How is it a separate discussion?

You're a moron if you think bringing more people into the world is fighting for a better world
You cannot excuse what Israel is doing in Palestine by hiding behind antisemitism.
Buddy... pillow? I am sorry but when you fall in love your stamina will increase x10
Shit like this is why meat eaters are not convinced going vegetarian isn't a conspiracy.
I immediately recognized your username. Maybe take a break from the asshole shtick for sometime... and also from online.
I am quite cheeky for saying this but:
How is it leaky if the default paradigm of any sequential program is the expectation that it will block? If i write blocking socket code I know my thread is blocked until read() returns.
If i am writing async socket code I know to wait for poll or whatever it is that is the correct way to wait nowadays. My design would reflect that. The blocking is just moved to another thread effectively and this abstraction is packaged as a Future.
Asynchronous code does not require the rest of your code to be asynchronous. I can’t say the same for blocking code.
Well this is just stating a tautology isn't it?
Edit:
It would be a Hurculean effort, and I don’t think it’s a sustainable approach. If you’re writing a higher level library, it would be a lot to ask to check if your dependency’s dependency’s dependency maybe reads from a socket.
I guess I understand what's the argument here.
The author wants a safeguard against libraries that are blocking with compiler checks. I agree it is a nice thing to have. But they could have mentioned that without saying "blocking code is leaky abstraction".
No that is done by capitalists
I didn't realize the situation in Japan was so serious to start affecting even the Dolphin!
What kind of details can you not fathom in a functioning sustainable system? It shouldn't be more difficult than "more! MORE AT THE EXPENSE OF EVERYBODY ELSE!"
For me it was a round coffee table and it was a lanky butler wearing white gloves who gently reaches out with index and thumb and pushes the baseball sized ball forward
Is that you scoob?
