1. The question mark wasn’t included in stackoverflow DOT com/questions/58439124
2. “Python” no matter what, not “python”. The original title was “Easy Concurrency in Python”

I came to this page by clicking something like “read about 75 lines of code that changed history”. The page it landed is a confusing mess with no real content.
Section 1 “The OVERFLOW” has meta talk about issue 3, the authors and ADHD but no content
Then there is a confusing “From the blog” section.
Then “Interesting Question”
Then “Links from around the web” where I finally (in third pass” noticed the link I came for.
Then “Aithor” “Tags” “Related Articles” Looks like ease of access is lost in an attempt to make the page “interesting”.
I have to agree with Jitendra, there is no order to this page at all.
> read about 75 lines of code that changed history
Except it’s actually 36 pieces of code, selected by submissions by 75 developers. By Slate, so this is just a pointless 3rd-party link.
Get a grip, SO.
i like that the linked article includes the Therac-25. However the description there falls way short when it comes to describing just how negligent this was, and how horrific the suffering of the victims was.
Link-only answers are generally discouraged as “low-quality” posts. Perhaps you intended this as a helpful comment?
