The examples don't sound like such contradictions. Foir exasmplke you can be for social programs even if you think they are somewhat inefficient. You can for cutting spending (eg military) while supporting infrastructure programs too.

Another side of this is that we don't really have supercomputers anymore, just piles of PC servers with fast network cards - which are called supers for pr reasons. Supercomputer vendors mostly went bust in the 90s because it got too e

Singling out Greece's creative accounting in Euro accession as the main problem is blaming the victim here. A lot of the countries did it to some extent, the EU turned a blind eye. And most of Greece's budget deficit happened only

The mechanism by which Germany has benefited at the expense of other Euro countries is the large trade surplus vs exchange rates. Normally a big country's currency will appreciate once they start running prolonged large trade surpluses

The lead-in wasn't talking about UDP. And the article is specifically showing you how to use the multiple-packets-per call APIs (sendmmsg et al) and hitting 350 kpps with simeple single-threaded code and UDP. Then 1.4 Mpps with tuning

Where does the funny 50 kpps per core idea in the lead-in come from? This would mean falling far short of 1 gigE line rate with 1500 byte packets! This is is trivially disproven with everyday experience of anyone who's run scp over his

The disaster is that app developers can't rely on their users being on the internet in the sense of end-to-end addressability in developing new applications. This has major chilling effects on less centralised types of applications, an

They probably make a reasonable amount of roaming money from business or government travellers with company phones who don't care about getting billed €30/day on their short trip with expensive hotels and flights.

The iOS WKWebView component available for apps does have a "user scripts" feature in principle lets you do adblocking and other content-munging addons. But yes it's not a given, might be hard to provide a compatible/full

Addons work in Firefox. I always wonder why that doesn't bring users flocking to Firefox en masse on mobile. Hopefully not a long wait for iOS users, Mozilla just did a "limited beta" blogpost a couple of days ago.

How about the works of some famous programmers? Fabrice Bellard, Richard Stallman, etc. But yeah I'd too like to see a list of videos about good programmers at work. Anyone have good recommendations or links to playlists? One I've

PostgreSQL predates MySQL by some 10 years. Or 15 years if you start counting from InnoDB, MySQL was really a toy before that.

Don't buy the "Android is open source" whitewashing. They just do code drops of some parts as open source where it suits them, but keep large parts as closed source when profitable/convenient. And the open source parts a

S3 will normally provide ample bandwidth, but in some situations there's a local shared downlink that is the bottleneck. For example in asset heavy multiuser VR or game apps used by many people in same location. By only including the n

Are there easy to use multiplartform BT libs around that would let you use this just for high bandwidth, nearby peers? Eg filter peers by latency as a first pass.

Well, this lets the attacker jump to neighbouring VMs. So unless there's some extra SELinux magic going on, the protections get you so far as "OK only all my virtual machines are compromised" which is very small consolation f

It's not quite that simple. For example FaceTime claims to exchange session keys peer-to-peer without revealing them to Apple. It's no big deal to do technically. Of course Google/Apple still would have the power to backdoor

Is there reason to think that the two-party system emerged accidentally from the voting system? (Nit: You mean "first past the poll" or something, not "one person one vote")
