We also use confluence, but its irritating as hell having no easy way to see how recent subsections of each page are. Is this info good or bad? The page was updated yesterday, but this part was written two years ago. Worse, its down to arbi

yes, but it doesn't do any of the things on the list.

The issue is waiting for threads at runtime, at fixed boundary points, not statically determining if they halt or not. The halting problem is irrelevant to this discussion. Well.. whatever. You can provably determine whatever irrelevant p

You are simply not correct. If you can control how threads spawn, like C# thread contexts (for example the MVC context forces async resumes on the original thread rather than an arbitrary one), this is entirely plausible without an 'op

> they cannot and do not have. sigh~ In this implementation, or perhaps, in python at all... Does that make it completely valueless? I would venture to suggest that maybe there's a big wide world of languages that actually support

Oh come on. I don't agree that the proposed idea is fundamentally new and amazing; but I think it is novel, and there may be some value in being able to semantically bind tasks to execution points, specifically when the tasks are spawn

> as long as you only use async/await... Well, what if you don't? That's the point. The proposed construct does not require that : I'm not saying its better or worse; I'm just pointing out that it's differe

The point of the construct is not explicitly waiting for child tasks/threads/whatever, but that as a formal restriction , you cannot leave the scoped block with unresolved tasks. I don't believe either of the constructs yo

Oh pish posh. I had to go into recovery mode last week because an automatic kernel upgrade broke. You're doing that thing where you ignore the argument to refute a tiny irrelevant point of the argument. Thats a rhetoic device for argui

Please add a 2015 tag, this is old and has previously been extensively discussed.

This sounds like vague hand waving to me. What direct experience do you have with this to justify that claim? Obviously sometimes people brought in are nothing more than sacks of potatoes that make noises, but I think its insulting to the i

This. You want feedback now, on this new proposal? Why bother? It's patently obvious that our feedback on dep has been totally ignored. What indication is there anyone will pay attention to any feedback now? I can't be bothered an

Perpetual arbitrary changing license fees are something everyone wants to avoid. The fees went away, they started moving. Its more complicated than that, but ultimately they won: the people demanding license fees got flipped off and they go

I wonder idly if it would be useful to have 'cargo doc deps' that would generate docs for all your dependencies (or top level dependencies) in a project. The rust docs are super useful, but not everyone bothers to publish them, an

...but do you actually need to understand all of those to use git? I doubt it. Pull, push, branch, diff perhaps? I know people who have been using git for years and they never bisect, cherry-pick or stash. Heck, I was talking to a guy yeste

The reality is that in basically all profressional domains you are expected to be able to use, at a profressional level, the software required to do your job. For developers that includes version control and package managers, amongst othe

I hear what you're saying, and it's true to some extent with projects, like say, opencv. > Communities are great for incrementally evolving a project, but not as much for answering fundamental existential questions about what t
