Is a std::thread a thin wrapper around pthreads on Linux?
foo101 · 6 years ago
A related question if anyone knows good answers here.

What programming languages' de-facto thread implementations are not wrappers around pthreads? I think Go has its own thread implementation? Or am I mistaken?

How can we build a society that supports volunteer work in open source? Should governments step in and provide open source grants for important projects just like it does for research work? So much of the world now depends on open source software. This problem needs to be solved soon.

I really thought that pipenv was an anti-pattern. How hard it is to run "python3 -m venv venv; source venv/bin/activate; pip3 install -r requirements.txt" that one needs to create a whole new tool just to combine these three simple commands together? If it is so hard to just use three commands, just put those three commands in a script or Makefile and move on.

I know pip has its own flaws with not-so-great package and dependency management. But does that warrant a whole new tool? Or does that warrant fixing the existing tool?

From the outside, it seems like Javascript developers are all in high school, participating in a popularity contest, feel the need to sprinkle emoji everywhere and communicate solely with memes and gifs.

> From the outside, it seems like Javascript developers are all in high school

I wonder what the reason is for this kind of behavior to exist only in the Javascript community? Could it be that a vast majority of Javascript developers are really in high school? Are there any good stats sources for it?

Ramanujan also claimed 1 + 2 + 3 + ... = -1/12.

How does that work? Who can explain this to me?
