I agree. If you strictly follow the syntax of "Example 1" in JavaScript (calling and awaiting on the same line), the observable output is identical to Python.
I suppose the author meant to say that if you first called your async function and then later did `await` you would have different behavior.
In every language having any kind of asynchronous features you should get exactly same result. Other comments already mentioned how the example should look and how it differs.
In short: having other coroutine working and awaiting e.g. on sleep() you can get anything between „parent before” and „child start”. In Python is impossible, because child is not run as new task.
I've been thinking a lot about building an open source dating app as a non-profit offering.
I have a sense that succesful dating contributes highly to overall human happiness. It should be a public service similar to wikipedia or libraries.
Free forever, fair and safe, and responsibly managed. It's probably not that expensive to run. But idunno, i'm kinda frightened to "compete" in this market
As I understand it, it's not a technical problem, rather a social one first off: you can build it but it'll be "empty" compared to all other options out there, even if it's technically superior to them. Network effect and all that.
There's also a technical problem you'll have to contend with: bots and scammers... so many bots and so many scammers.
I think it's an interesting area, but I've got no time or energy to undertake such an endeavor. However, I'd be happy to talk about it and discuss it further if you'd like to. Contact info is on my profile page here.
I think you should do it. The costs for all these services are still priced like the AOL days where bandwidth mattered. I really don’t think the hosting costs could be much. I had a small dating site decades ago and the cost was almost nothing.
I've watched speed dating events go from free to $45 in the past couple years. Not sure if that's b/c of inevitable factors in running those events or pure opportunism.
I think something like the matrix protocol would be better. I would be especially interested in not storing unencrypted user messages. Matrix would be a good choice for this.
>While I respect anyone’s decision to spend their days playing pickleball, that life isn’t quite for me—at least not full time. I’m lucky to wake up every day energized to go to work
Bit of an unfair comparison though.. Most people dont retire from a job where you're literally handing people money.
That said, I'm a huge fan Bill's work post-microsoft :)
I don't need you to repeat the propaganda, I know what the official narrative is. And it's mostly lies, especially the part about Gates suddenly turning from asshole to saint.
Interesting. I would not have thought, that on hn a normal discussion with arguments and sources is not possible. But hey you seem to pref to comment for the comment sake not for discussion.
First of, i do know his history very well, i'm quite aware that he was not a saint before but that doesn't change the fact what he is currently doing and it is very good.
Do you have anything real? Like real talking points? Real sources? aything besides just shitting at him?
Ahaha, I've become that person I guess. I only mentioned Arch as I've always used Ubuntu when using Linux desktop VMs, and even test drove Kubuntu before trying out Cachy. Apart from some brief time getting used to pacman as a package manager instead of apt, I haven't encountered any other items that felt different to Ubuntu.
I agree on the first part. Having used kagi for about 6 months it often lacks behind on recent things. I find myself automatically adding !g on such queries
Would be great if you reported it with screenshots so we can try to debug what went wrong. I encourge you to do that next time via https://kagifeedback.org
