Uh no, Google is an advertising company. You know the terrible full page creepy ads taking over mobile that make the internet almost unusable and you can't block? Google is responsible for that. With Google Jobs you're the product

How long will it be until employers can look up all the information Google has about me? More importantly, how long will it be until users will be expected to give access to their "likes, skills, and interests" for targeted recrui

Eh, acetone smells gross but I can understand why they weren't too concerned about it. It's one of the strongest solvents out there that's actually fairly safe biologically. It's really volatile and humans can smell it d

There's plenty of categories of products where the difference between high and low quality is nebulous, wine being maybe the most famous example. But beats is not one of them. Holding them up to another $200 pair of headphones and list

beats are built REALLY badly, look at any of the teardowns. They also use garbage no-name drivers that are identical to what you get in $20 headphones, again look at the teardowns.

Most devices still encode and decode far more H264 and JPEG than newer generations. We shouldn't be stuck with the horse and buggy because we're waiting for cars to be autonomous. WebP is superior to JPEG and the most widely avail

Isn't this just doing the same exact thing as iptables only worse since it's not transparent to the operating system? I've created bad firewall rules by mistake many times and enforcing them transparently so the machines can&

Nokia owns several HEVC patents, in fact I think they're currently suing apple about it. This is a veiled attempt to get everyone to use their patented tech so we can relive the mp3/mp4 clusterfuck. You would be a fool to use this

Lead levels are only elevated in certain areas. Getting clean water might be as easy as your neighbor's hose. Flint authorities weren't treating the water properly and it corroded the pipes in some areas. Lead levels were expected

They might look terrible but the utilities work. Biggest differentiator in 3rd world is poverty AND non functioning government. The water, sewer, and electricity work well enough to be relied upon even in the poorest most remote parts of th

I second this. Powershell syntax is almost as bad as Bash. I have no idea why they didn't just make a command-line version of C#, it's a far better designed language.

Scala has the same problem as java. Too many different opinions on how to do things. Too much cruft and ways to shoot yourself. I see Kotlin as a clean-up job of a lot of syntax design flaws in java.

JetBrians is possibly the best company on the planet to implement syntax improvements to Java, which is basically what Kotlin is. They have deep experience with the syntax of a bunch of different languages. They know what Java is missing be

If you disagree with javascript losing dominance I guess you could say so. It's really just a way to make it easy to run whatever language you want in the browser in a cross-platform compatible way. I don't see this as a bad thing

Java applets were far too ahead of their time. Now that we actually have the bandwidth and computing power to support Applets they would be far superior than the Frankenstein of CSS, JS, and HTML we have now.

It's not the overall objective but that's exactly the objective of a lot of people rooting for it. Think of how many people would be pissed off if they said "we're gonna try to replace javascript". Google did that w

You might be right about C++/Rust but I hear constant complaints from C#, Java, and Go devs about JS. It feels like about half of them would jump ship immediately given another choice. The truth is that even with all the advancements J

Yes. CoDel/AQM can only help bufferbloat if you control the bottleneck. However it's possible to artificially make your router the bottleneck if you get really steady bandwidth. BBR only helps TCP but will help prevent bufferbloat

right you are! My apologies, my familiarly with CoDel is limited to the Linux implementation

Realistically, as soon as WASM is a good alternative to JS a good part of websites won't use a single line of JS. Regardless of arguments for and against whether this is a good idea, market pressure to open floodgates to other language

The generalish difference between JS and native code languages like C is about 10X. This varies from around 2X to 50X depending highly on what you're doing. WASM should run at native speeds minus some special CPU instructions like vect

CoDel is packet scheduling. It just dynamically creates "classes" for each flow to determine which ones are overfilling the buckets and selectively drops from those streams. I try to talk about these things in a way that's ea

It's not trolling. It's a legitimate warning and they can choose to ignore the chorus to their own peril. The warnings get louder as they get more resistant to changing their name. Keeping the name for whatever reason IS going to

JWT docs aren't accurate. Also why not just store JWT in the cookie? It's pretty trivial to use JWT in a cookie and do a sliding refresh on server side when its close to expiring. You can use JWT this way with zero code on the cli

By default, Windows machines use the algorithm NewReno. Older algorithms like NewReno are known for causing horrible buffer-bloat in comparison to algorithms like VEGAS which is used in Linux. The reason is pretty simple. The two main metri

They are different beasts :), and yes it's very important to understand both because they work in different ways. Most people that know of CoDel think it's a panacea for buffer-bloat on their LAN but BBR is actually much more like

by throwasehasdwi 9y ago
CoDel is different from the packet scheduling algorithm even though both fight bufferbloat in different ways. CoDel is a congestion control algorithm for controlling what happens when outgoing buffers start overflowing. This is on a lower l

Everyone has been waiting for newer Java versions forever. The companies on the community board keep waffling around and trying to add more bloat to a spec that's already wildly late.
