I think it's incredibly naïve to believe that we can, in one atomic action, rip out and replace tcp/ip (or whatever other technology) with something that is "better" for whatever value of the word "better" you assign it to have. An incredible amount of work and research has gone into making things work the way that they do, and not only do they work pretty well, but upgrading them to fix issues like this buffer bloat thing is not some Manhattan Project-esque undertaking, like reengineering the internet would be.

Why mustang? I can see crown victoria but not mustang.

Shittiest Haiku Ever

If C-level management can't or won't work around HR's self imposed ridiculous rules then that's their problem and they deserve to lose talent for it.

There's still a lot of energy available at -40, you still have another 233K to go before you hit absolute zero

Now now now here in america we call that quantitative easing. It's a much nicer term.

At least your ignition module didn't spontaneously combust. I was working at an auto shop back in the mid 90's when I was just a retarded kid and we had a Ford ambulance burn to the ground in the parking lot after the ignition module shorted out and started a fire. Apparently that was a thing Fords did back then.

It was a common problem in 80's/90's vintage GM cars to have the resistor packs on the HVAC controls melt.

Plus you lose the secure flag in HttpServletRequest if you don't use AJP proxying, so then you have to do some kind of stupid header hack or a second port or IP to provide the Java runtime with knowledge that your channel is secure (unless you are running 100% SSL, which isn't a bad thing imo).

Don't forget the mill operators, the supply chain analysts, the freight, etc. and all the services to keep those working.

Probably the best observation of the Slashdot community I've seen in years.

I would say C is worth discussing considering the story is about a guy who is all C, C++, Java and some rhodes scholar AC up there said JS has inferior abstractions.

Also please make sure not to conflate lambdas with closures. It's pedantic but they are different animals. I don't know enough about C++11 'cause I had the good sense to flee from that shit in the 90's so I can't speak to the implementation of it's lambdas to know if they can close over free variables. Java, for instance has anonymous inner classes which can behave like lambdas, in a manner of speaking, but you are explicitly forbidden from closure.

Javascript is plenty retarded but Java does not have better closures. You can NOT close over free variables in a Java program.

I implicitly meant "of the languages you were discussing" which are C C++ and Java. Sorry I wasn't verbose enough to keep the context fresh for ya.

Closures are the mother of all abstractions. Any other abstractions can be made from them, so maybe you should learn yourself some comp sci before you sigh.
