`dup` and `read` returns -1 on error and set the `errno` variable. If they were redesigned, they should just return `-errno` on failure.

Put the original return value in a pointer argument, and return errno (or -errno).

Most of the POSIX functions that use errno for error signaling simply return 0 for success and -1 for error. They could have returned errno directly.

You have a rosery view of the board. I on the hand believe that the it was the intention of the board to sell that ridiculous plan. The CEO was a scapegoat, or rather, he was going to leave anyway, so he took the blame in place of the other

The default congestion control is CUBIC, which is very slow for connections between China and the rest of the world. Google's BBR is a great improvement, and sometimes I use "brutal" congestion control, which is basically a c

As a Chinese user who regularly breaches the GFW, QUIC is a god send. Tunneling traffic over a QUIC instead of TLS to breach the GFW has much lower latency and higher throughput (if you change the congestion control). In addition, for those
