  • You missed the point. He understands all these things you tried to explain. The point is that your definition of the word “concurrency” is objectively wrong.

    You:

    you seem to be doing multiple things at the same time. In reality they are run little by little one after another

    The actual meaning of the word “concurrency”:

    The property or an instance of being concurrent; something that happens at the same time as something else.

    Wiktionary actually even disagrees with your pedantic definition even in computing!

    (computer science, by extension) A property of systems where several processes execute at the same time.

    I suspect that concurrency and parallelism were actually used interchangeably until multicore became common, and then someone noticed the distinction (which is usually irrelevant) and said “aha! I’m going to decide that the words have this precise meaning” and nerds love pedantic "ackshewally"s so it became popular.












  • Ah right. Center still works with html5 though even if it technically isn’t in the spec. No browser is everything going to remove support for that.

    Anyway I’m not sure you’ll get any answers because it isn’t at all clear what you’re asking for.

    You can edit that HTML in Notepad. I’m guessing Notepad isn’t what you’re looking for, so you need to specify what you want better.



  • Yeah it’s pretty out of date. You might then “eh that doesn’t matter, I like things to be stable and I’ll just imagine I’m three years in the past”.

    That works until some software introduces a bug fix or a new feature that you really need and you can’t use it because of your distro’s weird update policies.

    You will very quickly find that you don’t care anywhere near as much about theoretical stability as you do about a concrete feature or bugfix that is available but inaccessible.

    I say theoretical because in practice Debian stable isn’t really much more stable than more up-to-date distros. It just has fewer new bugs and more old bugs.

    They might try to claim they backport fixes for the old bugs, but in reality they don’t have the manpower to do that for 100k packages or whatever it is. They do it for critical bugs of very important packages but that’s it.
