Agreed that OP's post is somewhat nonsensical. How can one "absolutely destroy" a dealer who still makes the deal? Making deals is their business--that's the one thing they have to be competent at on the sell side. Ma

Do you find it surprising that some humans enjoy eating very spicy peppers?

I agree you probably won't find a lot of systems that will automatically "fix" a 406 or 422, or that have an ordered list of more than one media type they are willing to accept in followup requests. OTOH I do think it's

IME HTTP 406 is not as uncommon as you imply. Ask a Java/JAX-RS service for accept: foo/bar and 406 Not Acceptable is what you'll probably get.

Isn't that just a function of how you choose to perceive? For example, the water in a river, and our skin cells are constantly replacing themselves, even though it might not seem that way--what I mean is, maybe one's epithelium i

Two spaces are a matter of some debate, in the US, and IME are preferred by academic types. For my own part, I much esteem two spaces, and judge harshly the one-spacers, yet accept without much anger the "ignorable whitespace" r

This seems a strange criticism--of course entries in a map don't disappear for no reason at all. Consider using an atomic cache if you are going to stick so many keys into the map that it becomes an issue. Or else bucket the keys int

The DNS lookup would be of the form "request PTR record for 128.2.1.2" - this would leak a little info from the nearest recursing resolver, but maybe not enough to be useful to an attacker. I suppose Snitch might conceivably use

Yeah--mucking about with .intern for no good reason, or locking on strings in general, shouldn't pass a code review, this reeks of sticking one's fingers in all sorts of places they don't belong. ConcurrentHashMap.computeIfA

I think you are putting Java in the pillory today, for the worst aspects of its ecosystem a decade ago. Outside of perhaps stodgy banks, technical folks are not choosing to run their JVM projects today on Websphere. Gradle is pretty darn n

Just curious, did your cat-tender consent to remote monitoring as part of the contract for service?

Alternately, a resultset-to-object-property and argument mapper with no query building or templating functionality or higher aspirations.

Note that GE used to pay a solid, dependable ~4% dividend--prior to the stock's contemporaneous slide from ~$30 to ~$10.

3% FMV property tax is pretty rough, but do you get a tolerable school system as part of that bargain?

Almost one thousand tons per year still seems like a pretty large number considering the war ended some 75 years ago. How long is the long tail of demining?

What you're describing sounds most like a) badly-written login scripts, or b) misconfigured DNS confounding the client's domain controller locator, or c) both. IME the folks who tinker with login scripts don't tend to think

Yes, but--the gist of my post was that there is no utility (and maybe some negative utility) in trying to pass laws to prevent the NFL, or Hooters, or whoever, from hiring the people they really, really do prefer to hire, all other things e

Prohibiting employers from discriminating against workers under 40 would be not unlike prohibiting the NFL from refusing to employ fast 40-yard runners, or disallowing Hooters from refusing to hire buxom servers. If you'll please forg

This is a weird thread. I too would be interested to know about these uses of UDP that don't use ports to post data to processes (or even traverse NAT I guess?).

by sk5t 7y ago
Nobody's claiming TCP/IP to be based on UDP/IP. I mean to suggest that buffering isn't a proper feature distinction between TCP and unreliable protocols. Separately, it seems a tad obscure to use IP as the exemplar here-

I actually liked .NET async/await because it came with good usable libraries for async RDBMS operations tied into NT IO completion ports, easing a super common bottleneck; compare to other common RDBMS clients that might offer a facade

It's the word "buffer" that threw me. Like, the buffer is a concept on the sending or receiving system and a separate concern from the protocol. That said I am certainly open to learning something new about TCP/IP toda

> IP does not bother with buffering Did you mean UDP? But even if so, this description overall seems way off in the weeds.

Although I can't tell you why, it's been my experience that firing a simple method via reflection in both .NET and the JVM is roughly 2x the time of direct calls (or of calls via the 'dynamic' keyword in C#).
