    Yea, that makes sense. Basically exactly how you can use an eigenbasis in linear algebra to diagonalize a matrix.

    When running, containers aren’t anything more than composed process isolation primitives like chroot. Docker’s main innovation was the layering system, which made it feasible to bu…

    That's called picking up pennies in front of a steam roller.

    Good point. But what makes studying these functions interesting? Like what key theorems govern this class of functions?

    Ok, but what is being asked is what interesting properties does such a function have. You still haven’t answered that question.

    This news leaves me speechless. I can't imagine the torment felt by the arrested protesters and their families. Those fighting for their rights are unspeakably brave.

    5z + 2 is linear?

    Maybe I'm missing what's interesting about this, but a function like f(z) = 5z + 2 would output a wave with changed amplitude and phase when z = sin(x). That doesn't seem that inte…

    Hmm I see. So the value is in creating a kind of blocking promise. I can see how that might be useful in certain circumstances, but using blocking functionality isn't something you…

    I see what you’re saying. For your bench mark code, it doesn’t look like you’re using a generator? How does the await compare to a generator? I only ask because the non-async examp…

    This seems a lot more complicated than something like this: if (!(value instanceof Promise)) { value = Promise.resolve(value) } And then you write the rest of your code as if it is…

    I’ve derived immense enjoyment from watching the Twitter debacle unfold, so I can’t believe I’m going to say this, but I like the scheme to pay for blue check marks. It’s nice to s…

    You can do something like that with rxjs.

    Are there really good alternatives to C? You can use Rust where you can use C, but the memory safety doesn’t come for free. A lot of people find Rust extremely annoying to write. M…
