dpdk and netmap is really only for applications with cooperating I/O processes. This is because the queue of received packets is shared between all process and any of them can delete any packet. It may not be good for CloudFlare hostin

A fully open system can have a ranking on articles and reviewers (voters). Wikipedia has no ranking on articles and no rankings of contributors/reviewers (at least initially). So these are different systems. I'm convinced that ran

arxiv is not open. At least not as open as it should be in my opinion. But I fully agree on the chicken-or-egg problem. The main problem is bootsrapping such web service. I don't think that "anoiting" a forum/web service

I'm enclined to think that an open review process by using a web system with a space for open discussion/commenting could be a good system. This wasn't possible before the web. Actual system is publish or not, but it is possi

I didn't downvote you. I think your comments respect the standard of Hacker News. They offer me the opportunity to express and justify my current understanding. I shouldn't have qualified your comment as stupid. My bad.

Avoiding the logic of tcp stack processing does indeed come into play. My colleague process data sent through a tcp connection in a LAN. So he basically ignores all the tcp header of the incomming data. He simply checks the source ip. He wi

I'm not sure. My colleague explained me that the main gain came from avoiding to do a malloc in kernel space and a data copy. But it's true also that many small reads in a single block implies many system calls. I don't know

My reference to the american continents is what in science is called a demonstration by analogy. What about dark matter ? Is that mental gymnastic ? This is pure rational and objective logic. Prove me wrong on anything and I will be glad to

It looks indeed like that, but I don't know. I can't make an enleightened judgment on a newspaper article. Regarding peer review article, it's not always easy. Referees need a way to verify the seriousness of the study and, w

Downvoting is for inappropriate content relative to HackerNews standards, not if you dislike the answer.

I don't see what justify the claim that he ignores the process of creating new diagnosis. You seam to ignore that the identification of new mental illness always start by one or more psychiatrists describing cases that don't fit i

This is a totally wrong perception of the universe we live in. The reality is that our knowledge of the universe is limited by the horizon of our perception. In the years 1400 the existence of the american continents was not yet known becau

This is a very irrational and stupid stand point. This psychiatrist may have studied and described a new type of mental illness. Why would you want to censor such study and prevent this scientist to do any psychiatrist work ? For what reaso

I couldn't have said it as well. I would add that referring to it as demonic posession is using one possible interpretation among others of the reported facts to identify the phenomenon. This might exacerbate skepticism.

The core functionality required is a "zero copy" networking lib : dpdk, netmap. Normally, when the kernel recieves data from the network, it allocates a block in the kernel and copy the data into it. Then your read operation copie

Toxic is relative. This is like aceton, some material will melt in contact with it and others don't. So when someone say you are toxic, don't take it for some absolute property you have. When someone say that about you, in the con

It depends on the content type. It would make sense for reddit or hacker news. Beside it's only rarely truly infinite.

Einstein was very lucky that the chief editor of Annalen der Physik was Max Planck [1] who was a really smart and open minded scientist. He would have had a huge red flag I guess. We are missing such types of editors and scientists. [1] ht

There is another bias in your analysis. You assume that an author of a theory will always submit his article to a peer review journal. You deduce that if he doesn't, it implies that the article was rejected. This is wrong logic. People

I disagree on your logic that discredit articles not published in high ranked peer review journals. First this assume that peer review is unbiased which is wrong. There are subjects that will be rejected because they are simply too controve

Regarding the number of publications in high ranked scientific journals, I would like to add that the main professional activities of Prof. A. Meessen were pedagogic. 1. He gave lessons to the Physics students; 2. He created and managed a p

The theory of Prof. Aguste Meessen published well before Wu's article in Nature already explains ball lightning as a plasma bubble [1]. It is surprizing that Wu didn't reference this work in its introductory review. In its most si
