There is a difference between blocking and non-blocking, which is what I am asking about. Language runtimes apparently cannot provide non-blocking DNS (as evidenced by this article…

Not sure a better place to ask this, but we're getting to the point in most OSs where basically anything you want can finally be done truly async (non-blocking). Except that DNS ap…

EVGA has a sign up sheet. They'll email you when it's your turn and you have some number of hours to complete the order (don't remember the exact amount of time you get). Note that…

For this reason I try my hardest to buy single-active-ingredient versions of everything. I can keep a list of what pill combos combine into nyquil/mucinex/whatever, and can avoid d…
