I wish this old legend would die already. It's not even perf/grad season.

When a border or name is disputed, this is shown with the "given names" in the countries on each side of the dispute, and with both names (one in brackets) everywhere else.

I read so many similar stories and I'm still shocked. It took 8 months from my first acute back pain problems to the diagnostic.

Ok, they have the trademark, but how does it give them the permission to reuse or copy the original game assets, designs, etc?

That's not my experience. First, there are two SRE ladders: SRE-SWE and SRE-SysEng. SRE-SWE have the same interviews and hiring bar as SWEs. SysEng have less coding interviews but I think the interview questions are more practical and

Very little at the scale of this codebase is still a lot. From where I sit (SRE), I see a lot of Python which is very much mission critical.

I believe it also depends on your location. I only see sponsored tiles when traveling in some countries.

The reason is quite simple: why spend engineering headcount on a less successful product? > Some wouldn't have been viable, sure. Others were probably too ingrained in Google's hardware/software ecosystem to be separated o

Google must diversify its source of revenue, that's the purpose of hardware, Cloud, Youtube premium and others. It is also why they sell access to APIs.

Yes, the later is what Nolan avoids. But when he says "the movie is done without CGI shots", he can't ignore that most people will assume the movie is also made without digital editing and compositing.

by martius 3y ago
Nolan not using CGI is like Tom Cruise doing Mission: Impossible stunts himself. These affirmations are ambiguous and misleading. In the case of Oppenheimer (and other Nolan movies) they use a lot of practical effects but they are eventuall

In the first case, she's mentioning descriptors to make the same point as for "this" with javascript: you can bind a set of related data to a function. Exposing "descriptors" is a latter thing, but their default imp

I have zero sympathy for Macron, but the article seems to miss an important aspect: it was mentioned in front of ~200 mayors of cities where the riots are happening. I believe he said this to satisfy his audience, and maybe to try to put pr

I've seen a lot of critics complaining about using direction technique (editing, music, etc) to make audience cry, as if only the story, screenplay and acting is pure enough to be allowed to trigger these emotions. On the other hand, n

Source for this? There is a well known tool named Panopticon (abbreviated pcon) internally and this is not at all what you describe. (I work at Google)

Not that I know of, we have some virtual filesystems for specific things, but in general Drive is for shared docs, videos (recorded meetings/presentations) and things like this. We don't use drive to store other files. Actually, w

True, I implicitly included the MTTR in the "severity", but this is actually a different thing (severity is more about the impact radius). But I don't think it changes my point: knowing what/how Google Cloud designs regi

by martius 3y ago
But does it really matter that the incident is a flood or a cascading software failure if the likelihood and severity is the same? Being in the same building is an "implementation detail" from a customer perspective, what matters

From what I can remember, this is a rumor, not something Google "announced". From the beginning of the article: > The Google unit, (...) is under pressure from top management to pass Amazon or Microsoft—currently first and seco

> What happens to the people who bet on them? Do they even have a point of contact if e.g. an integration breaks? That’s the point. They’re half-baked products being put out and pulled with no care in the world. That’s the brand. So on o

Short answer, yes, a PM should have been consulted and give their approval for the change. In the scenario I described above (again, it's a guess, I don't know what actually happened), it's possible that the PM was bypassed b

Disclaimer: SRE at Google, not on Drive. I didn't look into this and don't know what really happened, but I can guess. It's more likely a tradeoff. Either you set this limit and protect your service from an identified scalabi

Are they unrelated? The article is about a tradeoff between security and user experience, claiming that a given practice is bad experience without any security gain. The Ashley Madison leak shows that there are plenty of vulnerable users wh

Sure, but if we are talking about improving user experience, I don't see how this helps.

There is also the question of leaking whether a given user has an account on a website or not. Maybe I don't want my employer to know that I have an account on competitor-service.com, or my partner to know that I have an account on kin
