agree. i think google python formatter kept lines at 65, i was surprised but it made you keep things concise & ended up much more skimmable.
haven't made a pcb in a long time but when i did, used Altium & there were design rule checks for everything; but, none for creepage. Interesting, thanks for sharing.

Re:Re: 100k Threads? (2002) on Saturday September 23, 2023 @08:33AM (#37622708)
Today (but not in 2002) if i needed a server with 100k concurrent activities, I'd look to async frameworks - futures/ callbacks but a small number of threads. Akka, reactive streams, etc.

Is a huge number of threads as useful today as 2002?

they will incur the wrath of Shai Hulud!!
