on (with the C implementation i

That is actually the case. If you look at the github project, there's "running code" implementation of the proposal and, yes, it supports TLS.

"BSD sockets" is the name of the existing socket API.

The implementation in the project uses its own lightweight threads (ctx switch ~20ns, possibility of arbitrarily small stacks, even stacks located on parent thread's stack). Also, it's written in C, so other languages can wrap it.

The interesting part is that in CH, unlike in other democracies, if people will vote for it, it will be implemented. In the last referendum about UBI the proposal had ~23% support. And if the automation advances, that number may raise quick

Direct democracy could help here. Ask people whether they want to decriminalize corruption and even those who voted for populists are going to say no.

I think SRE is what you are looking for. They typically know the product pretty well. The reason why they rollback rather than fix the bug immediately is that they want the outage to by fixed in minutes. Even if you spotted the bug immediat

I love the postmortem culture and it's great to see people writing postmortems even when they don't have to. It would be nice to get to a point where postmortem is something that occurs naturally, with people expecting it and gett

Somehow tangential, but OSX is pain to develop for. I am running Linux on my laptop. If I want to test my project on OSX I would have to buy an Apple box. So, in the end, I am left with Travis CI, which I am using in 60's way, like a t

Not a bad idea. Some other comments here seem to have missed that this is mainly about signaling. Most of the signatories won't get a chance to act on the pledge, but this way they can signal to each other that they are not alone, make
