A different coroutine gets a go.

It creates a stack per coroutine and if the coroutine would block, it switches to another coroutine instead. As for threads, it's single threaded (yet concurrent). If you want to take advantage of multicore machines, there's a ste

I think that UNIX-y "do one thing" projects kind of solve the problem. It's easy to reject a contribution as being out of scope: "This little program prints out contents of a file. Your patch that sends it via email is n

Seconded. I always find it hard at conferences to find people who are genuinely interested in stuff that I care about.

True. If we are able to channel more wealth to the poorest they will definitely spend much more on health, education and such. Even more so if it's done on global level: How much more would Africa, India and such consume if given the c

I'm waiting for the crowd that asks for higher wages every time shortage of IT workers is discussed to rush in and demand pizzas $100 apiece. Nothing but a silence so far.

Luddites were wrong because the rise in efficiency was matched by rise in consumption back than. Today the main problem is how to rise consumption even further. And there seems to be easy answer to that. There's definitely a limit to w

Worth looking into if you are interested in early history of computers. The reason why ENIAC is called "first computer" is that it was first fully electrical computer. These are elecro-mechanic computers predating ENIAC.

There would be lot of eggs but no people with money to buy them. Whether price is high or low is completely irrelevant. (The analysis assumes that there's no wellfare, basic income, single worker feeding large extended families or any

That's an interesting question as well. We may be saved by the fact that as literacy and wealth increases, natality rates go down. I've heard all kinds of estimates of when we'll reach the peak, ranging for 30 to 100 years. W

The real problem is how demand curve behaves when the price is approaching zero (which is what you eventually get as productivity increases). Traditional economics assume that if the price of an egg is $1 you'll eat one a day. If the p

Knuth suspects that P=NP. However, theoretical feasibility doesn't necessarily mean that you'll know how to solve NP problems in P time, he says.

Question: Why don't we see this rate of invention in open source community? It is already (apart of it corporation-sponsored part) an artistic community, people work on stuff they like, there's no business pressure and so on.

A dwindling number of people can do all the work nowadays. And the productivity is not going to decline any time soon. Unions are not going to help unless they lobby for a 20hr working week, guaranteed basic income or something in that vein
