Well, all frames actually do have length in the header. It's just not the first byte... it's the lowest 7 bits of the second byte, and possibly more (check the spec). So, if I can read 2 bytes from my buffer, I can get a good idea of the m

The WebSocket protocol works for both small and large messages in a single frame (message based), and also small and large frames in multiple fragments (stream based)... It's capable of being used for both. It's a good idea to restrict fr

They are not totally slipping, but they are slipping in the high end desktop realm. They have not been able to compete with Intel, in terms of high end desktop performance, since the Core 2 arrived. Their first quad core was a train wreck

What do you mean by robust query capabilities? There are different types of values in redis, each with special operations, but you can't really query on the values. If you can model your data with hashes, simple values, and lists, then r

I am no economist... so this is me trying to understand the situation. Doesn't news of imminent economic failure impact the economy negatively? If enough people are afraid to spend, because they are worried about money, then they slowing

Us Netflix users should do everything in our power to show that Netflix reduces piracy. Then, the studios, which own all of the IP, will work out a reasonable deal and we will have a larger streaming library. I don't care if it's true or
