Admittedly mobile was a bit of an afterthought and I only tested it on 4 devices. What device are you using?

What DiThi said (read his excellent post) There's also another important detail. Due to delayed ACKs on Windows and battery-preserving TCP stacks on most mobile devices/laptops, some of your packets will be delayed. Even with TCP_

Are you using Chrome? Gamepad API is a bit buggy on 62.x

Everything is running smoothly so it's not the HN effect. Might I ask what OS/Browser/ISP are you using?

That is up to your keyboard hardware. Unfortunately, most consumer level keyboards can't handle that.

I will definitely do a write-up but you're right. It's really hard to find info on any of that online. A lot of trial and error.

Nothing too fancy. Just proper devops and a lot of testing. https://i.imgur.com/oSwGgFA.png

Just plain ol' Websockets. But with a twist. I use 2 WS connections mirroring some packets on both, to deal with head-of-line blocking.

Safari on iOS is generally buggy. WebGL and WebAudio are very glitchy. I don't have a BT KB so I didn't test that case. Will do!

PIXI.js for the graphics. Serverside is mostly Node.js.

Let's Encrypt is great. I would like to see native ECC support and a more stringent validation mode that allows more than 3 months of certificate lifetime.

3 motors. Some kind of torque vectoring deal in the rear wheels? Like the Electric AMG SLS.

A legitimate usage case would be opening a login popup on another domain that can't be iframe'd. For example OAuth social network login popups. They require window.opener to send back login credentials to the original website.

What prevents the hardware offloading from being used on public interfaces? Even if microsecond-level jitter reduction on public networks is negligible this should reduce CPU load in high PPS deployments, right?

I was hoping to see v8 6.2 make into the LTS but apparently it will be merged into a future 8.x release in a few months from now. v8 6.2 fixes a lot of Turbofan related regressions, for example: for in object performance [1] [1] https:&#x2

This mirrors my experience as well. Try having a relatively simple piece of code exhaust all available memory because CS was kind enough to turn a simple loop into a clusterfuck of epic proportions all because you forgot to return null on a

Being in the same physical location doesn't mean they have the same connectivity though. With colo cages, once you get big enough you get to choose your upstream providers. I get 15 ms better ping to Frankfurt Linode compared to Vultr,

This is my experience as well with Adobe CC. At least 10 different daemons, some of them instances of node.js constantly connecting to adobe-owned IPs. Some of them even using very high amounts of CPU. Turning everything off from the CC set

No they wouldn't, since its internal state is different than the output. Same goes for SHA-224 and SHA-384.

Is this length extending [1] the already existing Google attack? [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Length_extension_attack Edit: yes, looks like it is. As sp332 and JoachimSchipper mentioned, the novelty here is that i

This requires the addition of random garbage in the first file which someone will detect anyway. Why not release an infected file with a timebomb malware instead of colliding SHA1? Much cheaper. Still, none of this allows you to attack an a

None of what you mentioned is affected since this is a collision attack. They purposely created 2 files with the same hash. Creating a file with the same hash as legit file is a preimage attack and is much more difficult to perform (many or
