My experience is this mostly between men and generally not as common as it used to be.

My dad is called by his surname by some of his high school pals and call some of them by surname when he's around them (but not in reference to them if he's talking to me). Thinking back to my high school days in the late 00's I can only remember athletes being called by their last name. Perhaps because of football or sports that you just have your last name on your jersey. It would be an interesting thing to understand more.

I could be regional too. I'm from the US in the midwest.

I believe they mean realizing that if you had invested into stocks instead of money market you'd have likely realized a quite large return. Money markets seek to keep your returns to around inflation.

It's tough. iperf is a reasonable tool. It works by setting up tcp connections and actually transferring data.

I like the work https://fasterdata.es.net/ does. They provide clear guides and set expectations if you want to get more bandwidth out of a connection.

MTR is a useful tool but it is a somewhat common source of illusory issues since it generates so many icmp time exceeded packets that routers stop replying to other folks running traces. It's important, as others said, to understand that these aren't testing the data path of a network but instead the control plane path.

I've read about three chapters and this is very funny in a way that I don't find very often. It's more a hallmark of older pieces.

This is a breath of fresh air compared to the tesla approach which seems to be don't release any data that isn't biased. Waymo is being a responsible party here by releasing all this data even if some of the stuff around the waymo driver hitting roadway objects (like the parking lot bar or the shopping cart) is a little concerning.

I think those devices could use the psk option?

Personally I think you should strike this "(...because failure is not an option! ;) )" it's a little offputting. I also think you should put a salary range. I get how it kind of reveals your hand but it also sets expectations.

The title is so vague but here is the subtitle:

The Nth Country experiment showed that three post-docs with no nuclear knowledge could design a working atom bomb.
