I think ethernet (1500mtu standard) has about 30 bytes of packet routing information per (max) 1500 bytes of data. That works out to 2% minimum. On smaller data packets (less than 1.5kb) it would be a much higher percentage. TLS on top o

reverse dns to catch your dynamic IP changes, and port forwarding/dmz on your modem/router should be all you need if your ISP doesn't block port 80/443. If your ISP does port block (or you don't want to port forward

You can/should also use hardware offloaded queues wherever possible, or look into kernel-bypass networking.

Yeah but you pay for UseNet access separately. Some usenet servers charge extra for access over 100mbps or 1gbps.

The price of 25GbaseT (rj45) is still very high. 10GbaseT (rj45) is coming down very nicely though and some motherboards, routers and high end access points have 10g ports onboard. I think it's actually cheaper to go 40gbps QSFP and

Your max theoretical would be 50MB/s on that connection, so 25MB is not terrible. I think there is some notable overhead on steam (check summing or encryption) as with my 1gbps connection previously I would never get past 100MB/s

Speeds seem to vary based on the game and based on releases, interestingly. Some larger new-releases (Baldur's gate) were only hitting <100MB/s. I imagine it comes down to how loaded up the local steam POP is and maybe even t

I ran about 8TB on my fiber in one month, and no ISP notices to speak of. That's only ~25mbps sustained. You could easily push 500+TB on a 25gbps connection if you were doing something naughty with it, and I'm sure you'd he

Recently moved up to 3gbps bidirectional and had a hell of a time getting 3gbps even with 10gbps network card directly into the 10gbps port on the ISP-provided modem. In addition to this, there are very few services that will actually feed

They would put you on smartscreen/windows defender blacklist if you did this from your desktop app. Really scummy stuff to see (and disappointing to see it). Microsoft recently made edge the only browser that will open email links from

nvidia and amd have already signed contracts to use Intel's fab service (angstrom-class) so it's not unfathomable to consider. AMD did the same when they dropped global foundries and it could be argued that this was the main reas

66 per core does seem a bit odd! maybe 2 are for routing/metadata or something.

Just a shout-out to the STH team (hey Patrick) who have been live blogging literally every presentation and announcement from hot chips. I've been reading up on next gen xeons and google's TPU datacenter architecture all day.

The fact this is not done by members of the dev team is pretty impressive both from the fact that they share this much information freely (on their youtube dev vlog?) and that someone was able to recreate the architecture semi-faithfully wi

First dibs is not exclusivity, they simply were the first to order it and will be the first to receive the initial machines giving them a calendar advantage. I assume these will be made available to Intel Fab customers as well at internally

Is this the one that Intel is getting first dibs on for the next few generations? Looks like these fabrication paradigms generally work on Moore's law for some time before tapering off (S curve to some degree) but the discovery of a n

It's actually very well suited to low level extremely low power embedded systems. The toolkit and dev experience targeting these platforms is actually pretty good DX. 32 bit 4mhz processor with ~64kb of nvram all running off of an indu

Embedded JVM is actually huge/pervasive and runs things as benign as the chip on your credit card.

Are you interfacing with external apps or systems? If you can keep everything INSIDE airtable, it gives a lot of value out of the gate. If you need to tie into it externally, it's a pain in the ass and some things are simply not possi

Nothing pisses me off more than non-devs saying how AirTable is for devs when all the devs I know hate interfacing with it or having to work with it. If you want pretty spreadsheets, cool. If you want to use this as a CMS or CRM, and it ha

As a user of airtable and not a developer of an airtable app/plugin, the api calls are burdensome (dereferencing lookup fields, data types) and if you want to do any serious work on large bases, you hit rate limits/call limits ver

Yes, that would solve the javascript interpreter aspect, but then you need to provide update services and updaters to customers, logic to update, an installer, support for said installer, testing for breaking changes to updates... It'
