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.

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.

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've had this experience out west too. But anecdotally at least, these spots can be harder to find on the east coast.

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.

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.

Yea, something seems fishy. My E485 (one 3-cell battery) gets 3-4 hours on Arch

It sounds like they're using aeroponics where possible. Of course that still requires energy, but much less so than growing in soil. There's also much less overall water use, because it's essentially a closed loop system with minimal evaporation.

Heh me too :/

Yea, that's definitely possible. I'm running the latest BIOS (at least last I checked, maybe a month ago). The HDMI port basically didn't work until I upgraded to a 5.0 kernel, so they're definitely still working out the kinks. (On 4.x it only worked after a fresh boot; any hotplugging or suspending/waking completely froze the machine)

WiFi is a Realtek 8822BE chip. That was the only option available when I purchased the machine, but yes it is user-replaceable (the machine is quite serviceable, if a bit tricky to open the first time around). Definitely considering getting an Intel or Qualcomm chip - the Realtek mostly works, but I have noticed a few coffee shops around town where it drops the 5GHz connection after a few minutes. Works with my router at home though, so I'm not really sure what's going on there.

I've read better things about Linux on the A485 variant, but I've no first-hand experience with one (high level at least, it looks to be an E485 with two batteries and a $200ish higher price tag).
