  1. Communicating Sequential Processes on Auto-threading Compiler Could Restore Moore's Law Gains · · Score: 1

    Or we could just pursue CSP so that we have a friendly concurrency model with which to parallelize software that needs it, or just to introduce asynchronicity in a simple way. Shared-memory concurrency is pretty poor, whether or not a human user of the language is responsible for it.

    Who mods this thinly-veiled bloodthirsty nonsense up?

    It's very telling that roman_mir's paragraph regarding the Poor Rich Men (which is completely off topic, of course, but very typical of roman_mir) is lengthier and more outraged than his paragraph on torture.

    Why yes, how dare he challenge the 'authority' of a crooked corporation.

    And the profits of contractors.

    Why would you deride human rights groups, Taco Cowboy? And yes, drones that attack autonomously are a very bad idea.

    Shite mastery of English, lad. Nice faux-elitism there as well; "Hah, public schools".

    So, definitely not fond of freedom for public sector workers, then?

    No, I'm not a public sector worker; nice going, trying to erect a straw man to batter to pieces.

    How about the special entitlements given to employers by the government?

    I am convinced that you only desire to strip public sector workers some of their basic rights out of vindictiveness. Do you think that the public sector as an employer is incapable of making a mockery of its employees?

    And no, I don't care at all about what FDR thought.

    you shouldn't have the right to unionise

    I see you're espousing freedom as usual.

    A propertied person taking a dodgy Thatcher quote, ostensibly not having a clue what socialism is, and using it as his signature? Colour me surprised.

    extreme socialism [is] authoritarian

    No, it's not. Americans have absolutely no idea what socialism is, yet throw the word around willy-nilly as a pejorative, as if they were still the depths of the McCarthyism.

    from that perspective they look the same

    No, they don't. I would not trust an American to know what fascism is, really. Just look at the GOP and the Democratic party; both authoritarian corporatist parties to the core these days, though you won't find a hand-on-heart-single-tear American admitting that.

    Yes, some regulations are bad. This is a revelation.
