HE has a lot of points of presence in North America and Europe: https://pop.he.net/ , so latency should be negligible there. Elsewhere, yes you might see higher latency.

The modern Olympics is at least as much for entertainment as it is for measuring human ability, and the butterfly is simply an awe-inspiring technique. The line of swimmers repeatedly shooting out of the water like flying fish is mesmerizin

You're absolutely right, abs-o-lutely, everybody says so. A lot, lot lot of people have been saying, you know they come to me and they say, "Mr. Claude, I can't believe the stuff I'm hearing, everybody is telling me he&#

I guess you are referring to the TLS requirement? I guess I could see how on a more restrictive platform like a phone you could conceivably be prevented from accepting alternate CAs or self signed certificates.

AWS had a similar article a couple months ago: https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/aws/aws-liquid-cooling-data... In either case I cannot find out how they dump the heat from the output water before recycling it. Tha

Encryption gets you data integrity "for free". If a bit is flipped by faulty hardware, the packet won't decrypt. TCP checksums are not good enough for catching corruption in many cases.

The EU is better on average, but isn't universally great either. I pay 60 EUR for 200Mbit down/20Mbit up ADSL in Amsterdam, after my 6-month discount ran out. No fiber in my neighborhood yet. There's one gigabit provider in m

For very hot data centers, evaporative cooling is still popular. This is from 2012 but I doubt much has changed. https://blog.google/outreach-initiatives/sustainability/gett...

Don't sell yourself short. If you have eyes and a voice, you can learn to read sheet music and hum a tune.

The traffic has a negative effect on more than just car owners--smog, noise, accidents, slower taxis, to name a few. Why should only car owners, who are a minority in Manhattan, vote on a problem that affects everyone?

I'm working on a multicast dns implementation in OCaml. It's a library allowing one to build custom queries/responders, plus a conventional querier that can be used as a stub resolver for .local to get the resolver functional

I didn't dig into it too deeply at the time, but I think part of it was that you don't need to open and write to a socket, so that's avoiding some system calls (socket(), bind(), sendto(), close()). IIRC we had nscd set up so

I used to work for a huge email sender (constant contact). Our mail servers needed to perform an absurd number of lookups while receiving and validating mail. When I was there, we used dnscache, running locally, on all our mail servers. But

For the read-only, newsletter-type mailing lists, this makes sense and I do it too. But for mailing lists that are used more as a forum, I like posting with a recognizable, memorable email address. I've gotten some really sweet emails

I think guix was just late to the party and the extra steps to setup the nonguix for the non free software like steam is enough of a deterrent for users to go to nix instead. I use guix myself and prefer its use of scheme. I don't mind

It's a good mindset to have, but I think ssh access should still be available as a last resort on prod systems, and perhaps trigger some sort of postmortem process, with steps to detect the problem without ssh in the future. There is a

QUIC is a reliable transport. It's not "fire and forget", there is a mechanism for recovering lost messages similar, but slightly superior to TCP. QUIC has the significant advantage of 0- and 1-rtt connection establishments w

I really doubt anyone can read all the "high quality" fiction out there in their lifetime. If you're reading 12 books a week, sure, but I think that's really too fast.

I've used this on my personal machines for years, and I really appreciate how small, comprehensible, and rigorous the code base of each tool is. Not including the libraries, the most important bits, s6-supervise (the process monitor) a

Seriously, if you're saving less than a TCP receive window's worth of space it's not going to make any difference to latency. I suppose it could make a difference on lossy networks, but I'm not sure.

As a protocol tcp should be able to utilize a long fat pipe with a large enough receive window. You might want to check what window scaling factor is used and look for a tunable. I accept that some implementations may have limits beyond the
