That's the answer, almost all of QUIC is encrypted for privacy and protection against meddling middleboxes and protocol evolution. ACKs can be done in many ways which should enough reason for them to be protected so middleboxes doesn&#

U+241E is "SYMBOL FOR RECORD SEPARATOR". It seems a bit weird to use that as a separator instead of simply U+1E which is the ASCII character "record separator".

I'm just guessing here. Current technology uses all sorts of tricks to focus/manipulate/use 193nm light so that you can build something smaller than the size of wavelength. However many of these tricks don't work with EU

In addition, I pretty sure many European keywords can type µ by alt-gr+m, at least in Windows on my Danish keyword. Only know that because once I had a keyword were they actually had printed it on the key, just like they always do with € on

When you say safe alternatives, you mean ASCII right. You should think about looking into something which also understand the characters a bit better. For example å,æ,ø can mostly be turned into aa,ae,oe for danish and norwegian. Just turni

It is my impression that LLVM has matured quit a bit since unladen swallow. Not least in the JIT domain. A lot of unladen swallows development was spent on improving LLVM and not on implementing Python as fast a possible. I seem to recall t

On the other hand, inline test does make it easier to write tests while writing the function. Besides many well-written programs already contains inline documentation (not comments) that can be a lot longer than the function they describes.

FLAC would probably be a bad example, since it is lossless. It makes fewer assumptions about the content of the audio file, since it anyway has to encode all of the noise and minor stuff. Making too many assumptions of the content would onl

SPDY requires that you run it inside TLS. Within the already existing TLS handshake the client and server can advertise that they support SPDY instead of HTTP. The way you describe it comes of as more complicated?! Of the things to note is

Related is the term x32, which is an architecture (from the point of view of the Linux kernel) for x86-64 code designed to run in 0x86-64 32-bit mode. Why would you do this? Given that you never use 4 GB of memory, you can save a few bytes
