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".

Russia's like the kid in school who breaks some rule and then starts advicing other students the next day not to.

Unfortunately they're too fargone. You should save your time and energy.

It's also not unreasonable to expect responsibility from people who regularly handle vehicles of several tons to know how to drive.

America has this weird aversion to critcizing drivers.

I am on the connect app and your links don't work for me.

Read my comment and enlighten all of us on how stealing free testing work from the community under the pretense of "open source" is not entitlement? How is this project going to compensate users for beta testing their software for free?

No the claim is that the inflation is artificial.. not the prices.

I would do the following:

Build a PC, Buy a bike and travel, Buy a bicycle and ride it on trails, If single: casual dating, Develop a skill like musical instruments or learn a language.

I don't like going to the gym because lifting weights and treadmills are quite boring. Instead I would play sports like football, badminton, etc.

It's a lot easier to deal with a God that may or may not exist.. than deal with humans.

The only people not paying taxes are the royals whose arse you're lickin'.

Lol your whole argument that it's better now is based on your own argument it has been stagant for a decade and your pinnacle argument that fixes the mess is... 1 year of lukewarm wage growth? How the fuck does that fix anything?

Lol "few more years" .. you have nice jokes.
