Latency testing remote browsing: Why display streaming is hard| thume.ca
A question I get asked with some frequency is: why bother measuring X, why not build something instead? More bluntly, in a recent conversation with a newsletter author, his comment on some future measurement projects I wanted to do (in the same vein as other projects like keyboard vs. mouse, keyboard, terminal and end-to-end latency measurements), delivered with a smug look and a bit contempt in the tone, was "so you just want to get to the top of Hacker News?"| danluu.com

Plots of land & Euclidean space # One of the bigger points of the metaverse is the idea of owning a slice of digital property. This is a weird mix of the scarcity and value from real life property and the domain name (like myfancyname.com) market. It also makes no god damn sense in this context, and is really just artificially putting limitations into a system for the sake of making yet another crypto currency.| opguides.info
I've had this nagging feeling that the computers I use today feel slower than the computers I used as a kid. As a rule, I don’t trust this kind of feeling because human perception has been shown to be unreliable in empirical studies, so I carried around a high-speed camera and measured the response latency of devices I’ve run into in the past few months. Here are the results:| danluu.com
I sped up bash startup from 165 ms to 40 ms. It’s actually noticeable. Why and how did I do it?| Tomáš Janoušek
