Uh, how about "something" vs. "nothing". Start with QUIC vs. TCP. Same OS, same client/server software. Edit: since the system says "I'm posting too quickly,

Uh, how about "something" vs. "nothing". Start with QUIC vs. TCP. Same OS, same client/server software. Edit: since the system says "I'm posting too quickly, slow down" despite not posting for an hour because they don't use accurate error messages here, let me say : I find it ironic that so many keystrokes below are used in a meta-discussion about the quality of comments here, when others are posed a legitimate question about the topic. Nevermind the article they seem to defend gets the order of a TCP 3 way handshake wrong. And since I can't respond to them, I can only d*wnv*te or fl*g them.

  I wasn't demanding it like the thread-starter was. I was pointing out that a benchmark would be like-for-like and that none of jeffbee's examples made sense.

    > none of jeffbee's examples made sense He gave examples of parameters that are well-known. Either you know Linux is an operating system, or you don't. If you don't know what Linux is, I guess I understand why it "makes no sense". Otherwise, I'd gently remind you that it is rude to pretend someone is unintelligible.

      I'm sorry you got so worked up about my comment, but you are being extremely rude yourself. Read back how you're acting.

        Aw, I'm sorry you feel that way - I hope you feel better soon. Repeating "Uh, " back to you, saying someone makes sense, and saying "gentle reminder, it's rude to pretend someone is unintelligible" isn't rude. Definitely assertive. ;)

    jeffbee's examples are easily searchable. Like search "TCP vs QUIC comparison" and you'll find all variations of comparisons. FWIW you did not point out either thing in your parent comment, you came off as aggressive with your use of quotes, but because the voters on this thread agree with one side's snark over the other well here we are. There's hundreds of benchmarks and papers with benchmarks online. Debating this here is exhausting.

  Heh I saw GP's comment and just rolled my eyes and scrolled past, knowing this was another thread I wasn't going to comment on. As usual all of big tech and standardization committees got this whole thing wrong, nobody on the Internet ever made a benchmark, WordPress is what all sites are on, and there's no mention of intra-DC traffic. Lol HN.

    You are smarter than I, I'm -6 and flagged, and the sneering dismissive demand I parodied is still, at the very least, positive.

      I've just started to accept that the quality of discussion here these days can be really bad. I still hang around or comment here occasionally, bit when I see stuff like this thread I tend to move on.
