I've turned down actual offers because even some medium-sized companies won't tell you which team you'll be working on when the offer is extended. I get that things can be fluid, b…

> It's an infinite loop ... In Go, if runtime.GOMAXPROCS() returns 1 or is set to 1 (meaning, Go only has access to a single system thread), the 'for' loop canabalizes the schedule…

Investors pull the strings. The behavior isn't the result of an investment, but failing to implement procedures after the fact to stop future incidents definitely can be. Not throu…

They did detect the hack.

Looks great. My main complaint is that the templates feature appears to be reinventing Terraform. Would have been cool if we could use the Terraform templates we already have, or e…

Gundb is garbage.

But single node with unlimited room to grow is always a good value prop. Cockroach can market that, but Spanner can't.

I can't generalize for every school, or everyone at every school. I attended an engineering program at one of the top 5 schools by total international student population. Honestly,…

But the most successful products tend to be ones that can scale from zero to global. DynamoDB is a great example.

Given that Spanner starts at $650/mo/node + storage costs, I think Cockroach could still see huge usage as a self-hosted alternative.

Its probably a class size of 2, with Amazon. Beyond those two though, no one else is close.

When I say MacBooks... I mean the MacBook Pros. As in, what this article is talking about. Apple never reduced the size of the MB battery by 30%. Or added a second screen. Or kept …

Everyone talks about the downsides of the new MacBooks. No one talks about about how they reduced the size of the internal battery by 30%, effectively added a second screen, improv…

This isn't true on the span of a single year due to market volatility.

That information is pretty easily available.

Most people (think: GNU wizards) who do projects like this don't want to monetize; not for capability reasons, but for philosophical and social reasons. They think monetization is …

It is his responsibility to capture the value of his work. The world does not owe him this. The world doesn't owe him anything unless he demands it. You're asking to have your cake…

Honestly, I'm 100% more fine with Apple spying on me than pretty much anyone else. I'm less perturbed with the entire concept of spying than I am with who is doing it.

It is so concerning to me that the company has committed to spending an average of $400M per year on cloud infra when their revenue is only $200M, and they've revealed that user gr…

The "real world" argument is a classic No True Scotsman fallacy.

Did you seriously just suggest that Amazon is generally regarded as a pleasant place to work? Amazon, the company that not 3 months ago, had an employee attempt to kill himself by …

No. In what world would Snapchat be paying the rates that you pay at your Denver colo center? Why is that even relevant? They pay what Google charges them, which is $0.08/GB egress…

I'm not so sure. $33M would buy 412PB of egress alone. At 160M daily active users, that's roughly 2GB per user. In just bandwidth. That's high, and they've probably negotiated some…

That's true, but Intel has as much to lose as AMD if that cross-licensing deal is terminated. So I'd imagine that Intel would want to re-negotiate it with the new party, which is o…
