Which servers / sites support HTTP/1.1 pipelining? This seems somewhat hard to lookup.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_pipelining: says that proxies and web browsers mostly don't support it. It claims that it's easy for servers to support it, but provides no more details. It also mentions that curl removed pipelining support.

https://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,269248,269249#msg-269249: Some person says that Nginx doesn't support pipelining. Other people agree. I can't find anything to contradict that.

https://serverfault.com/questions/266184/does-apache-webserv...: Someone says that Apache doesn't support pipelining. Again, I can't find anything to contradict that.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17299489/iis-and-http-pi...: This person says IIS doesn't support pipelining. Against, I can't find contradictory evidence.

Twisted used to support pipelining, but removed it: https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/8320

So, who exactly supports HTTP/1.1 pipelining?

It is true that if you fire multiple requests off to an HTTP/1.1 host without waiting for a response, you'll probably get responses back. The thing is that most hosts will process those requests one at a time. This is not pipelining - this is just processing requests one at a time as they come in. So, you're saving the latency required to get the request to the server - but not getting any benefit from parallel processing since the servers process the requests serially. With HTTP/2, however, at least some servers will actually process those requests in parallel - potentially with better performance.
Here's the fun part: the hardware already changed, twice, since that claim.

I assume this is some kind of joke. But on the off chance it isn't, Russia is getting very strict on their vaccine requirements.

Authorities in four Russian regions have made coronavirus vaccines mandatory this week for workers in retail, education and other service sectors, part of an effort to boost the country’s low immunization rates as COVID-19 infections continue to soar.

> say a chocolate bar contains 80% chocolate and 20% food wax. A year later it contains 70% chocolate and 30% food wax. No inflation measure in the world accurately measures that. You can't measure for it because there's too many judgement calls if you do.

I think the bigger problem is that it's difficult to tell when this happens. There are judgment calls you need to make to adjust for this, but it's not an intractable problem. Official data sources have to make more subjective judgment calls than this constantly.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatwood

> In the United States the pine tree, Pinus palustris, known as the longleaf pine, once covered as much as 90,000,000 acres (360,000 km2) but due to clear cutting was reduced by between 95% and 97%. The trees grow very large (up to 150 feet), taking 100 to 150 years to mature and can live up to 500 years. The wood was prized and cutting resulted in many hundreds of thousands of stumps that are very resinous, do not rot, and eventually become fatwood. This ushered in a new industry for many years.

Some of these trees burn like firebombs, they probably find it useful too. As a species. The individual tree, maybe, but if so far more briefly.

On most hardware, the closed source components are optional.

For example the only closed source component that I use is the NVIDIA driver, but I could use Nouveau, with lower performance.

The real problem is caused by the hardware backdoors that cannot be controlled by the operating systems and which prevent the full ownership of the devices, e.g. the System Management Mode of Intel/AMD, the Intel ME and the AMD PSP.
This is the worst of all possible worlds.

Instead of a disruptive event that lasts 1 second, it lasts 86400 seconds. All throughout those 86400 seconds you are out of sync with everybody else in the world, except those few you might have bullied into matching you.

The best solution is to simply cut UTC loose from astronomical time. Anybody who cares about astronomical time--people calculating orbits and telescope directions--are not using UTC anyway, and know how to convert from TAI when they need to.

Over two centuries, UTC might drift a minute off of astronomical time. A UTC2 in 2106 (when 32-bit unsigned count of seconds since 1970 rolls over) would be a good point to plan for a correction, if one starts to seem warranted by then.

In the meantime, you just treat UTC as if it really did represent astronomical time, and with the TAI crowd out of the building, no one is left to care about the difference.

It is easy to institute the change: simply stop declaring leap seconds. At each international treaty-scheduled opportunity, say "nope". And announce you will always say "nope".

Until the correct solution is ratified, getting your leap second over-with in a second is the next best thing.

It must work well enough since this is not a new phenomena. People may be discussing it more now with the rising concern about inflation, but it is something that my family taught me to watch out for in the 80's and I very much doubt that it was a new business tactic then.

If you haven't noticed it in the past, try thinking about the opposite effect: all of those temporary labels claiming "20% more". Quite often, that is the company restoring the package size in order to avoid them becoming noticeably smaller with time.
From personal experience I have seen quite young fit and healthy person die of COVID. If you saw it first hand , you would know how quickly and dangerously this virus takes over . Having a vaccine with even a 50 percent chance is a no brainer to prevent the devastating damage this virus can cause in a very short time. And so is wearing masks.
And still nobody who matters takes climate change seriously.
Interesting! Perhaps we can do something like:

3 * gold + 2 * silver + bronze + β1 / population + β2 / GDP

where β1 and β2 are some coefficients.

