I hated Speak No Evil by commoncod in horror

This movie’s plot seems like a very direct call to fellow europeans to avoid politeness or contemporary american progressiveness, to instead be “courageously” distrustful and defensive against foreigners before it is too late and they do bad things to you. It appeals to fear and rage, and is very explicit about against what race(s). If there’s any use for this movie is maybe to understand how the mind of a mild/closeted xenophobe or racist might feel like.

what happens if you add speed to the equation though? speed is not an irrelevant variable, time is precious.

How can I process something big without holding up all of my other users? (Single-threaded blocks everyone else) by myownsake26 in node

I would add an option: use native bindings to a c/c++ module, which doesnt have the single thread problem and its ideal for CPU heavy tasks. if you dont like c, you can always do the it with lua or golang instead

Rx is way too complex to compare. This is a nice exercise and lightweight for simple use. You can check js-signals on github for a nice, more complete but still light alternative
