You could use gevent. It uses green threads, so that the code you write looks like synchronous code. It can also monkeypatch core networking modules so that existing code will work without changes (including the Django ORM).

If you want to have a tangential discussion about how you interpret Ring's terms to permit them to do wild things behind the user's back, that's fine; but it would have been better to be more clear about the tangential nature

The feature discussed allows law enforcement to request access from the end user . It's the end user whose consent is required under that regime, not Ring's.

While the OP doesn't emphasize this detail, it says this is a tool that will allow police to request access from the camera owners. Police can, of course, also request footage from the owners of non-cloud cameras, so the legal basis

SQLite doesn't have a separate server process; it does all of the work for queries in your process. So it's intrinsically CPU-heavy, and it needs threads to avoid blocking the event loop. One way to look at is that with a client-s

Async IO is concurrency, not parallelism. And Node.JS is simply a framework for JavaScript, like Twisted is a framework for Python. If you compare a framework to a language, then of course the framework has more stuff built in; but that&#x2

Node.js actually had no parallelism at the start, other than the ability to manually spawn new processes. Worker threads were only added in 2018 with v10.5.0, and only stabilized in 2019 with v12. What Node.js had from the start was concu

It's interesting to consider why criticisms of China in particular are often interpreted as racism. No one makes the same accusation if you criticize America. Part of the explanation may be that China is much more ethnically homogenous

To me, the impressive part is implementing it in under 200 lines of bash script, not implementing it with only 64 bits of state. Nothing clever is required for 64 bits of state: a cell has 12 possible states (2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256,

You can kinda validate machine translation by doing a circular translation, A->B->A. It's not a perfect test, but it's a reasonably strong signal.

HFCS is typically 42:58 or 55:45 fructose:glucose. Table sugar is 50:50. HFCS is only "high fructose" relative to unprocessed corn syrup, not relative to table sugar and other common sweeteners.
