Main takeaway: UDP is sexy, TCP not so much. Did I miss anything? 🤔

I'd tell you a udp joke but you might not get it.

I need to grow up some time. Shoot!

I'm so confused as to if this is a "whoosh" or if I'm the one "whoosh"ing.

TCP is for business (a.k.a. paying your invoice) and UDP is for fun (a.k.a. your voice chat).

But... What if I want to pay with my voice?

My voice is my passport. Verify me.

Send over a cassette tape of you singing Let It Go from Disney's Frozen and I'll get back to you within four to five business months. If you fail verification, you won't be hearing from me.

I prefer the Demi Lovato version from the end credits. You underestimate my desire to sing Kareoke and my access to cassette tapes.

No shade to Idina Menzel, but Panic! At The Disco did an awesome job with 'Into the Unknown' as well for ending credits for Frozen 2.

Disney Dad's represent.

If we're going to use AI for biometrics, we can make it more fun.

I think this comic/meme has accurately conveyed that.

I think TCP is kinda hot too

True, yeah, that stateful back and forth communication elevates it to a whole other level. "Harder", "more", "stop it!", "don't!" and so forth.

UDP is bacteria, TCP is eucaryptic cells. More organized, less random stuff floating around.

enables higher levels of organization and more complex systems.

UDP packets are suicide bombers and TCP packets are undercover operatives.

UDP by itself has no state management, but some protocols will do state management at higher levels while using UDP as the transport

Scoopta@programming.dev · 4 pts · 122d

Yeah, because ultimately UDP is just IP with ports and a checksum added on top, you can do anything with it you can do with plain IP, including reliable transport.
