Didn't the Vitess team found planetscale?

Hey, sorry, that might have been me. I did that then left the company. In my defense, I had to hack around a different Python library also manipulating sys.path, which nobody likes except this one dev team in a different timezone. They so

I disagree that using feature flags to de-risk deployments is a symptom of bad deployment pipelines. There's several aspects of deployments that are in contention with each other: safety, deployment latency, and engineering overhead ar

Seconded - I enjoyed the audiobooks for Murderbot by Graphic Audio. I originally found them on a torrent tracker when I was searching for something else, and after enjoying the free trial I bought the series through Graphic Audio's we

I find it more readable to have shapes, maybe change microbiota to microbiom to save a character?

I would guess the Nvidia ConnectX is part of a secondary networking plane, not plugged into Jupiter. Current-gen Google NICs are custom hardware with a _lot_ of Google-specific functionality, such as running the borglet on the NIC to free

Hey can someone else double-check that the formula being used on Page 2 for Perf/Dollar is actually making sense? They had three measures: A) Flops. Operations per second. B) Cost. Dollars per hour. C) Runtime. Seconds per task. I e

The number "created" in TFA is just the delta in employed over the time period, with every person no longer employed in-state (for any reason) counting against the people newly employed in CA. Click the link in the article to see

My process is as follows: 1. Live coding, in Zoom or in person. Don't play gotcha on the language choice (unless there's a massive gulf in skill transference, like a webdev interviewing for an embedded C position). Pretend the

According to the equitable grading materials I just received (and posted above), that determination is... entirely up to the individual teacher's discretion? I might be misunderstanding.

Getting rid of grading sounds crazy, but it's actually happening. Los Angeles Unified, the second largest school district in America, is moving to "equitable grading", which amounts (imo) to pass/fail with extra pageant

I don't feel <file is obscure. I've seen shell in that style from coworkers and from open source. Your value judgement against it might just be your experience, rather than something universal.

My hot take: the market is good at pricing in possibilities, but less so at pricing in certainty (or lack thereof). When AMD launched the Zen architecture, everyone said they were on the up-and-up, and the market gave them a boost. The com

TFA didn't mention what private information was contained in the dossier. Is it his street address? SSN?

Google had a library like that, and one of the foot guns is that requests that are malformed or otherwise do 0 work have incredibly low cost, which results in them being prioritized above all other requests. Every user had to configure som

Can someone who's better at Python than me chime in, isn't the obvious transformation of def square_vals(x : list): return [val * val for val in x] into a generator to instead write def square_vals(x : list)

I'm in this camp as well, starting with input file redirection just makes so much sense to me. </proc/0/environ xargs -0 I also don't tend to want enormous volumes of text in my terminal scrollback so I

My favorite internal Google writeup of that kind was for when they doubled the number of screens you needed to click through to cancel YouTube Premium. By adding friction there, they reduced the number of people who successfully canceled t

I think it's fair to include the rest of the sentence as context: > In its illiberal guise, protantalism can be motivated by an ugly ethno-nationalist undercurrent which views pronatalism as a means of avoiding what it perceives to

I've found the same. I store all raw json output into a sqlite table, create virtual columns from it, then do a shell loop off of a select. Nested loops become unnested, and debugability is leagues better because I have the exact rec

I just looked it up, adverbs can modify adjectives. Physically Based is definitely correct here.

by CBLT 3y ago
Firstly, "physically based rendering" has become a term of the art. This means that today, it's correct to use it to mean this specific thing no matter what the grammar rules say about the phrase. Furthermore, another phras

Pip has special syntax for "compatible version" `package~=X.Y`, how about you just always use that in tutorials? The people watching tutorial videos need all the help they can get, why not give them hygienic dependency practices?

From the user manual on that page: > Maintain proper footing and balance at all times. Is this not supposed to be used in deep water? Or am I just swimming wrong?

It looks like what they're describing is implementing database joins in the application: 2 network round trips, first one for ids from a table and the second to get values from another table with foreign keys corresponding to the ids.

You said you work at Google, so open the docs for network QoS. Find the section explaining the difference between AF3 and AF4. Does it still use the "captive" verbiage? Or have they rewritten it to sugarcoat that some customers

I ran into the same problem as TFA in 2017 with an AOC g2460pf monitor. The display port would advertise binary garbage for the EDID that wouldn't checksum, so no OS would try and use it. AOC registered some "drivers" with

100% agree. I went through a similar phase of being infatuated with work ethic, and all I got were the following three lessons learned: 1. Trying to "put more effort" into artifacts (e.g. note taking) while learning something the
