It’s a nerd story about short timeouts. Effectively a what is the speed of light or electricity in copper and over infrastructure. It’s a joke that doesn’t make any sense because 3ms was clearly bullshit devised for example. Don’t think about it too hard, it doesn’t suddenly snap into anything meaningful.
- vidarh 1y agoWhy do you think it's "clearly bullshit"? connect() will take time. Either you then fail on reiceiving EINPROGRESS, or you attempt a select() with 0 for the timeout, which will also take time. That that time could add up to 3ms on a mid-90's system also used for other things seems entirely plausible to me.
