   Are you crazy?! You have a money-making machine there: just do the opposite of what you'd normally do!

   My impression was that the pre-change cancellation rate was based on all customers over the lifetime of the product (they did calculate the 61 day average from this), whereas the post-change was only for the new customers in the last two mo

   If the average time to cancel is 61 days, and they waited only 2 months since the changes to calculate the new cancellation rates, it stands to reason that the cancellation rate will rise over the next few months, right? Assuming a normal d

   Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I understand TCP enforces packet order and works really well for large transfers etc. But when writing a game where people interact in "real time" through their browser via websockets, anything to get TCP latency

   Sorry I didn't read your comment properly. If nothing else works, maybe you can develop with a Linux VM with a platform that already has a good websocket server (say, node.js), and host on any VPS. Good luck.

   This and fact IE/Opera do not have websocket implemented, makes me come back to good old Flash technology See socket.io for something even better.

   Thanks, I spent some time trying to figure out how I could configure this retransmission timeout. The SACK solution you describe sounds like a great idea. Is that the optimum solution though? Could one, say, have two TCP connections and sen

   How so? I'm really curious, do you have any links detailing the upcoming availability of UDP in the browser?

    Yes, the factored version is much clearer. Though you want to make sure the refactored version is equivalent, which it isn't in your case due to a change of order.

    This is a cognitive problem. I also read you as doing a "double-take", even though you clearly wrote "triple-take". Another cognition issue. The unthinking mind reacting automatically without consulting our conscious. The solution is obviou

    Sure, except if you've worked with full web pages made of tables throughout, you know how they usually suck in terms of maintenance and how hard it is to make changes. It's also just a lot more boilerplate compared to doing it "the right wa

    Can you please name this dental appliance? There is also a relatively minor surgery where silicon is embedded to prevent airway collapse (a common cause of sleep apnea).

    Thanks for the film recommendation. In a similar vein, I'd recommend Kevin Kelly's book, Out of Control: The New Biology of Machines, Social Systems, & the Economic World , which deals a lot with complexity of large systems and their p

    Unfortunately, worse is better. Sigh. Here's to VPRI/STEPS changing things sometime in the next 30 years, as much of a longshot that is.

    That works less well for games than other applications. Unit testing isn't always appropriate.

    The problem with that is "Worse is Better". And there's just so much momentum behind current technologies, that switching seems almost unimaginable to most. Can you imagine not having Unix-like systems, and not being able to use C and all t

    vixen99 is saying you can't be a little unique, or very unique, but simply unique. Just as nobody is "slightly pregnant". No need to be insulted, though you may disagree with the assertion.

    by ehsanu1 15y ago

    That is pedantry. I understand your point, but when people say something is "very" unique, they mean it's not common, or is unusual in some way. "Slightly unique" makes little sense, but "somewhat unique", while somewhat awkward, can mean
