   Server-side there is no difference between a different context per TCP connection for a HTTP1 server and a different context per HTTP2 stream within a HTTP2 server. If anything the HTTP2 requires more state due to the nesting nature of the

   Given the alternative, switching to a new protocol, requires much more code changes than fixing bad implements of the old protocol, your argument falls quite flat.

   In real life you cannot achieve that level of failure transparency without specifically building your application for it. If request N goes to server A, then request N+1 from the same session goes to server B, most likely that request will

   Limitations of certain implementations are irrelevant. The protocol does not have any such limitation.

   Kubernetes makes everything slow and complicated. Why do you even need to have proxies or load balancers in between? Another invention of the web cloud people.

   There is already a global agreement that the US keeps getting out of. China has already solved their problem and significantly improved air quality in its cities, and is the world biggest builder of nuclear power plants. They ceased being a

   HTTP/2 or /3 were never about optimizing bandwidth, but latency.

   HTTP/1 doesn't have head of line blocking, only HTTP/2 does.

    I cannot vote for any of the top contributers to pollution. In my country people aren't stupid and do embrace reasonable and managed use of natural resources, regardless of party.

    It's not up to individuals to fix it. Your impact is nothing. Cars matter very little in the big picture as well -- it's a distraction to blame the little people. The vast majority of pollution is caused by industrial processes. T

    Why would anyone worry about things they have no control on? People that overestimate the value of their opinions, maybe.

    Not everyone else, just Google and other HTTP/2 apologists.

    HTTP/1 remains the one with the highest bandwidth. No surprise here.

    While it takes some inspiration from the naming of the C++ standard library, it's done so inconsistently, and the implementation is pretty much nothing like it. It's just a C framework, and not nearly as high quality as say, Glib.

    I forced myself to use it recently, I mostly found it to be both limited (cannot have part of a link in bold or italics) and inconvenient (each line of inline code must be indented).

    It's not that difficult to be faster than MKL when you write the benchmarks. MKL is a general-purpose library, it does compromises to be good for most sizes. If you care about the performance of specific sizes, you can write code to be

    any of the polyhedral frameworks is reasonably good at splitting loop nests into parallelizable ones. Then it's just a codegen problem. But yes, ultimately, the user needs to be aware of how the language works, what is parallelizable a

    The cloud is just a crappier version of a datacenter built around the notion that you can make users captive to your services and make them pay hardware for 3 times its price. It does not lead to better source versioning systems.

    Same in C++: happens at the end of the scope. You precisely control where that is.

    With the same argument you couldn't upgrade the compiler at all. Thankfully the Linux kernel development relies on testing instead.

    by mgaunard 3y ago

    I'm not aware of any toolchain limitations; making the kernel compile as C++ is doable with a few trivial patches, and the kernel already is heavily GCC-specific, which supports both C and C++ to the same level.

    I think you must be from the 90s -- if so can you share your time machine? All kinds of major projects switched to C++ already, for example GCC. All the major new projects, for example LLVM, are also in C++ from the get-go. Even the Linux k

    C++ is already a better C. So much so that new revisions of C are just backporting features at this point.
