To be clear, these languages were not designed to be fast or space-efficient, but for ease of use. Unfortunately, languages like Python have proven resistant to efficient implementation, partly because of their design, and partly because of limitations imposed by the need to interop with C code. As Leiserson et al.

And that brings our story to the present day: Stage 3: Neural networks High-end video games required high-end video cards. Between Google (Vertex AI and Colab) and Amazon (SageMaker), you can now get all of the GPU power your credit card can handle. The solution led us to the next structural evolution.

For example, if the device is a firewall, it might be configured to block all traffic containing (unknown) extensions. In practice, UDP is mostly used for live traffic that updates at a high rate and thus suffers little from packet loss because missing data is quickly outdated anyway (examples include live video conferencing and gaming).

Let’s face it – the ideal load test emulates real world traffic, yet most load testing software doesn’t come close. Thanks to cloud-based virtual servers, LoadView can send traffic to your site or application from around the world. Copious tooltips and intuitive design make for a shallow learning curve.

Chip design choices and silicon economics are the defining feature of the still-growing Performance Inequality Gap. Sadly, data on latency is harder to get, even from Google's perch, so progress there is somewhat more difficult to judge. Don't pay a lot for an Android-shaped muffler.

While this is conceptually possible (QUIC does exactly that), things were initially not designed like this, because we need to be able to use TCP with and without TLS on top. Luckily, QUIC was designed with TLS in mind from the start, and as such does combine both the transport and cryptographic handshakes in a single mechanism.

Performance isn’t just a technical concern: it affects everything from accessibility to usability to search engine optimization, and when baking it into the workflow, design decisions have to be informed by their performance implications.
