Fascinating deep dive — shows how Quake.exe integrated its own TCP/IP stack, highlighting clever engineering and early game networking innovations.

This is AI right? the em dash and the inane sycophantic reiteration

Can't have the populace heating the voice of the guy who was never proven to be a member of the ra, better they listen to the sexy husband of convicted provo bomber Dolours Price instead.

Dolours being the sister of Marian Price who is currently suiting Disney over being depicted shooting Jean McConville in the back of the head in Say Nothing.

Your use of the phrase 'to use the British term' implying you think that's clever and relevant (and not at all contentious) is the first indicator you don't know what you are talking about.

I use an x250 which has dual batteries

An internal 3 cell battery and a removable 3 cell battery (a 6 cell one is also available)

I don't have a spare but the main point of this set up is to allow hot swapping of batteries wit no shutdowns when AC is unavailable

- To reduce the attack surface In the event of site with a *.gov.uk subdomain getting compromised at least it won't now be able to steal auth cookies for internal services

- to keep test/stage as faithful a copy of prod as possible they will have a totally separate but the same DNS set up/CDN set up/ load balancing etc. Theoretically the only difference would need to be one routing rule rather than stuff that might start creating edge case bugs with certs/cookies etc where there are different numbers of segments in domains. Also allows for more certainty/confidence when something is tested in a lower environment that it will work when promoted to prod

- not that common a scenario

- this uses localStorage which is similar to cookies but not the same thing

- for a site that extolls 'all the data is saved in your browser', how should it cope with a browser with storage disabled?

- How do you log in to HN with cookies disabled?

is pulling via ACH basically a direct debit in UK terms?

Sounds a bit like PiperNet

Even if Google used a separate highly optimised webserver for google.com/static/jquery.js, users who are logged in would be sending their auth cookies when requesting the library.

Given that generally people have slower upload than download, shaving off a few bytes from requests is worth it.

I also recall that browsers [used to (?)] limit concurrent requests per domain which this helps work around

Will this cause performance issues for sites that use static cookieless domains for js, images etc

Google themselves do this with gstatic.net and ytimg.com etc
