A Design Space Exploration of Async/Await
Every language pitches async/await as synchronous-looking code, and the same two keywords appear everywhere. But behind the shared syntax hide nine independent design decisions, and no two of seven modern runtimes agree on what even the simplest async programs should do! In this paper we map the design space of async/await so you can find out where your language stands.

From The Tyee's Daily Catch
“We live in on a rural property with a lot of mostly mature trees. While I agree with some of the FireSmart recommendations, I’m not going to cut down all these trees in order to have a slightly better chance of saving the house and any outbuildings in case of a forest fire. If I wanted to live on a bald prairie, I’d move to Alberta or Saskatchewan (shudder).... All of us reading The Tyee know exactly what’s triggering all these wildfires, torrential rai…

I knew this day would come. The chainsaw has been going all morning. (Even though there is lightning in the area!!)
The former Alberni High School (1920-1952) and Redford Elementary School (1980s) has had a large fir tree on its property likely for that entire time… The tree is at least 80-100 years old.
It was sold a few years ago. I am not speaking ill of the First Nations developer because I actually appreciate what they have done at the property and agree with the development.
This is a failure of City policy not protecting important trees and public spaces that continue to be lost in the City. They provide shade, habitat, and public enjoyment. They are not rotten, they are not at risk of falling or blowing down in a storm.
I don’t understand why people are afraid of trees. 🌲
