TCP-in-UDP Solution (eBPF)

news.ycombinator.com Matthieu Baerts 2026-01-12 15:59:08

The MPTCP protocol is complex, mainly to be able to survive on the Internet where middleboxes such as NATs, firewalls, IDS or proxies can modify parts of the TCP packets. Worst case scenario, an MPTCP connection should fallback to “plain” TCP. Today, such fallbacks are rarer than before – probably because MPTCP has been used since 2013 on millions of Apple smartphones worldwide – but they can still exist, e.g. on some mobile networks using Performance Enhancing Proxies (PEPs) where MPTCP connect

Extending That XOR Trick to Billions of Rows

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-12 02:15:41

Can we extend the XOR trick for finding one or two missing numbers in a list to finding thousands of missing IDs in a billion-row table? Yes, we can! This is possible using a data structure called an Invertible Bloom Filter (IBF) that compares two sets with space complexity based only on the size of the difference. Using a generalization of the XOR trick [1], all the values that are identical cancel out, so the size of this data structure depends only on the size of the difference. Most explan

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2026-01-16 06:00:52

Suzzanna: The Queen of Black Magic offers an excellent introduction to the Indonesian movie legend, but it’s a fun watch even if you’re already familiar with her work. Just about the only prerequisite for enjoyment is being a horror fan, because David Gregory’s documentary is packed with clips from Suzzanna’s gloriously over-the-top filmography, especially her much-loved early-’80s entries. “The Queen of Indonesian Horror,” as she came to be known, was born during World War II; she knew from an

Shadow Labyrinth didn’t make the best first impression, though I’m not talking about the game itself. The concept of a gritty reboot of Pac-Man first reared its strange head in Secret Level, an anthology that turned notable video games into animated shorts that mostly felt like extended commercials.
