Open source doesn’t mean foss.
I think people being such zealots about getting paid is actually a huge problem with the open source community.
Giant corporations should absolutely pay to use these projects that are often labours of love done in spare time.
God forbid giant companies like Microsoft and Amazon should have to contribute to the development of open source software they massively profit off of.
You aren’t slowing down anything. If you didn’t use async that thread would be blocked.
You’d need a thread per request even though they are sat doing nothing while waiting for responses.
Instead when you hit an await that thread is freed for other work and when the wait is over the rest of the code is scheduled to run.
A huge amount of time in apps is spent waiting for IO, database or web requests to complete.
Async prevents locking a thread during this wait.
If you’re handling a large amount of requests in a web server, for example, it allows other requests to progress while waiting for these operations.
Threads are also expensive to start and manage.
Also handling threads manually is a pain in the ass.
I would say more likely to get around bot protection.
You can buy a license to use software. That’s how a lot of software works.
That’s all well and good. But it still doesn’t change the whole not getting paid issue. Unless they violated the license lol
I mean just license it as such right? You can’t say it’s completely free for anyone to use then complain you aren’t getting paid.
I literally skip SO results now. Most of them are so out of date it’s often better to find an article or ask chatgpt
I did games technology at university. We had a module that was just playing board games and eventually making one. Also did an unreal engine module that ended with making a game and a cinematic.
It was awesome.
Maybe non native speaker. If you add “alone” in there it sounds fine.
