Ok, I hope that the people who got scared shitless by this emergency start doing something against nuclear weapons. It's ludicrous: We can all die any day and ICAN, the people who helped to pass the ban on nuclear weapons and got Nobel

Interesting. One would expect Dawkins, being an evolutionary biologist and father of the concept of meme, to just accept the change. But he probably wasn't speaking of what should or should not be. Rather about what he's doing him

An interesting phenomenon I've noticed is that a lot of people, and often intelligent people, believe that language that have been evolving for thousands of years should, somehow, just stop evolving today. Interestingly, while one woul

My take on the problem (predates Graeber's book though): http://250bpm.com/blog:44 TL;DR: Firms are not people and can't strive for efficiency. Only individuals can. Once the financial incentives of individuals ar

Isn't it because economy studies systems composed of human beings rather than idealized homines economici? What's the point of describing a system that doesn't exist in the real world? To give a concrete example, being from t

I guess we are just splitting hairs here, but that's like saying that quantum physics is not physics because it also deals with complex-number-based probability theory. Behavioral economics is a different matter though. It explicitly a

Economic education sucks. Economics is a tiny part of sociology, one that deals with exchange of goods. Actually, not even that, lots of ways of exchange of goods are out of scope of economics and studied by anthropologists. Now look at how

I think the environment is a bit different now than it was once. You typically have a cluster of machines, so you have to be able to run multiple instances of your application simultaneously to use all the processing power. And once you can

The socket functions were once in a separate library but it's just easier to use like this. Linking with 1 library, not having to care about version mismatches etc. My recommendation would be to just not use the socket functions and li

How does it work? It's not obvious how epoll could be built on top of IOCP.

Yes, it's just a normal function. What go() macro does is that it switches the stack, then lets compiler-generated code put the args of the function at the top of the new stack. Obviously, if the function was inlined, the above would n

Author here. Thanks for the nice summary. You've expressed it better then I would. I am not 100% sure about the structured concurrency concept myself, but comparing it to structured programming feels reassuring. Basically, a tree struc

I would say the main advantage is being able to pass couroutine arguments as if it was a simple function. In other coroutine implementations in C (e.g. libtask) you have to make a struct containing all the args and pass that to the run func

Correct. It does that. The IPC, on the other hand, is there for you to use if you want to talk to other processes on the same machine.

This is a thing in Switzerland as well. The waldkrippen are all over the place. It looks like it may be a traditional thing, but I don't know what the history of it really is. I should also say that at the age of 4 kids are expected to

Even better, teach them how to do democracy. Otherwise we'll have one hell of the time solving all the problems in front of us.
