Yeah, but the question at hand is why layer it over TCP. SunRPC over UDP is close, but then you push reliability and congestion management into every application.

Well of course once you say "procedure call", people think synchronous. For the sender, asynchronous RPC is just a convenient marshalling and return interface for the sender. It is pretty clunky for the A-RPC caller to create an i

So the question is why hasn't an optimized RPC implementation emerged for the data center that avoids the headaches that come with layering over TCP. Turns out integrating with the control plane is hard at data center scale. When every

Looks like things will be getting ugly Wednesday afternoon. How about hitting the road before that to be ahead of the mess? Monterey and Big Sur are great, but just getting home seems like a better idea. Even if you can't leave Tuesday

It is a stretch of over 200 miles of coastline getting a whole lot of rain. Over the coastal peaks, 6 to 8 inches. And the land is pretty saturated already. But "what part do I misunderstand" kind of requires me guessing what you

A little revisionist since POSIX had its seeds in 1984, which was long before the SVR4 collaboration. Giving DEC, IBM, and HP credit for POSIX is a little odd. They were actually the biggest beneficiaries of the fragmented nature of Unix, w

The airlines frequently have extreme discounts on tourist flights - similar to rail passes you need to buy these before you arrive in Japan. As everyone has mentioned, the trains in Japan are wonderful, but if you get a tourist rail pass yo

Except gross domestic income continues to grow, so either it or GDP is wrong. Maybe the people with a vested interest in making things look bad are driving the dialog.

In 2020, 222 of 435 seats were D, so 51%. The popular vote was 51.5% D, so the D's should have an extra 2 seats. In contrast, 538's analysis shows that the R's have an advantage of 52% of the seats 538 identifies as "lea

The point is that the party has no intrinsic right to a slot in the general election. The WEP can put whoever they wish up to represent them, selected however they wish, in a process funded by their party resources. Then the primary is a vo

As a follow up - If Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Ukraine are related to the 2nd Amendment necessary rebellion theory, then the implication is that the insurgent weapons in those wars are covered by the 2A. Very interesting. A personal right to

Talk to Kodah above about his fantasy league of rebellion. I believe the militia clause actually means state level armed service, such as was common in the various states at the time.

If you believe this, does the 2A give people individual rights to own tanks, missiles, nukes, chemical weapons? If not, why? Where are the limits in the constitution on the types of arms a person can own? This is especially relevant if the

There were draft versions of the 2A that didn't include the militia clause. Saw one on display at the national archives. So it was explicitly added or kept after negotiation.

As Moore's law slows down, fabs will have longer life near the leading edge. So, for example, 45 nm rolled out in 2007. If in 2005 you were crazy enough to try to bootstrap a 32 nm fab, you might have hoped to have the line completed a
