Are you theorizing a CSMA related motivation or benefit in the Nagle algorithm or is this a tangential anecdote of those times?

There's remarkably little about the costs, given that's the main claim going for it vs the estabilished alternatives.

Yep, it's stupid from a units consistency pov. A bit like using calories instead of joules. But on the other hand we also use hours for measuring time instead of kiloseconds...

Nitpick: In the "static, dynamic, strong, weak" quad, C/C++ are considered weakly but statically typed because you can nonchalantly bypass the type system. In this case you'd need to be pretty explicit about the bypassi

Rooting gets you additional means to reverse engineer the proprietary software system but doesn't automagically lighten the box. It's all relative of course, maybe you view anything you can Ghidra as not-black-box. (though this is

SSD (over nvme) and TCP (over 100gbe) both exhibit low tens of microseconds of latency as the low bound. This is ignoring redundancy for both of course, but the cost of that should also be similar between the two. If the storage is farther

Does this apply also to fossil energy threads? Countries have a major political interest whether other countries use fossil energy, to mitigate the climate catastrophe and ramp down fossils use.

It's just newspeak to call SAFe "Agile". This causes cognitive dissonance and is bad for people. Go read the agile manifesto.

I don't think Clojure belongs there. It was never as big as Kotlin, but it's got great community, longevity and takes backwards compatibility very seriously, and 10 year old Clojure projects seem to be aging at least as well as 1
