I remember TCP/IP maturing in the protocol wars of the 90s
Good times. But it didn't matter because ATM was the future. /s
Many of these came from companies who created the protocol solely to push products
Like 100Base-VG? That was a good laugh.
TCP/IP won out for general use because of its low cost of deployment and ongoing support compared to alternatives, and that point is lost on the modern engineer that’s just looking at this stuff as “paper problems”
They don’t have to use TCP. The point was to use sockets as the abstraction layer and use another inter-connect instead of TCP/IP.
That way you’ve easily replaced TCP in the datacenter without major changes to many applications
>What makes Qualcomm somehow sacrosanct and immune from analysis or critique?
None of what was written is new. And it is not Qualcomm is immune to analysis. It is the other way around. Any evidence that benefits ARM and harm Qualcomm in this case has been completely ignored on HN.

This feels like beating around the bush.
Can you give examples or citations of “evidence that benefits ARM and harm[s] Qualcomm,” so that we on HN may avoid completely ignoring it? Otherwise it feels like we’re doomed to tilt at windmills in your view, but we have no way of knowing how to disabuse ourselves of notions you only vaguely gesture at.
I think it's worth it. Much less SEO-driven crap; pages with actual info about a search term seem to be more prominent than pages trying to sell me something related to the search term. YMMV.
You must be new here. It's a law of nature around HN that whatever you post that you've done, there's some twit who will condescendingly lecture you on how you should have done it.
I'm not new here at all (this account was created in 2015). I know fairly well HN and its "idiosyncrasies" but I like to call them out from time to time.
The one thing that has become a bit harder to find are lab and assembly workbenches.
I bought a 6' and 12' assembly benches, complete with overhead lights, when Hayes Micro went under 30 years ago or so. Paid less than us$200 for them. Still going strong in my shop.
My best friend (son of a session musician) tells the joke "what's the difference between a session musician and a pepperoni pizza...the pizza can feed a family of 4".
