This incident, the blue screen of death, is exactly the same as a panic.

The problem is that Google infra requires everything running to be new. There is a build horizon of 6 months. Everything built with code older than 6 months is not able to run on Borg. And since Google deprecates many internal infra tools&#

If you think AV cannot stop viruses in the same privilege level, then that is more reason for AV to run in the kernel mode. Because by your logic, an AV in user mode cannot stop a virus in user mode.

Some of them might have saner rollout strategy and/or better quality control.

A common pain point for me is parallel data loading and processing for PyTorch or TensorFlow. Multiprocessing has a lot of bugs and pain points to deal with when doing ML. Examples: https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Apytorch

The problem is that some viruses may run in the kernel mode, so an AV has to do the same, or it will be powerless against such viruses.

I would imagine that their best weapon is that so many other big organizations are using CS, so choosing CS gives the decision maker the best shield from responsibilities, similar to "nobody gets fire by choosing IBM". Of course,

Surely there are more than one anti-virus that can check the audit box?

I too want to see Linux more widely adopted, but it won't prevent this from happening. People will install corrupted kernel modules on Linux too for anti-virus purposes.

None of the points you mention detracts from the correctness of his/her statement.

I don't think that is possible. How can an anti-virus not in kernel mode defend against viruses running in kernel mode then?

If you have done ML with PyTorch or Tensorflow you will know how much multithreading can improve data loading performance. Currently multiprocessing provides the necessary parallelization of data loading but it is painful and riddle with bu

Without static reflection, we need to write a lot of boilerplate code, and those boilerplate is not guaranteed to stay in sync with the struct definition. That is why static reflection is sorely needed.

What I commonly need is JSON serialization/parsing directly with structs.

That's extremely dangerous. Any software running as a wheel user can escalate privileges willy nilly.

Go popularize it, and still leads in the easiness of cross compilation.

I see this kind of mindset often--if we remove the features useful but not perfectly secure from users, we can protect them from such insecurity. But this mindset is wrong. What happens instead is that users will fulfill their needs in even

I don't hate GUIs, but TUIs have their benefit. Most prominently it doesn't require display, which most servers don't have, and would take a lot of resources and latency if tunneled remotely.

If that becomes true, both remote work AND offshoring may soon be increasingly rare at Google.

That's not true at all. (Excluding the factor of location), the compensation of a SWE depends not only the level, but also on tenure, on performance rating (and the history of rating), and on stock market fluctuations (whether the stoc

I can only speculate: some directors/vps got headcount reduction goals (reduce eng cost by XXX with deadline at XXX), and they couldn't meet those goals if the layoff is to be delayed until the new team is fully operational.
