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.

Yeah it always bothered me that they're saying "concurrency is not concurrency".

I'm going to start using "multitasking" instead. That's so much better. Who's with me?

Yep. It's great. The awesomeness of JSX/TSX without having to deal with client side JavaScript frameworks and their awkward state management systems (does anyone actually like hooks?).

The GPL doesn't allow you to use someone else's trademark. Though in this case it might be tricky for "WPEngine" to claim WordPress violated their trademark, and apparently WP has T&Cs that allow them to do it anyway.

Screenshots. Print screen. Wayland famously doesn't have a way to do this very basic task (all of the desktop environments had to add custom extensions).

Seems like they finally did it though really recently. And it only took 12 years!

Fresh is the best way to make websites, and Deno is the best way to write infrastructure scripts IMO. I really hope they don't run out of money.

Yes! On a tablet with a Bluetooth keyboard. Should I not want to for some reason?

Very cool but I hope they give it proper GUI integration, not just a webview or VNC, which is how the alternatives work.

One disagreement is enough to make you a "garbage person"? Are you 12?

Oh cool how do I run VSCode in Termux?

Yeah it's pretty out of date.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.

unsigned is just short for unsigned int. int is 16 bits, so yes unsigned is also 16 bits.

I may have misunderstood your question because it doesn't really make sense...
