WebSockets over TCP is probably always going to cause problems for streaming media. WebRTC over UDP is one choice for lossy situations. Media over Quic might be another (is the future here?), and it might be more enterprise firewall friendl

I wouldn't define it as Sans-IO if you take an IO argument and block/wait on reading/writing, whether that be via threads or an event loop. Sans-IO the IO is _outside_ completely. No read/write at all.

Ok, pipelining as in using the fact that the socket is bidirectional, so you queue up the next request before the previous response has arrived? Sounds a bit dodgy, since any response could potentially contain a Connection: Close. Maybe ok

I assume with HTTP/1.1 this would be less useful, since each synchronized request would require another socket, thus hitting potential firewalls limiting SYN/SYN-ACK rate and/or concurrent connections from the same IP. In som

One thing I toyed with, but didn't get very far, was to encode the HTTP/1.1 protocol as a Sans-IO state machine with .await points for the IO, but rather than the IO registering Wakers with an async runtime, it relinquished contro

I think the important thing is that the semantic index tracks all you do through all your apps.

"Semantic Index" sure is a better name than "Recall". Question is whether I can exfiltrate all my personal data in seconds?

The article says "the government has called the bill “fundamentally flawed”, but there may be sufficient House support to turn it into binding legislation" Sounds like Trudeau is not the problem in this instance?

What are the chances this survives a court challenge? Story: In a previous life I worked as a consultant in Sweden. My employer had a clause like this in the employment agreement. I quit and joined a company that technically was a client. M

I've spent lots of time in India. It's good to learn what the mosquito that can carry Dengue looks like. They are smaller and fly much faster and more erratically than a common mosquito – way harder to swat! If they settle down, y

This style of reporting is so irritating. Surrounding facts and statistics in a heart felt drama of suffering and human angle. Of course I feel for Sonja Bingham, but if I'm trying to get my head around the consequences of Harm Reducti

For me the A380 is the most comfortable. I'm slightly scared of flying, and turbulence making the entire plane jump around makes it that much worse. I'm only speculating, but I think it might be the sheer bulk of the A380 making i

Didn't the Victorians (and people before that) rewrite Shakespear all the time to fit the current vibe? Roald Dahl also changed his own books so they would stay current.

You will adjust without even realizing. You'll change your pitch to sound right in relation to everyone around you. This probably means that in practice your finger is slightly up or down depending. It is also a reason why when playing

I don't get it. "Instead of learning jq DSL, learn zq DSL". To me they look similarly complicated and the examples stresses certain aggregation operations that are harder to do in jq (due to it being stateless).
