Right.. and it's that peakiness factor that really kills you. PS: If you were 'anonymous user 21' looking at the spreadsheet around 20 mins ago, sorry I was screwing with things, making all the bills look like $0, it's fixed again now.

I got so confused by this retrieval pricing scheme I decided to make a spreadsheet to calculate the bill for various usage patterns, feel free to fork it and edit the numbers/scenarios: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AnYE99fI

> if your manager says, "I'll fuck you over in Perf if you do a 20% project", then you don't have 20%-time. I find it hard to imagine a manager could get away with saying that, but even if they did, I think it would be an empty threat.

Mayson, can you be more specific? What has happened to them? Gmail: I can't think of anything negative that's happened to Gmail in recent times (unless you didn't like the UI redesign - there are certainly mixed opinions on that), and certa

I've been using XMonad in a dual-monitor setup since I started working at Google in January... haven't had any problems with it. My general (rough) impression from walking around the New York office is that about one fifth of engineers here

I'm curious, why do you view the cached version 50% of the time?

It varies a great deal. Each team has a distinctive culture, and there's a lot of individual variation too. I typically arrive at Google about 9:20 (until recently the breakfast cafeteria at the NYC office closed at 9:30, although that's no

This is only a major issue if you are in the US. Here in Australia, as well as in Canada & most of Western Europe, universal health care is a lot closer to reality. Perhaps that's part of the reason why more than half the people at Sydn

It's time to let go and trust the developers of the software you're using to know when updates are stable, or when you really need a critical bug or security fix (if you don't trust them, why are you running their software anyway?). Package
