Disclosure: I work on Google Cloud. I am not a lawyer, nor your lawyer, however the terms you're looking for are the Acceptable Use Policies for both Google Workspace (née GSuite) [1] and GCP [2]. Both Workspace and GCP offer support (

Just seems like implementation work. See the various TODOs from mbid like https://github.com/v8/v8/blob/dc712da548c7fb433caed56af9a021...

It looks like the current implementation [1] just always compiles to Bytecode which is then interpreted [2]. The usual one is more like PCRE JIT in that it defaults to using a macro assembler to generate machine code and execute it. So I wo

Cool idea! I also enjoy the double entendre of “flame graph” here for the flame war that you chose :). It’s not clear to me that I’d label the “functions” with the username. I’m not sure what other very short summary you might use, but I’d

The article references this as being the cover (and thanks the graphics editor for doing that digging). Full issue (warning slow PDF link) at https://www.ams.org/journals/notices/200911/200911-full-issu...

Yeah, that came off clumsily (I’d lost part of my comment while switching tabs on my phone). An AMD Rome/Milan part will give you 256 decent threads on a 2S box with a ton of RAM for say $20-25k at list price (e.g., a Dell power edge w

I think you’re right about the current state (not quite there, especially in raw $$s), but the potential is finally good enough that folks are investing seriously on the software side. The folks at Framestore and many other shops already

Dave, doesn’t that video show more like “50% faster”? Here’s the timecode (&t=360) [1] for the “production difficulty” result (which really doesn’t seem to be, but whatever). Isn’t there a better Vray or Arnold comparison somewhere? As

Yeah, AFAICT, none of the linked pages have a direct quote from the DOJ lawyer himself. Instead, they’re all reactions to what his argument is presumed to imply. This other article [1] has what is purportedly a related, direct quote: “In al

I’m just replying to the note about the title. However, as the grandparent post notes, “DOJ Argues” makes it sound like the Attorney General / the entire DOJ argues such a thing. “DOJ Lawyer” makes it clear “some lawyer at the DOJ said

Good catch. The article’s title is “US can kill its own citizens without review when state secrets are involved, DOJ lawyer argues” which clearly includes the “this is just one lawyer”. The submitter squeezed this into “DOJ Argues: US can k

Amusingly, Pixar did build the "Pixar Image Computer" [1] in the 80s and they keep one inside their renderfarm room in Emeryville (as a reminder). Basically though, Pixar doesn't have the scale to make custom chips (the entir

Congrats! I’ve meant to ask you/Brent: what do you think holds ptex back in VFX and animation? (For games, it’s clear that ptex is basically a nonstarter, since GPU texture mapping hardware can’t / won’t deal with it)

The “recipe” itself (the ingredients, the steps) isn’t copyrightable but the surrounding text of a “recipe” can be considered copyrightable. So you can happily reproduce the statements of facts and the process. You can’t include someone’s

I think supporting an explicit (large) page size addresses your concern. It’s not that you want to make four separate requests, it’s that you want the backend to give you more than a tiny amount of data. If you’re going to induce you the 40

Oh, but that’s an “API” for a Database. So that’s a fine exception to “you should offer cursors”, since that’s what you actually intend to present. A more generic API that happens to be backed by a database with a list of things in it, sh

Given the confusion over the reuse of the term “cursor”, I prefer the terms we (Google) have settled on for Pagination [1]: page token and page size. It’s often awkward to argue about “really, do I need to support pagination from the outset

Right, but depending on the tokio version (maybe) using block_on results in a hang or panic. I’ll see if futures_lite is any different, but I think it’s mostly on tokio’s side.

I'm hopeful that this leads to some focus on the ergonomics of "waiting for async things from sync code". Lots of "handlers" in the universe have synchronous interfaces, so if you want to implement them you end up n

Everything is a negotiation. But you’ll probably need an employer to push for that. Firing you just before your cliff is obviously not a particularly defensible action. More importantly, your last statement (“I don't really want any eq

This note from the article jumped out at me: > While engineers tend to trust passing test results, they often retry failing tests a number of times on the same version of code and consider failures followed by passing results as flaky. W

Thanks for the quick response! Let me clarify though. Each of Elastic, Redis (Labs) and Mongo (and many others) have put licenses in place to explicitly exclude people from taking their code and turn it into a service. I think that’s fine

Disclosure: I work on Google Cloud. What’s your take on the state of “run your own service, beat out the cloud providers”? Is there something particular you’d taken away from Chef “vs” AWS’s OpsWorks? The article waves this away a little to

Since this post in 2013, the major change in the US is the addition of 83(i) [1]. At least that way, folks who believe the stock will be liquid within 5 years, but don’t want to wait can exercise, defer taxes, change jobs and see how it goe
