Skimmed it before asking. It's written for people who already know who the author is. Hence the question.

... as it is disappointing.
Not everything that can be done should be done.
Not in a sense that it's so good so you don't want to leave, but that other companies are leery of hiring people with the gamedev experience.
Make what you will out of that remark.
Basically, if you open the log window and look at the peer messages, then beyond certain network size all you'd see was a flood of relayed search queries with duplicates that ground all other activity to the halt. And the whole thing just became unusable.
PS. Also, Gnutella was released almost to the day when some clause of the AOL's purchase contract of Nullsoft (stock option vesting?) has expired so the devs were ultimately free to do whatever the f they wanted. So released the file sharing app. That was a nice touch.
I have a wtf.c from 10+ years ago when I was re-implementing Windows-style Unicode handling for some project. You keep running into various quirks, which accumulate and you inevitably arrive at your WTF moment. So WTF as name comes up naturally, no special wit required.
All proposals focus on ultra-wealthy individuals. This "momentousness" wouldn't really touch the absolute vast majority of the taxpayers.
But, yeah, I bet the targeted people are getting nervous.
lower price /psa
I don’t think that's what Infomaniak is after. Not even in the same ballpark.
The link didn't inspire any confidence given the quote you provides.

That's not the same age range as actively practicing researchers.
That's a rather odd remark.
As much of a snob that Jobs was it's nonsensical to say that he would've knowingly insisted on changes that locked users out from their devices. That's just nonsense. At the very least there would've been a prompt to change the password phrase or some such in upgrade. And if it did happen as an oversight, it would've been patched on the first report and some heads would've rolled.
Some things he didn't appear to care much about, the polished UX was his schtick.
You could also 4x the resolution by using half- and quarter-block characters from the top half of the ASCII table (or it'd be the PETSCII one i C64 case).
This is incorrect.
Hole punching requires being able to predict external port. That's it. If the port remains the same, it certainly simplifies things, but ports going up (or down) by 1 (or 2, or 5) with each new mapping is quite common, trivial to detect and to punch through.
Hardly the case in even half of typical deployment cases.
