This only accounts for hardware cost. What about the cost of writing the software services that you could pay Google Cloud to use? How much would it cost to write your own Compute Engine, or Datastore, or Pubsub, or Bigquery?

Keep in mind that Google Cloud is much larger than App Engine.

FWIW, there has been a thread-safe implementation of putIfAbsent(K, V) since ConcurrentMap was introduced in 1.5. computeIfAbsent just adds the additional property of avoiding possibly computing the value more than once if there is a race i

We spent hours figuring out a good way to use a databases in both dev and production with docker. It was tricky since docker containers don’t support persistence unless you use a mount-point. There were a few patterns documented which didn

The search results are based on user-submitted tags, right? So the quality should be expected to be shaky.

I'm not particularly ashamed to say I turn to unlicensed torrents for this purpose, but I would prefer if it weren't necessary. It's not necessary if you accept the cost that the makers of these films want to charge you.

nitpick: I don't think you need --no-track in `branch --merged` as no branch is being created with that command.

This type of comment presumes that there is a right number of services for a company to run. What number is that?

I think it is worth pointing out that 1) you have no idea what Quip does with the data once it gets past their web server 2) there is no mention of "end to end" in Quip's security document https://quip.com/ABb

Did the NDA specifically refer to the interview process? Usually they mention any sort of business practices or plans you might learn about in the course of interviewing; recruitment is highly unlikely to fall under that definition.

It's really weird considering that their stack doesn't NEED to be this complex.... This is such a silly statement to make from the outside of any organization.

In this scenario the distinction between GET and POST becomes irrelevant.

Parameters sent via GET can get cached by proxies and they appear in log-files. Not to argue in favor of sending sensitive data via GET, but I think it is worth pointing out that third-party proxies cannot see the URL or other parts of

Somewhat related, but the status page states Uptime last 30 days: 99.99% but https://status.slack.com/calendar shows quite a few incidents in the past 30 days. Do only total "outages" count against the uptime? F

Ah, I was assuming foolishly that we were talking about removing or inserting only at the head or the tail. All the more reason to be more detailed in a writeup than simply "Performance: O(n)" :)

It seems really silly to compare the "search/insert/delete performance" of HashSet to HashMap to ArrayList to LinkedList, since the fundamental purpose of each class is different. Not to mention that "search/in

Reddit should look at Snapchat: today they have a Nike filter live. This is smart monetization and gives more bucks than this affiliate hack. So Reddit should offer a photo filter feature? This comparison is hard to comprehend since their
