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 so is energy. And so on. What is really goin

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 a good job or not. If you are surrounded by incompetent

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 common tactic, you massage your data until y

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 dropped. In such situation packets of your mobile data for i

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 somebody thinks it is actually rational do

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. Mobile networks are unreliable and you can't paper it over

by pi-e-sigma 3y ago
No matter how you try to explain it, trying to force other kids to play with you is not a rational behavior. Rational behavior would be trying to find out why they don't want to play with you and try to do something about it. Would you

They didn't fail. They got their promotions. It's you, the end user, who is left holding the bag. But fear not, HTTP3 is on the horizon and this time it's going to be glorious!

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 streams. But it doesn't work in practice which is not r

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 benefits were often difficult to realize" https:&

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 literally millions times slower than a modern rig.

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 is not valid or that they need peer-revi

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 anyway for personal gain. Just like everything

Enter IPv6. Same arguments, it's 'only' a matter of implementation. 30 years later still most of the implementations are worse than IPv4.
20.
by pi-e-sigma 3y ago
Except it doesn't work in practice and real world data proves it. Multiplexing streams inside of a single TCP connection don't magically make your data link less prone to dropped packets or high latency.

by pi-e-sigma 3y ago
Oh so typical moving goal posts. Once your little project failed to deliver you claim that it wasn't really meant to provide revolutionary improvement.

by pi-e-sigma 3y ago
Yes I do have data. You can have that data, too. Just do the testing yourself.

This limit is completely artificial. Let's limit HTTP/2 to maximum 6 multiplexed streams per connection and see how it fares with HTTP1.1 with 6 TCP connections to the server. All of sudden HTTP1.1 wins :)

But then he got a promotion. So it was a calculated bet that paid off.

cmd.exe can be used with shitload command line utilities and is a full blown scripting language just less powerful than Unix bash. The analogy works just fine.

So again, why HTTP3 is pushed when HTTP2 was meant to be the holy grail? Seems that even Google doesn't consider HTTP2 to be so great.

Not really to be honest. Rational person would know that you can't force someone to like you. Forcing 'friendship' looks more like something an autistic would do.

by pi-e-sigma 3y ago
How could he be 'very rational' and also 'threaten people to become his friends'?

ah OK, I get your point :) It doesn't really matter though because water when liquid doesn't cause any problem when expanding or contracting, its level in a vessel will just slightly change. It's only the ice that can fuck up
