I wish the mandated minimum MTUs of IP were just a bit bigger. Ubers traffic must be so transactional, they could really just use individual UDP packets for most messaging.

True, that could work, and the two frames are probably very similar, so wouldn't even require that much more bandwidth. As someone here pointed out, however, the game controller is connected to the cloud directly, so the display doesn&

That would make the delay much worse if you mis-predict the users action. Games would also have to add additional 100ms lag for all important events.

Well, IoT never was a customer term, it was an industry term. And just because something keeps working without the internet doesn't mean it cannot benefit from connectivity.

The problematic pattern I see here is whenever you manage remote state, your local guarantees about how that state changes just don't work. You would love to have the abstraction of a standalone texture and be able to pass it around as

That's a bit antithetical, given the other side of the debate being Retained Mode GUIs. That said it's a good middle ground. Use whatever API you prefer over a well optimized implementation.

Where do you store pointers to textures? Or do you upload textured to the GPU every frame? What about scroll positions an other non application state?

On the same connection with the NOTIFY-er? I probably misunderstand somethings. Can you point to the part in the documentation that states this? That would defeat the purpose of it entirely. Edit: In fact the second sentence in the document

Because of the way brk works it is not possible to have 2 different memory allocators to use it in the same process. Since malloc() in libc uses brk, no language with C bindings can use brk. Does this mean basically most allocators other th
