because otherwise how would the queen know what you're up to all the time? :D

Surveillance, got to track you all across the internet.

In Greece (EU). Can’t play it either. I’m getting:

Not really. They're just separate but related concepts.

E.g. coroutines are a form of concurrency that doesn't have to involve any sort of I/O, you're just taking two logical processes (e.g generating a sequence and consuming it) and abstracting away how they execute relative to each other.

Describing your tasks using the language of concurrency is a requirement for process-based parallelism (multiple CPUs/cores), but data-level parallelism (SIMD) is a form of parallelism that doesn't involve concurrency either.

    - the program is decomposable into partially ordered or unordered units of execution
    - the program result remains determinant despite partial ordering

No, and that's the point of the article. What you are calling parallel w/r/t IO should be called concurrency (conceptually happening at the same time by virtue of being able to interrupt and resume units of work). The reason IO APIs like you've described is concurrent but not necessqrily parallel is because there is no guarantee in the API that they both happen literally simultaneously; I could build a JS runtime that "works" for all the code written against XMLHTTPRequest (ignoring side-effects) but which under the hood only ever makes one HTTP request at a time. And because I can do that, that means JS code is living in a concurrency-only world, even though as an implementation detail most runtimes support parallel execution of those concurrent operations.
