Why can't Python have something like http://libmill.org ? If it's doable in C, why not in Python?

What was not accounted for was that working hours will not be shortened and thus lot of people would have to invent ridiculous, mostly paper-pushing, occupations to be able to survive.

This is the demographic that's traditionally fueling crime/war. You can give a positive twist to the story by rephrasing the title "study finds young men are playing video games instead of shooting people."

I am programming for 30+ years and I am still doing this. As mentioned in the article it's a good way to memorize stuff, but it also acts as a checklist: As I re-type each line I make sure I understand what exactly it is doing and whet

That's super interesting. Most of the money exists in form of virtual money (i.e. a record in a database in your bank). Cash is much more rare. Now, with people preferring cash to virtual money the price of the two may get disconnected

If it was Bitcoin I would say putting regulation in place made no sense. If you wanted regulated currency you could use USD, EUR and so on. As for ETH putting regulation in place makes more sense. What you get is "regulated smart contr

One thing I was always interested in w.r.t. Sudbury Schools (but never met anyone with personal experience to ask about it) is how do the students, being trained in democratic way of doing stuff, deal with real life once they finish the sch

A person doing X is taxed, while robot doing X is not. That, of course, gives unfair advantage to robots and shrinks the amount of taxes collected. I get it. But wouldn't abandoning taxing of people and taxing the flow of goods and ser

There's an argument that blockchains are immune to embrace, extend & extinguish attacks. I am not sure about that. Classic EEE (thing Microsoft Internet Explorer) can be done only if you have big majority of the markertshare. But i

The evolution is opportunistic, it doesn't favour elegant design. Just look at the human body with all its staggering complexity. Software, if written and adjusted incrementally, tends to evolve in similar way. Now, what Mr. McIlroy as

To me, the trick with closing the resource sounds like a hack. Imagine you wanted to generalise it: We have a goroutine that may use some resources: sockets, files, keyboard, screen etc. To shut it down you cut it off from all those resourc

Here's the use case that drives the design of fdclean: Imagine a third party library makes a callback to your code and hands you a file descriptor. You can use it temporarily, but you have no idea what will happen to it after you retur

Yes, the library design is based on that article. However, there are couple of simplifications that were done in the meantime. Most importantly, the article goes into great pains to define a single API that deals with both soft and hard can

fdclean() is not strictly needed and it haven't even existed in earlier versions of the library. But it turns out that when handling 10,000 concurrent connections, the version with fdclean() is 1700x faster...
