sounds like it's for work

yeah haha definitely the people to ask about coroutines are the JS people because that's all they got

callback hell, web workers and ES6 coroutines

J F

because doing lots of things that don’t involve CPU at the same time is ~~basically~~ what Node.js is for.

quartata

well, it's what it was made for

J F

@quartata Are you talking about Promises?

Undo

@JF Has to be Python for a few reasons. Larger system is one of them, yeah.

quartata

@JF er no didn't y'all get async/await in ES6? or was it ES7?

Undo

9:01 PM

although... there might be a way around this.

quartata

one of them

J F

@quartata Yeah, but it’s all just sugar for Promises.

quartata

hmm, little bit different then

I might be able to send requests directly to the backend web services from the JS frontend. Needs some CORS work, but possible.

@JF ohhh ok that's why I remembered it then

J F

9:04 PM

Ideally, Moderators♦ are elected by the community, but until the community is large enough to hold a proper election, we will be appointing three provisional Moderators to fill those roles.

Oxyhydrogen

Oxyhydrogen is a mixture of hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) gases. This gaseous mixture is used for torches to process refractory materials and was the first gaseous mixture used for welding. Theoretically, a ratio of 2:1 hydrogen:oxygen is enough to achieve maximum efficiency; in practice a ratio 4:1 or 5:1 is needed to avoid an oxidizing flame. This mixture may also be referred to as Knallgas (Scandinavian and German Knallgas: "bang-gas"), although some authors define knallgas to be a generic term for the mixture of fuel with the precise amount of oxygen required for complete combustion, thus 2...

I mean, it's still a stupid question
