That time never actually existed. Microsoft, IBM, Apple, Facebook... and practically every large business since Rockefeller and before, did everything in their power, including regulatory capture, to hobble their competition. It's the

Too bad there's nothing about threaded / parallel execution.

It's more like it's closer to the baser parts of human nature to put self-interest first. We might talk "left or right" till the cows come home but I'm fairly certain that when push comes to shove, we'll find m

It really, extremely depends on how you define "progressive" and then you get to the left Vs right narrative which inspired this article. To oversimplify greatly to the point of banality, if rich person A says "I'll be o

Too bad Google's own page describing Pagespeed and Lighthouse fares abysmally on their own tests. ( https://imgur.com/a/56FVOwK ) I'm sick and tired of Google playing the role of the global regulator of what&#x

Which is a bit bizarre because FeeeBSD jails were world's first containers on a vaguely desktop-ish unix-ish systems. The crowd just never had the hype power of Linux and no big player took to developing cool things on top. It just sho

Could it mean that gender was something so obvious and useful as a concept that early people, while trying to figure out the world around them and how it all fits together, just naturally extended the idea to just about everything? It doesn

Huh... why would there need to be something new for JavaScript in 2019? At this point, it looks like they might as well import the Java syntax and call it "JavaScript fusion" and be done with it.

Cool project! But there's an attitude attached which amuses me: > Toshi will always target stable Rust and will try our best to never make any use of unsafe Rust. While underlying libraries may make some use of unsafe, Toshi will ma

Condolences to Mr. Li's family. Because it's a huge project with so many eyes on it, Linux's transition to the next generation of developers will probably be The textbook case on the viability of large human endeavours in gen

This is all ridiculously country- and culture- specific. For example many places in Europe have adopted what I think is originally a German idea that anything vaguely technical, if done professionally, is engineering. So you have "engi

That's basically the original observation of NLP (no, not that one) - that people often literally express their mental state through language on a non-trivial level, and IMO still one of the better things which make it worth studying.

And the sad thing is, if it takes hundreds of millions of years to evolve an intelligent species, as far as we know there is absolutely no way we can leave a message to the ones who could presumably come after us. Even choosing a location o

I can't be the only one who's annoyed by language writers introducing arbitrary uncommon syntax apparently just for the sake of doing something new? Lua's great little language but writing ~= instead of != is simply annoying.

First actually useful and technical answer I've seen in this thread. But... which use cases of HTTP need us timers? It's not like gmail or other bloated web apps will load faster on my phone because of QUIC?

by ivoras 8y ago
The need for maintaining flow control still exists, both in QUIC and TCP, it doesn't just vanish. Also, big(ish) routers are aware of TCP and can adapt as the load changes. They literally won't know what to do with a huge increase

Probably the "it's not userland" syndrome. Apparently, moving things to the userland is the new black.

by ivoras 8y ago
But moving the solution away from TCP into something new (in this case userland UDP-based QUIC) would make sense if (and probably only if) the overhead of QUIC connections + request bookkeeping is lower in memory and CPU usage (ideally both

Ok, so there have been literally decades spent in managing and optimising TCP to behave in various network conditions, from modem lines to multi-gigabit fiber, in all kinds of congestion conditions, lossy-ness, and other hairy edge cases of

Hmm, does it really have only 16 KiB of RAM or am I misinterpreting the spec? What would be the use case for a 320 MHz processor with 16 KiB RAM? Even ESP8266 has 80 KiB and runs at 80 MHz.
