Would this be better than using very large windows in TCP? (I'm really not sure.) Offloading the expensive ordering up to a higher layer protocol to do the same thing is not something that strikes me as an obvious win.

What ever happened to SCTP, anyway?

I'm not sure that's terribly different from ext4's lineage, which is generally accepted (AFAIK) as a pretty good file system, even if not cutting-edge.

Switches dropping TCP packets means slower TCP rather than lost information. This is what TCP is designed to do when it loses packets, it's not related to UDP vs. TCP priority. You can use TCP as this canary as well by monitoring a co

I don't either, but I looked at their home page, and am not really inclined to trust performance claims of someone that uses a graph like the one under "General Benchmarks: Higher is Better" which uses a nice smooth curve to

Yes, this looks normal for a research/academic paper. It isn't a news article. The details are important.

It seems like a pretty good answer to me. If he feels that the code is bad enough that newcomers are unlikely to efficiently be able to work with it and not make it unsafe by making mistakes, he's probably correct.

I assume this is what caused the somewhat strange result of "starship" being underlined as a misspelled word?

Doesn't this only help if github lets you leave ssh connections open and not doing anything for long periods of time? Surely if they do, they won't for too long if lots of people start doing this.

Interesting idea. I've the bash built-in "pushd" and "popd" for a long time for similar reasons, but those effectively limit you to treating the history as a stack rather than an arbitrary list.

<enter>~Ctrl-Z will suspend the ssh session, too. I've also found it useful to do <enter>~C - then you can configure port forwarding without having to open a new ssh session. (~C opens a command line, enter "help"

You say this in a way that implies that it's not feasible to do such a thing. I'm pretty sure that all of those components have been open sourced in various projects, just maybe not all in the same system.

I took a couple of AP courses and got college credit for them (Calculus and Chemistry). I wanted to take AP computer science, but it was dropped since not enough students enrolled in it. Outside of the "saving time/money in college" point,

It's pretty hard to make a good argument against the forward goto method. I have found it handy to refer those who want to continually argue this point to the following CERT article: https://www.securecoding.cert.org/confluence/display/se
