While I agree QUIC is a better long term solution[1], saying TCP ordering affects HTTP/2 is misleading. It is true, but it is quite easy to avoid bad behavior by using TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT (also created by Google), to avoid HoL blocking.

At least for me, Google can identify spam calls, but doesn't seem to block them.

That is just a rainbow table, but there are many others. By modifying the chain length, you can make the table as arbitrarily small. The example commands on that site use a chain length of 3800, but it could be raised to 1 million.

Any medium really. Rainbow tables are compressed (by throwing away most of the hashes). The amount you throw away determines how long it takes to crack. For example, A rainbow table might use chain lengths of 10,000. This means that for

Rainbow tables are formed by chains of passwords and their hashes. The rainbow table only includes the ends of the chains, so you can throw away the middle of the chain. Rainbow tables are a tradeoff between storing every hash, and gener

In order to maintain compatibility with other interfaces, they have to return error in several places. Take bytes.Buffer, which return errors even when they are impossible. Same with http.Cookie(). It promises it will only ever be http

Beer is super fattening. Being fat degrades your life (try walking upstairs or sitting comfortably on an airplane). If you can drink beer, or other alcohol without ballooning, I suppose you could say it doesn't affect your life negat

Why not go for the big guns right off the bat? TSan is _amazingly_ good at finding race conditions in multithreaded code. Not only does it tell you the whole stack of the offending line, it also tells you where the thread was started.

I like that it compiles to a single instruction, but lots of languages already have this; it's pretty common. Even boring old Java has had Integer.bitCount for many years.

The right way to think about these kind of things is in terms of responsiveness. For example, when I think of any request intiated by a user, there is a ~200ms budget of time to service that request. If you can shave off a couple hundred

Not to justify this behavior, but to explain: retargeting (a.k.a. remarketing) has very good conversion rates. As long as people keep "converting" based on retargeted ads, they will live on.
