I feel you, but you may be helping Facebook by leaving your profile alive. I’d guess that vertices in their social graph hold value, regardless of the content present. The more vertices, the more ads served, the more revenue Facebook brings

So true, it’s impossible to see what I truly want to see on FB and LinkedIn - updates from people that I care about in reverse chronological order!

Err, yes, totally. EE definitely not required.

Do you mean you were using MQTT over websockets before, and you've since moved to pure MQTT (still over TCP), without websockets in between? Are you sure websockets were the cause of your network bandwidth issues?

Fascinating. After first taking a crack at learning about this stuff decades ago, I still have trouble retaining it to the degree that I can succinctly explain its profoundness. This article does a great job at doing just that, and reigniti

Ah, I agree with you. I simply meant it’s our individual problem in that it’s not the devices causing it, it’s our ability to be distracted in the first place. Collectively, we share the same problem as humans. Poor wording on my part.

by ramzyo 9y ago
I agree. Still our issue and our issue alone as individuals. Nobody’s forcing anybody to use something designed to steal their attention. And if someone is being forced to in a work environment, that sounds to me like a cultural issue, not

Exactly, well said. As humans we’re excellent at blaming pretty much anything else (Slack, email, telephone, telegram, anything really) for what is our own and only our own inability to focus.

The author (OP?) positions the article to blame Slack as the root cause of productivity ills. However, multiple times it’s pointed out that Slack in and of itself isn’t the problem, but can simply exacerbate other root cause issues if misus

Meh, sure, for a smaller team, but I have a hard time agreeing with this explanation when a company has a $20 billion valuation.

>> “Our valuation and size today are much more based on our energy and spirituality than it is on a multiple of revenue.” This is their CEO being quoted. If this isn’t Silicon Valley pixie dust I don’t know what is.

What a great quote, thanks for sharing!

No problem, thanks for clarifying! So basically the benefit to the TCP NACK approach is that the TCP layer will also do a sort on the packets received?
138.
by ramzyo 9y ago
I think we’re operating on different definitions of in-order and as received. TCP delivers packets in order, but perhaps not as received, if it had to request retransmission of a dropped packet. UDP delivers packets in order that they were
139.
by ramzyo 9y ago
Right, but UDP also presents what it receives in order - so what's the advantage of forcing TCP to behave this way? I struggle to think of a practical use case where either a) UDP or another protocol wouldn't be selected [e.g. in
140.
by ramzyo 9y ago
I'm not sure I understand the distinction. How could TCP guarantee that packets will be received in order without re-transmissions? Re-transmission is a mechanism for making this a guarantee. If the receiver just ACKs everything it get

Err, huh? I use the scribble feature (not voice) on the Apple Watch to compose iMessages all the time.

Out of curiosity, why not use make for something so simple instead of a Shell script?

Out of curiosity, why did you not choose make to do this?

M-series cores are not affected, but the M4 and M7 cores do implement branch prediction (you're correct that they don't do OOE). See http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.... >&g

by ramzyo 9y ago
Yeah, M-Series aren't made for things like smartphones. They're primarily IoT and Automotive focused, and the M0 and M0+ variants are positioned as 8 and 16-bit microcontroller replacements. Vendors typically don't add DDR SD
