Curious - what’s this court filing?

> QUIC is not bad, but there are places where it either does not work at all or works too slow. Curious: in your experience where does QUIC work bad/slow?

Are there good public examples of well designed APIs that have stood the test of time?

Is it GBps (gigabytes per second) or Gbps (giga bits per second)? I see mixed usage in this comment thread so I’m left wondering what it actually is. The article is consistent and …

We do have a model. That’s statistical physics. Any standard course goes over various derivations of classical physics laws (Newtonian dynamics) from quantum mechanics.

Yep, such ideas have been around. But congestion is a fundamental problem. Admission control is the only way to ensure there is no congestion collapse. The technical issue is that …

In principle, with perfect knowledge of flows at any given instant, you can assign credits/rate-of-transmission for each flow to prevent congestion. But, in practice this is somewh…

OP is referring to "Credit based flow control", which is a way to ensure a sender does not overwhelm a receiver with more data than it can handle. Usually, this is line-rate, but i…

It's also a bit odd that they do not implement congestion control. Congestion control is fundamental unless you only have point-to-point data transfers, which is rarely the case. A…

You can check the example described here: https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/644280/stable-viol... Judea Pearl’s book also goes into the above in some detail, as to why fait…

Honest question: Are there successful cases where a PE takeover has transformed the company that has helped the company's mission?

You are not alone, me too, and several others have noted it and discussed it before. For e.g., Gmail made this change that I absolutely hated and instantly disabled when it was rel…

> to have a tool that is external to the VM (runs on the hypervisor host) that essentially has "read only" access to the kernel running on the VM to provide visibility into what's …

While this is in part a good news, they are still not accepting MV2 extensions to the Chrome Web Store, even as unlisted/private extensions. There is no change to that policy: http…

I suspect that the web server's CPU usage will be pretty high (almost 100%), so C-state tuning may not matter as much? EDIT: also, RSS happens on the NIC. RFS happens in the kernel…

They key takeaway really is that for high performance, the way you think about memory layout, data structures, memory management, etc. all start to really matter. It is possible to…

Although most US markets carry just one type, the Cavendish, you can easily get a few more varieties at various ethnic markets. Pay a quick visit to the Indian/South Asian stores f…
