Notion was so bloated it barely worked on my iphone 6+. Insta-deleted.

Very interesting, thanks!

I’m wondering.. what is the effect of letting the JVM handle synchronization then ? Wouldn’t they still need to synchronize within JvM ?

What do you use Coroutines in a static language like Java, for ?

Thread support in interpreted languages isn’t that parallel to begin with.

I don’t think this is the endgame and another paradigm shift needs to and will occur. Fb is going to be around and relevant about as much as Microsoft is around and relevant.

Has anyone studied the effects of an American education in bringing more westernization and western ideas into China ? Surely all these graduate students aren’t gonna go back with the same exact ideology that they came with, per se

It will stay like this for the foreseeable future. Chip design IP is too obscure for the mainstream oss people to force an oss ecosystem. There’s also too much proprietary foundry information needed to even have an oss ecosystem that actually works properly.

Ironically the closedness of chip design tools and foundry information is also what prevents it from truly growing. Entrenched players (cad companies) benefit from this, but the losers are the actual chip design companies. They are bleeding generation of engineers who have forsaken this climate for the more cozy cs oss climate.

Also it’s now old tech for them - pushing it to the public domain allows the public to maintain it and improve it for free; not to mention having more people use their system is like free training before they hire the person.

However, pushing it out surely does enhance the public knowledge - in the same way that Carmack released his 3d engines that were out dated in industry by one gen but still helped the public.

Lastly - they need to push it out as they need to attract top talent, and need to demonstrate they have top tech there (and are willing to let their researchers claim credit for it once it becomes old enough).
