How slow is async/await?

How slow is async/await?

TL;DR - incredibly slow!

Motivation

I was working on some "framework" type code, where it often makes sense to provide wrappers where the framework accepts a user-defined callback. The sensible default is to accept an async callback since you don't know when the user might need to do any disk/network/etc calls which require an async wrapper.

Problem

Google search has gotten objectively worse with increasing crawling, SEO farming and AI generated bullshit. I believe the only sane solution is to explicitly whitelist websites with known ethical publishing guidelines. I am going to attempt to build a list of sites that I trust for common search contexts.

Developer Results

General search (not focused on a specific technology):

Directus http endpoint integration

The documentation on Directus 9 extensions is scarce. This is a slightly more detailed implementation than the example given.

Notes:

  • router is an express.Router object
  • services is a bunch of getters of available services (see below)
  • database is the knex instance
  • directus.auth.refresh() will throw. It's assumed that the user has authenticated in before calling fetchJson

GoDaddy + LetsEncrypt Certificate Installation

GoDaddy + LetsEncrypt Certificate Installation

Valid as of September 2020

note: if you have shell access and want to automatically renew, follow the steps on this page instead

Much of the current documentation on this from LetsEncryt and Godaddy suggests that this is a very hard thing to do - but I'm okay with spending 10 minutes every 2-3 months for a free, quality SSL certificate. If you are too, here's how I do it.
