Portland's metro is nice because you can pay for your train / bus ticket by
scanning your card. Downside is you can't pay for anyone else that way, which
prevents people from helping those who don't pay

What if we taxed 100% of a farmer's profit so they were forced to sell their
goods at 100% market rate with no markups and we paid them based on how much
food they produced based on market factors that are calculated and constantly
updated according to expected and desired demand

your right to free speech in so far as being unable to speak hatefully. If

if you have a job, your life is dictated by your corporation just as much as it

And yet corporate leaders are not elected, but rather selected. And that is
unfair for all the reasons that primogeniture was. It is unjust for all the
same reasons that monarchy was. It is a tool of oppression, just like autocracy
*is*.
The world will never be free until we can be as we choose to be. Our society is
simply too enmeshed with capitalism to destroy it, but we could, with the
minimal required effort, dismantle the corruption and authoritarian control
that is wielded against us as we weld our own chains day after day.
We can replace them. We can vote for them. We can select leaders who *know
more than us* and are *better suited for the role* than those who
seek only to maximize *profit* over all else.

you're right
but I think your first impulse should be to think about how to do it in a
multithreaded way
If the result is that single-threading would be better, great! It'll be easier!
But thinking about multithreading first will give you crucial insights into the
structure of the program.

well, depending on what you're trying to accomplish, maybe processing 1/16th of
the audio file on 16 different threads would be faster. I guess it depends on
if you need context from earlier in the processing stage - if you do, then
you'd probably want to do 1/16th of the processing on each thread instead.
... hmmmm that doesn't look right, how about this:`[changes all the magic

yeah that's probably better too since it'll be easier so there'll be fewer
bugs, especially since processing audio isn't usually performance critical ^_^
TBH I just want people to make more threading primitives like locks,
semaphores, and iterators. Like... thread pools, or hashmaps that run a
function on each record stored within every time each of the threads passes a
checkpoint, or paginated arrays of data that run a function on themselves and
the records near them (with slightly different input values, of course) idk
what those are called but I can't resist putting them in everything
Anyway I do think multithreading programs that don't need it will teach you to
be a better programmer, so... depends on what you're working on I guess. Are
you preparing to be ready and working, or are you ready and working?
