You'd probably have to be more specific about what you're defining as "mining".

Loving someone sometimes means telling them when they're full of shit, or when they need to make an effort to improve. Sometimes it means agreeing to take on a task, like doing the chores, but only if it's clearly part of a plan

It's actually deleted, though it can take some time for deletions to propagate through various Google systems and backups - we can't violate the speed of light and we wouldn't want a bug in the deletion code to result in a c

That "bit of history" goes a long way, though. In particular, it means you don't lose context when you disconnect temporarily, which makes a huge difference for both mobile and laptop use cases. (Obviously, this is also one o

Discord avoids that issue by having a global identifier, similar to your connection to an IRC network. However, having that global identifier / IRC network connection is a tradeoff - it forces you to use a single consistent identity fo

Oftentimes the 'sync' conversations are either triggered or resolved by commit/build events.

Trusted Contacts, Location Sharing, Location History, etc are all powered by the background location service which is significantly more conservative about battery life than something like Ingress :) But yes, if you're looking for a

Maps' location sharing and Trusted Contacts use the same backend infrastructure, just powering different product models. Among other things, this means that it's totally reasonable to use both simultaneously if you want both types

I'm curious - what about the persistent sharing option here doesn't fit your needs? (For instance, is it that you're concerned about battery usage? Do you want a more active notification to the other person at the time of a t

I really wish the article actually linked to whatever the SOAS actually said, as it seems to be written with a very opinionated slant. It's hard to tell how many liberties the article is taking with its quoting.

That's not even an accurate representation of what is publicly claimed; Google runs a VRP specifically because it acknowledges that software sometimes has bugs and it's committed to fixing them. Google also employs quite a few of

There is not just a computing resource cost involved - keeping an API around means continuing to support the quirks of that interface, which means code complexity and maintenance costs, especially when the system the API talked to gets refa

I've seen systems that have two fields, e.g. priority and severity. Where severity is "how important the client thinks it is" and priority is "how important we think it is".

This is what escalation is for - the job of a VP or Director of Engineering is to decide what is actually urgent and approve fast-tracking it, and what should actually follow process. Having an efficient escalation process is critical.

You can do one way sharing (from you to her) even now. You just won't be able to do the opposite direction until an iOS version is available.

I'm sorry you feel that way. Google does work really hard to ensure every user's settings are honored.

by aiiane 10y ago
That specific setting controls the latter. There are separate controls for data collection (e.g. turning off Web History).

Both new and old G+ have this style of layout for the main stream (or at least, multi-column layout). The OP of this thread is specifically in the "one-up" view when you link to a single individual post.

Sometimes compromise isn't the goal. Sometimes the goal is just to eventually find a way to do something that not everyone will agree with while not completely alienating the dissenters. You don't have to agree with something to b

A preferred method for doing this at Google is to open a bug, and then leave the TODO in the code with a reference to the bug number. This has the advantage that if someone comes by to refactor the code later, they'll have the chance t

I really wish philosophers would stop using a half baked understanding of trans folk as an intellectual plaything.
