Career prospects

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 25 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Are they going to expand into Canada? That's a much better deal than getting reemed by Telus or Rogers.

[–] CanadaPlus@futurology.today 6 points 10 months ago

Yeah, no joke. That would be awesome, and they wouldn't be scared off by the paper terrorism.

When Mexico sends us us people, they're not sending their best. /s

Damn, they must be charging an arm and a leg then, or your firstborn perhaps.

Wi-Fi protection racket has to be a new one, right?

[–] FishFace@lemmy.world 30 points 10 months ago (2 children)

If you're using TCP and losing packets you should be panicking though, because something is very wrong...

[–] thejml@lemm.ee 33 points 10 months ago (1 children)

True, but TCP will just resend them, you won’t lose anything but some latency. Meaning it’s something to look into, but not something to panic about.

[–] wischi@programming.dev 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You can lose packets. Just cut the cable, but the other side will notice that the transmission is incomplete.

[–] FishFace@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Shouldn't the engineer be a bit more worried if the cable's been cut?

If UDP drops packets it's probably nothing. If TCP drops packets it's because something's actually wrong.
