I don't think that in itself is a change in viewing habits. There's been plenty of filler tv trash for the last half century, and I've used it in the way you describe even before netflix existed

I've gone back and forth on this so much.

On the one hand, it's really annoying when your client library doesn't actually support asyncio compatible code (ex libraries which perform synchronous network or disk reads/writes), and you have to wrap everything in an executor.

On the other hand, making it explicit ensures I'm actually doing things async. "Leaf" functions with an async containing no await is now a red flag to me.

It's a mental tax to remember that I may actually be returning a future instead of the result of a future (similar to how you can return a function but not the result of that function being executed, or a non materialized generator), and having to call 'await x' instead of just assigning x kind of violates 'do what I mean'. In the end, async is (relatively) difficult, so I appreciate the enforced explicitness.

For me, I find what they're doing with android pretty evil (disallowing manufacturers from also offering phones with alternate distros/os')

I mean, china has nukes, a larger and more experienced army and navy, and a geographical advantage. The largest mountain range in the world borders them on one side, Siberia and the steppe on the other, a huge ass desert in between, tropical rainforest and mountains to the south east.

The geographic isolation isn't as strong as the us', but it's much stronger than any other country in the region. Taiwan/japan/south korea off their border is the biggest issue

A supervolcano eruption, nuclear winter, or large asteroid impact would still leave the earth more habitable than Mars.

We're a long way from being Venus

You can also just have tooling to find every reference of a function and then refactoring all at once, sending it out in a single pr, but that's a bit more advanced

Sober trip sitters are a requirement, in my experience. Like, cigs and alcohol at most for them

I'm honestly not surprised by the results, and believe them. Especially for things like programming

They're not dictating what employees can do on their own time, only what they can use company resources for. You can always find a restaurant with good vegan/veg options, although its admittedly harder in europe.

What? No. This ignores subsidies, markup, shelf space, and that you probably shouldn't be going for the cheapest calorie per dollar anyway. Following your argument, we should all just eat pure sugar and butter.

I read your site, and it's all just FUD. You mention in passing how you'd need to grow agriculture to feed animals anyway, and then completely ignore that fact through the rest of your writing. You don't cite any actual environmental numbers, pull some out of your ass, and then hand wave your way through your position.

They told me it was space air. I began to protest that there was no air in space, and before the count of 10 the nurses began spinning around me as I fell into my first psychedelic trip. Didn't have an experience like that again until I tried salvia. I was 6-8. Weird.

I'm extra confused because I thought in some sense stock was the collateral (or at least a component of collateral) for said debt.

Isn't there like a Kong for an entire region as well?

Threadripper is lga ;-)

It's a lower risk but it could still happen. There's been plenty of embarrassing occasions in the last few years where automation has failed to account for black people -- facial detection and automatic door openers are two off the top of my head

Also, with automated offense, a lot of people may die in short order if you encounter a systemic failure in your targeting + execution

Honestly, I would just not use it wherever possible. It's a wart on the language, and there are plenty of semantically superior alternatives. I would rather wrap in function + use return over break, use a sentinel value, or raise an exception over using the else block.

If there's anything I've learned, it's that just because a language has a feature, doesn't mean it should be used.
