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.

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 …

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 har…

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 edi…

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…

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 …

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 s…

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 …

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…

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: kn…

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 …

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 pa…

It's something I've heard and read many times, inside and outside of the company, but it's something I haven't really witnessed in my 4 years here. There are many ways to be promot…
