I've read through Glenn Fiedler's awesome guide on Reliability over UDP and I'm currently working on my own implementation for fun and learning purposes.
One pretty cool piece of Glenn's guide is that it implements redundant acks as a bitset: when a packet is acking a message, it includes a bitset indicating which of the previous 32 sequence numbers were also acked by flipping that particular bit to 1.
However, one issue I'm running into is what to do when packets are dropped at the _beginning_ of the bitset, e.g. the 32nd bit is not acked.
Let's say my message header is the following:
Ack: 42
Bitset: ack everything from 10 to 41, but _not_ SequenceNumber 9!
// or even Bitset: nothing previously acked, so all 0s
In this scenario, I cannot begin processing or acking SequenceNumber 43 and beyond from the remote client otherwise I would have potential data loss for acking SequenceNumber 9.
Do I just stall and not process any further SequenceNumbers until I receive SequenceNumber 9? This should ideally be rare, but stalling feels bad and I'm hoping there's another solution.
Also interested in seeing other reliable UDP solutions if folks have them.
Hey all, here's another Symbolic World member conversation with J.P. Marceau and myself. Somehow we talk about 'our contraceptive culture' AND alien first encounters (especially the film Arrival). It was a fantastic weaving of symbolism. Hope you enjoy it. The discussion is lengthy, so use the timestamps to navigate topic chapters.
This notice came out from the Neighborhood Association of the Back Bay. Plan ahead and plan for other entrances to the Esplanade. This is the curved concrete bridge near Beacon and Arlington Street. You can also get on near MGH and Charles Street. "The Arthur Fiedler footbridge to the Esplanade will be closed from mid-May to the end of August for renovations. The Dartmouth St footbridge and the Fairfield St. footbridge will remain open."
As stated in the title, it was used as the intro music to MBC (a South Korean TV channel) newscasts in 1980 and early 1981 (it was replaced by an electronic rendition of Holst's Jupiter by Isao Tomita), so I'm assuming this piece of music comes from before that. It could be an in-house piece of music, but seeing at how only 20 seconds of it was used (and seeing that they later used music from another artist, the aforementioned rendition of Jupiter by Tomita), I doubt it.
It sounds like it would fit some kind of movie (maybe some ancient epic), but I'm not sure what kind or what movie. I tried Shazaming it and it came back as just "Medley" by Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops Orchestra. Problem is, Shazam didn't direct me to a specific medley or song, and the album it suggested was a cover album (I believe) from 2010, which would've been way too late.
