I worked at Google; I'm describing to you exactly how the infrastructure worked. Yes, Google's internal infrastructure is that good. It's easy to get caught up in the "haha cancel products" meme and forget that thi

IIRC Flatbuf uses gRPC. It's really not that different under the hood than any other HTTP based RPC system.

The message is pretty well understood - the only difference is that the monorepo (think of it as a service in and of itself) and its associated tooling do get seen as "Google-specific." Bazel in general has really awful support.

The only ways for a service to be banned in the US are by court order (i.e. judge says the site has to come down) which carries no penalties for visitors, and sanctions in which case visiting is generally still OK but paying the site is a n

It's nuts that we treat LTCG and income differently. We should adjust LTCG for inflation and then charge the amortized taxes whenever folks realize gains. "but then taxes would be too high!" yes, so we should also reduce inc

Sure, if the powerset of all roads in a major city is "cherry-picking" to you. The rest of us just call that driving.

Yes, but then all apps would be poorly-written webapps in a single-threaded language with a bunch of performance kludges bolted on (like WASM, which STILL inexplicably can't directly edit the DOM). There's frankly not much of a te

Waymo does not have cherry picked routes - it has a defined ODD inside which is ANY route can be driven fully unsupervised. This necessarily involves some kind of generalized driving algorithm but more usefully, it gives you a clear goal an

The best way to prevent bikeshedding is to make it really easy to try out different colors and measure them. As the engineer who's been in the "touch nothing" camp before, it's always because the risk/reward of maki

This is a silly take. Unless there was a contact written down, DefCon gets to remove this guy for any reason or even no reason. The incentive to not do it is because it makes them look like power-tripping maniacs, which is what happened. I

I hate this take. Corporations don't pollute for fun; they pollute to provide goods and services for their customers. The responsibility sits with the end consumer who wants affordable quality, not the company that provided the good.
