IO is blocking within that request. There's no way around that. The difference between sync and async is that with the latter, the event loop from the blocking request is freed up to handle other requests, which is where the performance gain is. If there's only a single request, then sync and async are going to look largely the same from the outside. However if there's thousands of requests, async is going to do much better.
yup! I think of it like cooking. If you're only cooking one thing, sync & async look the same. But if you're cooking several things, you can switch between dishes as needed (asynchronous) instead of cooking each dish one at a time (synchronous)
I had the same pain points with Flask, so I built Flask Unchained to integrate many of the best extensions (IMO) to all work together out of the box in a reusable way:
SEEKING WORK | REMOTE/Denver | FULL-STACK | 20-30 hrs/week
My name is Brian, I'm a full-stack web engineer with 8+ years of experience. I specialize in backend architecture but I do it all, frontend and Linux DevOps.
I wanted something better than Django. So I built this. IMO it's already there from a technical perspective but the documentation needs some more work. Would greatly appreciate any feedback!
I used padrino for a while, because it advertised itself as half-way between sinatra and rails. I liked it, but I don't think the framework ever had enough support to be able to rely on it, and since it's not well known I wouldn't pick it again in an environment where someone else had to code on it.
Yea, I definitely need to put more effort into promotion and getting more active users.
I'm not familiar with padrino, but at least for Flask Unchained, it's literally Flask under the hood - so my project is less a new framework but more of an improved way to use a highly popular existing framework. I'm hopeful this distinction can help with adoption.
there's a network of national forests that sprawl the east coast where I've never had an issue finding a mostly secluded campsites close to water and beautiful terrain.
I second this. It’s been very easy to find National Forest and WMA campsites in North Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. Chattahoochee and Nantahala National forests and my favorite.
Sounds like it's more so water pollution where tires are bad:
> Driving is not just an air pollution and climate change problem — turns out, it just might be the largest contributor of microplastics in California coastal waters. [...] Rainfall washes more than 7 trillion pieces of microplastics, much of it tire particles left behind on streets, into San Francisco Bay each year — an amount 300 times greater than what comes from microfibers washing off polyester clothes, microbeads from beauty products and the many other plastics washing down our sinks and sewers.
I don't think it's fair to say the tax _created_ the illegal market. Perhaps the taxes are too high to eliminate it, but the black market was always there, and it never had any real assurances of safety. Now, you have a safe(r) option, even if it may be more expensive than some people are willing to pay for.
Right. can't say taxation created something that existed before taxation. If I had to guess, most marijuana users simply dont want to pay club prices, and don't want to support the government.
Most people do not want a 30% upcharge for the same product in more restrictive packaging. Buy an ounce at a perfectly legal club and you will be handed 8 sealed ornate cardboard boxes housing opaque plastic bags in child proof packaging, each containing 3.5g of product packaged anytime in the last two years, for around $30-50 each 3.5g with state sales tax, local mj tax, and state excise tax all adding up to another 30% to your final price. And they will charge an ATM fee if you use debit instead of cash as a final fuck you.
Buy an ounce at the illegal dispensary across the street from the legal club, and it will come in one bag, you get to inspect the product before you buy to see how fresh it is and its quality, and it will be cheaper and sold tax free.
That's pretty normal for black-market prices. But at least in Colorado, you can get an ounce of top shelf for $120-$140 after taxes (which are 25%). Eighths go for $20-$30. Street prices are even cheaper, but unless you know the grower personally, you obviously don't really know what you're getting.
