"Ah, the ‘crash early, crash often’ mantra — truly inspiring. I guess when your program explodes because it can’t handle concurrency, we should just sit back, crack open a cold one, and toast to ‘maintaining invariants.’
And sure, let’s talk about state. If handling multiple states at once is ‘extremely difficult,’ then yes, async/await might not be the best for anyone who panics when their program has to juggle more than one thing. But that's kind of the point.
Async/await is like giving you a leash for your concurrency so you don’t need to wrangle state machines on a pogo stick. But hey, if you’re happier living on the edge of crashville because ‘the OS scheduler will save me,’ who am I to interrupt your Zen?”
while we’re waiting for the OS to ‘save us’ from async/await, let’s not ignore the fact that writing code that doesn’t hang, crash, or block the main thread is a skill for a reason.
The Adult industry has always been pretty hot on emerging tech, whilst a shitty move from Paypal, Im sure that they might move to something a little less standard.
I too wish they would make a better computer, but for now I continue to use them because they are the only machine that I can work on with little fuss of setup and go.
I have the 2018 model with the "Keyboard" which has been fine because I use a Bluetooth Mechanical keyboard anyway and a BT Mouse. I have a single cable or "Dongle" that supplies power, 3 displays, 5 USB 3.0 type A, 2 USB Type C, a SD Card Reader and Ethernet. Its also Daisy-Chained to an External GPU and temps stay good. When I need to go portable I just unplug a single cable and go.
Its popular, therefore a lot more public, is my guess. Its also pretty easy to pick up for a 'first programming language' so it tends to attract SJW-types.
