Can't you just use the ProcessPoolExecutor[1] for CPU heavy stuff? AFAIK, GIL isn't much of an issue with I/O tasks. [1] https://docs.python.org/3.8/library/concurrent.futures.html#...

Why do you say that? I believe concurrent.futures is meant as a way for asyncio to spawn threads or processes -- which lets you essentially call sync code from async and not have it block the event loop. From the docs[1] - The concurrent.fu

Why would the Gil apply to asyncio, which is strictly single threaded?

> Many popular languages today predate modern asynchronous computing. This makes async-as-default impossible because it's an afterthought Here's a rough sketch of how this can be achieved for a language that already has event l

How do you plan on making this concurrent? Generators can defer computation for later, but that doesn't magically make them async.

I've been thinking why exactly async-await was chosen at the function level, and not the caller level. I mean for languages that have event loops at their core, why isn't every function `async` by default? Let the caller decide ho

Yes, something like that. Like here's David's "Build Your Own Async" [1], which I prefer over Philip's (still extremely good) "What the heck is the event loop anyway?" [2]. It's one thing to tell ho

While this is interesting, it doesn't really show how containers actually work , only lists the specific syscall flags to tell Linux create one . A similar snippet[1] exists for go, and it doesn't do anything particularly specia

I think flutter puts a nail in the coffin with its semi-declarative syntax. While you're technically programming using an imperative language, they've somehow managed to make the syntax close enough to a declarative one that it is

I don't think mac has any hidpi support at all. They just decrease the resolution. Last time I used it, KDE had _proper_ fractional scaling and rendered fonts at full resolution compared to mac, which by default runs at lower than nati

Phew. So much for the app store not deterministically notifying the server deployment infrastructure that the app has been published?

That takes care of lost information, but how do you reliabiliy filter out signal from noise? Can a simple FIR filter work in this situation?

That's actually a lot of money in an Indian context. Although outsourcing to another country might raise other kind of political problems.

Exactly. If it were not for the OS, the hardware seems to be a lot more capable than casual entertainment. These use cases simply don't push the hardware to its limits.

That's because for some reason, people treat computer science and programming as the same thing. IMO they're completely separate things, at least in practice.

With superb open source, cross platform libraries like pdfium available to the public, why won't I just do this on the client?

Are you talking about this [1]? Perhaps it's possible to just use PL/Python[2] to write a custom stored prodecure? [1] https://docs.hasura.io/1.0/graphql/manual/schema/default-val... [2] https

Hi! Thanks for following up. I can't find anything specifically called "hasura actions". Found this[1], but that has nothing to do with language integration. [1] https://docs.hasura.io/1.0/graphql/ma

Thanks, that looks great. Was recently struggling to add custom graphql functions to hassura (preferably in python). But I guess js is a fair trade.

I never said they could, but from the ads, feels like they want to.
