As someone in the midst of transitioning an organization to GKE, Google Domains was the first shutdown that truly frightened me - AFAIK the first true B2B IT offering that was unceremoniously shuttered. Domain registration may be a regulato

Setting aside the existing pro video pipeline... it's for this reason that if I were Meta, I'd be terrified about what Apple does next, from the perspective of photorealistic capture for VR/AR applications. Even if the next

That must have been an incredible experience! Do you have any projects (that you’re allowed to share) that you’re particularly proud of, or that particularly inspired you from your time there?

Given that people have been sued for patent infringement for merely using office scanners [0], patent encumbrance is absolutely a chilling effect even for hobbyists. [0] https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/01&

Huh - the idea of training a model for conflict resolution is really interesting. For code, for instance, given the massive dataset that Github has of how merge conflicts were resolved in real codebases... I could see the possibility of a

This is a case study in why there's the word "dev" in devops. While Kubernetes gets really far towards giving you all the dials you need, at the end of the day those dials are the result of low-level code, and of people who m

In a way, this could be considered adding a speculative transformation of the input as part of the input to some layer, and the network deciding whether or not to use that transformation. It would be akin to a convolution layer in a CNN, al

Are there any standalone projects for this? A stable docker image that I can point to a Postgres server that can handle both archiving streamed logs to storage and populating a standby (say, on a different cloud) in real time?

While this is technically true, WKWebView (which I believe is used by all non-Apple browsers on iOS) does allow Javascript JIT, because the renderer runs in a subprocess with these permissions. See: https://news.ycombinator.com&#

FWIW as of a few months ago, Google and Mozilla were already prototyping porting their respective engines to iOS to prepare for this eventuality: https://9to5mac.com/2023/02/07/new-iphone-browsers/ http

It occurs to me that QUIC could benefit from a single kernel-level coordinator that can be plugged for cooperation - for instance, a dynamic bandwidth-throttling implementation a la https://tripmode.ch/ for slower connectio

Since it lives on top of UDP, I believe all you need is SOCK_DGRAM, right? The rest of QUIC can be in a userspace library ergonomically designed for your programming language e.g. https://github.com/quinn-rs/quinn - an

Something as simple as a field rename can result in downtime done naively, and showing a candidate a badly named field and asking them what they’d do to fix it can be quite illuminating!

I'm somewhat hopeful about the synergies here. Giving musicians an easy path to monetize their catalog, as well as market their availability to be commissioned by brands, is a good thing... especially when artists are being dually hamm

Securing multiple tenants on a GPU is a really, really hard problem. As https://gpuweb.github.io/gpuweb/#malicious-use notes, there's a tremendous surface for undefined behavior. Now, it does appear that the secur

I would not be surprised if there is some P(controversy | viewing user, time elapsed since original flagging) metric, and when it goes below a threshold, certain non-prestige or international ads can be shown - ads not likely to cause any

Perhaps it's more that when the search page primarily has non-error events (as in your demo), it's entirely a sea of white characters that all look the same, and trying to scan it for patterns with one's eyes can be fatiguing

https://publicwww.com/ is a great tool for this, though the size of its index leaves a lot to be desired. Still, for enumerating well-SEO'd homepages that use a certain tech stack, it's quite useful!
