But the data width is the least of concerns anyway. You should realize a 15 bit computer can compute everything a 32 bit can? The bigger problems are more pedestrian like complete lack of suitable IO.

No it’s not. The beauty of the cubicle was in its practical functionality. If you’re working effectice and productively you don’t really notice the plainness of your surroundings. A private space, but you could still see out the window.

By flash media do you mean memory cards or SSDs? Because that will be a big difference. The issue might not be the pcie USB adapter, and may be whatever it’s connected to. A cheap usb mass storage chip is not going to perform as well as a u

Yes, pretty much since most ISPs do not block UDP port 53. I have no reason to run DNS on a home internet connection. What would a sane use case be? They don’t block it because it would be stupid to use it anyway. Ports that are typically b

Almost every ISP will have a firewall of some kind, but in the US this is usually just blocking 25 incoming, sometimes 80 (fios), maybe a few other ports. I have run services on port 443 on Optimum and FiOS for years. IP addresses don’t cha

Well you either did ask that question and answered it by using appropriate locking and concurrent data structures (which is basically implicitly asking and addressing that question..) or you wrote a lot of crash prone shitty software. Which

Think of an object oriented system. You can have a thread per object at the extreme where each object has its own thread/queue to handle messages. For most cases with synchronous calls you’re not really getting any concurrency. Maybe i
