By this way of thinking everything is vital for "security purposes" and you end up with a full autarchy. Food is vital because you can't rely on others to feed your population. And…

Actually it's not universally true that people working closely together know who is competent and who is not. Because you yourself need to be competent to know if others are doing …

Hence it's not rational for an employee who wants to get a promotion to be competent at their work.

another explanation - they did test it in other scenarios but the results were against their hopes so they 'accidentally' omitted such tests in the 'official' test suite. Very comm…

Modern mobile networks use exactly the same protocol to carry voice and data. Because voice is just data. When your call is fading or being intermittent then the packets are being …

SYN flood cookies are probably older than me at this point

You wouldn't force a girl to date you because you know it's not rational. You wouldn't force kids to play with you because it's not rational either. Simple as that. Just because so…

You made a claim that packet loss in mobile networks is not a common occurrence. This claim is patently wrong and anyone with a smartphone can see for themselves.

Everyone who is using a phone knows that what you are saying is not true. Otherwise we would not experience dropped calls, connection resets and mobile data being unavailable. Mobi…

The parent is just moving goal posts. The whole idea behind multiplexing data streams inside a single TCP connection was that in case of a packet loss you don't lose all your strea…

Yeah HTTP/2 push is so great that Chrome removed it. Straight from the horse mouth: "However, it was problematic as Jake Archibald wrote about previously, and the performance benef…

How about latency of the key press? Why Apple II has practically zero latency and your modern monster desktop is visibly lagging in a fucking text editor? Despite Apple II being li…

yes, too much to ask for a multi-trillion company, especially that this company was until recently well known for maintaining crazy level of backward compatibility

It doesn't matter. You can provide the numbers when asked by the proponents of HTTP2/3 'do you have proof of your claim??', they will just turn around and say your real world data …

I didn't assume they are ignorant. I assumed that the are fraudulent. They knew they couldn't really improve existing protocols because it's simply not possible but moved forward a…

Enter IPv6. Same arguments, it's 'only' a matter of implementation. 30 years later still most of the implementations are worse than IPv4.
