That's not it, but it'd be pretty effective to paint the other side as ridiculous with an incomplete picture. Check who wrote this piece. My best guess is Winnie the Pooh was a hint that prompted people to look for more political

Parsing itself doesn't need jitting but as soon as you start to use the parsed data to interface with some typed containers the data plumbing consumes much more time than parsing does and drags down all the optimization. For parsing to

I'm not sure what you mean by arbitrary? What parsing in this case means e.g. turning a string of digits into a ieee754 float number in memory. I think this project is meant to accelerate this part with SIMD, but a greater improvement

If you're working with json objects with sizes on the higher end quite often you're not going to need the entirety of them, just a small part of them. If that is the workload what then to do is simply parse as little data as possi

The west has fiscalised its basic power relationships through a web of contracts, loans, shareholdings, bank holdings and so on. In such an environment it is easy for speech to be "free" because a change in political will rarely l

Empathy is unnecessary in this case. I would frame it as entertaining a thought without accepting it, as in Aristotle's educated mind. Moralizing is an easy to way to stop thinking and settle in a comfortable narrative, a cop-out so on

There's 0RTT but once the connection setup cost is amortized by preconnects and multiplexing being 0 or 1 RTT is not that important to justify its engineering ugliness.

You're basically describing attaching an h1 to h2 adapter behind the existing QUIC to h2 adapter with HTTP/1 as the intermediary protocol, which is a simplification for both sides. Of course that will not be that complex. But the

A QUIC to h2 adapter is probably very complex to implement in a fully compliant way since both protocols are highly stateful. gRPC has a Cronet transport which again has experimental support for QUIC. I don't think it's reached pr
