I am pro socialism and asking what kind of details is missing in pro-socialist arguments that you find capitalists explain well?

Your take needs evidence to prove that Russia indeed has the low-end chip market captured.

People think your “Russia has the low-end chip manufacturing market cornered” argument is not backed by evidence.

One thing neo-liberals and dictator loving pretend-communists agree on: Reddit is a cesspool.

I immediately recognized your username. Maybe take a break from the asshole shtick for sometime… and also from online.

I am quite cheeky for saying this but:

How is it leaky if the default paradigm of any sequential program is the expectation that it will block? If i write blocking socket code I know my thread is blocked until read() returns.

If i am writing async socket code I know to wait for poll or whatever it is that is the correct way to wait nowadays. My design would reflect that. The blocking is just moved to another thread effectively and this abstraction is packaged as a Future.

Asynchronous code does not require the rest of your code to be asynchronous. I can’t say the same for blocking code.

Well this is just stating a tautology isn’t it?

Edit:

It would be a Hurculean effort, and I don’t think it’s a sustainable approach. If you’re writing a higher level library, it would be a lot to ask to check if your dependency’s dependency’s dependency maybe reads from a socket.

I guess I understand what’s the argument here.

The author wants a safeguard against libraries that are blocking with compiler checks. I agree it is a nice thing to have. But they could have mentioned that without saying “blocking code is leaky abstraction”.

No that is done by capitalists

What kind of details can you not fathom in a functioning sustainable system? It shouldn’t be more difficult than “more! MORE AT THE EXPENSE OF EVERYBODY ELSE!”

What amuses me is this reads like is written by an amazed american getting wowed by some things the rest of the world already has had for decades. Whats sad is Americans have this exceptionalism mentality where if an old tech like steam and diesel caused them to rule out rail… they never reconsider even if the tech advances.

Not aware of the toxicity… any starting point for this storyline?

not available in India too

This is on the people for using a discourse space that is not being maintained. I agree only that recent actions by it’s leadership team has be suspect.

It’s going to be quite rare… and I do like that we have better visual warning to users that something went wrong instead of a wall of colorless text.

Being good has nothing to do with having to maintain your company’s code base that’s in Oracle’s Java SE 1.6.

You can’t just design your way out of a conflict whose solution is to change either the existing system architecture or change Java versions,

both suggestions will get you laughed out of the room.
