Thorsten Ball - Why threads can't fork

There is an interesting thread on the Go issue tracker about daemonizing processes. Most of the thread is not about daemonizing processes though, but more about why Go has no Fork() function which you can call directly in your code. The first time I read through it I was wondering and saying to myself: “Yeah, why is there no Fork()? It surely can’t be that hard to implement.” After all you can already call system calls with the syscall package. As I read more and more I realized that the problem is not implementing Fork() per se, but rather implementing Fork() to work safely in a multi-threaded environment, which most Go programs are. So I tried to find out why.

Cannibal Capitalism

Shortlisted for the Deutscher Memorial Prize 2023 Capital is currently cannibalizing every sphere of life-guzzling wealth from nature and racialized populations, sucking up our ability to care for each other, and gutting the practice of politics. In this tightly argued and urgent volume, leading Marxist feminist theorist Nancy Fraser charts the voracious appetite of capital, tracking it from crisis point to crisis point, from ecological devastation to the collapse of democracy, from racial violence to the devaluing of care work. These crisis points all come to a head in Covid-19, which Fraser argues can help us envision the resistance we need to end the feeding frenzy. What we need, she argues, is a wide-ranging socialist movement that can recognize the rapaciousness of capital - and starve it to death.

Friday Facts #445 - The Biters Bite Back | Factorio

Hello, We have another dose of human generated facts for you. I was planning to write about these biter and enemy behavior changes before the 2.1 release, but an unfortunately timed neck injury led to it being postponed. The silver lining here is that now I can write about all the player reactions and funny bugs we've found along the way. We might be getting into controversial territory here, but I like the biters and I like fighting them. I like clearing nests when expanding. I especially like defending against them when they smell my success. However I never had fun with the expansion groups. The whole feature just didn't seem to land right, and I would like to know if many other players agree — so let's delve right in.
