"Expecting basic programming ability" isn't elitism, sorry

I actually can't tell whether you're serious...

The article mentions an `append` operation which is obviously not commutative; does that imply memcached needs a separate "appendable" string type? Of course not. Memcached only guarantees that the individual operations are atomic, it's the client's responsibility to avoid race conditions between multiple operations.

hate speech is still protected speech

Yes, bytes from a *logical* stream need to be delivered in order. But in HTTP2 (3) multiple logical streams are multiplexed on top of one physical TCP (QUIC) connection. In the HTTP2 case this means that a dropped segment from logical stream A will block delivery of subsequent segments from an different logical stream B (which is bad for obvious reasons). QUIC doesn't have this problem, which is a large part of its value proposition.

probably better to solve that problem by just giving projects easy-to-remember codenames. that's what intelligence agencies and militaries have been doing for years after all

I agree. Actually everyone I don't like should be classified as a terrorist and denied any sort of due process or civil rights. It's fine as long as we only do it to really really bad people who make us very very mad.

it's irrelevant whether they're "cryptographically" random, all that matters is that account IDs are not controlled by the user and therefore have no logical relation to any access-control policies the user may wish to implement

That's only for data into AWS though, not data out

Yes we all know it's possible to lie with statistics. What are your criticisms of this article in particular? If you don't have any then you're just baselessly casting aspersions.

No? You don't need parallelism to guarantee global progress as long as the scheduler has the ability to preempt tasks. Of course coroutines (as opposed to e.g. userspace threads) can't really be preempted, which is the issue here.

This is where the news site is trying take advantage of search engines to get you to clink on their SERP, and then make you pay. In a lot of cases you can read this content by proxying off a non-dynamic ip range and changing your user agent.

okay... so they're piracy links is what you're saying?

> extremely weird conclusion

I agree, it's so weird that people who devote time, effort, and resources to the production of articles or books somehow think they're entitled to be compensated for the use of those products! What a bizarre belief! I mean, obviously they should just give them away for free. Not like they need money to survive or anything. They can just go on food stamps and live under a bridge or something.
