Why doesn't QUIC work well for machine-to-machine traffic ? Is it due to the lack of offloads/optimizations for TCP and machine-to-machine traffic tend to me high volume/high rate ?
a database noob question, when you say distribute the database to 50 servers all these are shards, correct? MySQL (or any standard RDBMS) can't span more than one server, correct ?
No, these are not the traditional surnames. What I am referring to is a practice of legally changing the last name (typically father's or grand father's name) to Iyer or Iyengar. To me its a clear on your face statement that the person belongs to that caste and wants to flaunt it.
Fair points. I don't have historical data, but my observation is that the issue of brahmins controlling/dominating lot of sectors was a real problem at some point and the reservation system was a populist response that did provide some benefit for oppressed castes, but created a whole bunch of other problems and unintended consequences. And its still remains such a hot button populist issue no political party would dare implementing the required reforms. The unintended consequence is the emigration of a lot of people from the "higher" castes. I guess its hard to say if it had any material impact on India's progress but the "higher" caste population that doesn't have the means/resources to emigrate is put in a real difficult situation.
I am an Indian and have been in US for many years. There is one thing I have noticed among brahmins, during their Naturalization process many of them change their last names to Iyer or Iyengar (two sects of Brahmins).
I am referring to guys from the southern part of India where I am from. Its not a common practice there.
My interpretation of this is these folks have a perceived sense of superiority feeling about their caste and having it in the last name is a form of boasting.
In South India there has been a social movement in the last few decades to allocate quotas for "lower" caste members in universities and govt jobs to stop the domination of brahmins (merits, or lack there of, of the quota system is whole different topic). So having Iyer or Iyergar as last name would be frowned upon/judged endlessly there. May be they feel a sense of freedom here in US that prompts this behavior.
Genuine questions as someone with no experience in dealing with large sclae log aggregation: Can you share some details on what kind of issues you ran into in production with Elastic Search that needed a dedicated team to manage ?
can someone help me understand this better.. Did Cisco leave a user public key in the switch and the private key has leaked ? To exploit this vulnerability attacker has to get hold of that private key ?
Looks like Duo provides a 2FA for accessing any application ? Does it work for any random app ? Are there any details online about the technical details on how that works ?
From the details here it looks like Netflix was actually getting arm twisted by Comcast first and then other big last mile carriers. What this article says is still relevant ?
This is technically correct. But the regular processing can take months and you are fucked if there is any sort of emergency in the family(back in your homeland) and you have to travel.
