os.execute blocks the rest of the code during execution, which in most cases would not be a problem, as wakatime tends to clean itself up fast. However, on lower end connections, it freezes for quite a while, and quite often, creating an unpleasant experience.
My solution makes it to where the actual command to send heartbeats is handled in the background, so os.execute finishes instantly, even if wakatime takes a little bit.