How do we choose these coefficients? Maybe try to run a simple regression to see how historically predictive pop and GDP are of a nations score w/o the GDP and pop terms.
Wow. Thanks for that.

Yeah I lived maybe 100 meters from a busy road so I bought an air cleaner out of concern, but also got an Arduino with a serial device monitoring PM 2.5. PM 2.5 was always low teens or single digits, until I blew out a match next to the device and it went to 100s but dipped very quickly, so I think particulates aren't the biggest concern in most houses, unless maybe they spend all day with the windows open.

I often wonder if being too close to the experimental results and current techniques blinds some people from seeing the bigger picture.

This is a ludicrous philosophy.

There is an indirect negative impact of ANY modern lifestyle. The really expensive impact comes from of industrialization and technological advancement.

You can find multiple people who would describe anything as broken. I'm several dozen comments into that thread and I still haven't found a single person even attempting to explain why the old functionality is needed beyond "I don't like using my `?` and `Ctrl-K` keys", which Mozilla absolutely should not have dignified with as much time as they gave it.

The person arguing that the entire search box should just be removed if it isn't actually any new functionality has a point, but that's somewhat tangential to the "bug" they're describing.

Probably the wrong person to ask, but it would be great if there were guides on replacing SAML with OIDC, if you're already using AzureAD.

But if there was an official guide, I could send an e-mail blast to a few higher-ups and say "SAML is teh suck, but here is MS's guide on upgrading to OIDC, it's easy, no more excuses plz kthx"

It’s within anyone’s rights as website maintainers to block malicious IP addresses that scrape or otherwise within their discretion.

Nobody is legally forcing websites to allow access to everyone, and accordingly, nobody is altering the law by blocking access to people (crawlers, hackers, spammers, malcontents, or anybody really) that they feel are not welcome. So exercising one’s existing rights isn’t an act of making or altering laws.

I suggest reading up on what robots.txt is to further understand this.
I think the idea in general is interesting for future developments. A lot of physical principles are either derived from or produce very accurate measurements done with simple hardware. If timebases can go in that direction it will make a lot of interesting portable science possible.

It's a bit tricky, because one of the most expensive parts of an air quality meter appears to be the CO2 sensor. Less expensive sensors approximate CO2 concentration (it's referred to as "eCO2") and can be wildly off due to the way they sense gas concentrations.

This isn't a conspiracy - the problem with HTTP/1.1 pipelining is that responses have to go out in the same order as the requests that generated them. So, if a slow request comes in that generates a small amount of data, followed by 10 fast requests that generate a lot of data, the server has to hold all those big, fast responses in memory until the slow one finishes. That's bad for utilization - and it makes it easier to DOS a server. With HTTP/2, the server can respond immediately to whichever request finishes first - which is much better for utilization of server resources.
That is premature. They haven’t done anything yet. It may just be performative.

Planimeter dogfoods by working on Grid Engine: Sandbox which is a sort of non-game Garry's Mod 2D sandbox which is where the development team makes features production-ready. We integrate with Steamworks for consulting purposes, but will probably not end up publishing there ourselves, and really advise clients to not do it.

We're a bit tied up with with some consulting projects at the moment, so Grid Engine 10 has been in slower development than the last few years.

We're planning on providing commercial licenses for small studios at something like a one-time $999/license with things like out-of-the-box community server support and at-cost multiplayer infrastructure, which is something like $15/yr for roughly 1,000 concurrent players at 20-tick.

I find it to be a competitive advantage that we provide community server browsers in the engine directly (think Source or further back, Gamespy/Quakespy) and no one else seems to do this? We also use the common Gamespy server browser protocol, which is also a de facto standard.

I would be curious as to why major studios don't also do the same, but the answer is that most of them want to control the servers today and not let you run your own communities anymore.

Unity allows Multiplay to basically own that, which I think is telling that they don't care about that developer experience.

Godot has no answer to any of this. You also have to roll your own multiplayer entirely.

Planimeter doesn't compete with Unity 2D mobile games. We try and stay away from that sort of image. Our software and licensing is intended to compete with desktop 2D games.
