One could argue that all they did was move most of the complicated logic into the blob store. Not that it's a bad thing.

Haha I meant panic as in become scared, not the go panic.

Go is my default language for any non-client-side project. That said, I agree with all the criticisms, except for the one about unused variables/imports and the lack of warnings in the compiler. I'd also add one of my own - I&#x27

No, sorry but I don't think you understood the article. Readiness probes don't fix this. In fact, they could exacerbate the problem (although you obviously need them anyway). The problem is Kubernetes and the Load Balancer react t

Yes! I think this is a really under-reported issue. It's basically caused by kubernetes doing things without confirming everyone responded to prior status updates. It affects every ingress controller, and it also affects services of ty

Op should really delete this blog post. It has a lot of details that could be used against them in court.

Actually, it is normal for there to be dilution in each funding round, including an IPO.

I agree spanner and cockroach are the future. Most people don't need a database that can scale that well, and spanner is too expensive to use unless you really truly need it. Also, google and cockroach have not done enough marketing. L

The WJACTV article you referenced literally includes a response from the department of state and an explanation of the discrepancy.

Either they are too stupid to know you can't attack people and break into buildings, or they did it on purpose. Either way they can't be effective as CEO after that. People were indeed arrested and fired for looting in protests ea

In case someone is curious, the optimization they describe is trivial to do in Kubernetes - just enter a resource request for cpu without adding a limit.

I'm not sure what you're trying to argue for here, but if we had allowed a huge initial spike, many hundreds of thousands would have died needlessly. We are still doing much better than that.

Yeah space really isn't the problem at all. It is nurses and doctors and oxygen. They have nurses - who are supposed to treat 2, maybe 3 at a time - treating 30 people at a time.

Prop 22 is a tremendous success for Uber and other companies. The courts and legislature in CA went out on a limb to force Uber and others to do the right thing, and prop 22 erased all their work. If you don't live in California, you m

I disagree that it is overkill. You have to think about it like this: the average skill level of engineers at a large company will always move to the true average across all engineers outside the company. This means they have engineers that

Hmm one thing that jumped out at me was the organizational mistake of having a very long automated "grace period". This is actually bad system architecture. Whenever you have a timeout for something that involves a major config ch

I have nothing directly against cloudflare but I think it would be better to try to support one of the smaller analytics companies if possible. They are the ones who made products that got big companies like cloudflare interested in the spa

I do the same thing with the timer app. I've only worked more than 8 hours when there was a tight deadline. I was surprised by how exhausted I felt on those days. On a normal productive day I get 6 hours, on a day where I feel shitty I

Are you seriously shaming them because you think they have social anxiety and you don't think they took a big enough risk?

Google Cloud Run doesn't provide nearly the same features as Heroku. For example, there is no easy way to manage secrets with Cloud Run. There is no way to run a worker process. Integration with other Google Cloud things like Cloud SQL

The point is they create a huge amount of hassle for users by constantly killing/replacing/renaming products, and it also shows that they aren't doing any effective long-term planning. That's what makes people mad. Angul

How do Googlers actually feel about all this? It seems to me that a lot of the reason you work there is the benefits at their offices. If they are cut, then it's like getting a pay cut.

I don't think it's a big deal, but I was confused for a minute, because sus in English slang is short for suspect/suspicious.

Realistically the biggest problem with Rust today is the biggest problem it has always had - it is too hard to write useful programs. Rust has seen some success in very targeted use cases, but that isn't enough. I am 100% confident tha

TOML sucks in so many ways. It is about 8x better than YAML, INI, or JSON though. It is good enough that I can ignore its flaws.

I think this is meant to try and make it more of a political issue. Of course the problem is I don't think most regular people care at all if Microsoft or Amazon get the contract. Actually many regular people would probably prefer nobo

I don't get the GitHub Container Registry, GitHub Package repository, or GitHub Actions. The only good thing about these products seems to be integration with GitHub. But in many ways they are inferior to other CI and artifact hosting
