This is 10 year old story. It’s very interesting which ones stay in the public consciousness.

You’re missing context. We are discussing their 5+ other lawsuits.

Only for the larp value. What attributes make it more dangerous?

AR-15 is merely a body style, there is no metric by which it is more dangerous than a hunting rifle.

Sounds like a principled take based on rule of law.

Wikipedia page disagrees with you. Whether they collected that amount, I do not know.

No. I actually don’t think lashing out at any wallet that happens to be in the area will make anyone happy. The people who are responsible are dead.

I have yet to hear what meaning tolerance has in this interpretation. Surely chairman mao agrees with free speech that doesn’t harm his society and social programs

I agree. The right thing to do is to wait for the task to finish. I wrote that first line in jest, I’m making fun of the notion that blocking = slow = unresponsive.

> you run out of (OS) threads very fast. What does run out mean?

And somehow all these programmers who never care about performance because “computers are fast” become micro-optimizers, willing to restructure every line of code to save a few KB …

If you’re talking about the course where you write a linked list, hash table, quick sort, etc. That’s pretty basic and fundamental stuff. And I don’t know why you would like progra…

But most windows 98 era Ui programs were 1 or 2 threads…. You just handle events in order in a loop. It works and is far more responsive than what we have today. > Disks are certai…
