Good points. But, they also faced the same issue with Borg - presumably it was hard to open source, so, they created Kubernetes instead. There is nothing stopping Google from doing the same thing with Spanner or BigTable. Such a move would

Its an interesting article. Though, I kinda feel like we're missing a good chunk of the story. As dominate as AWS is now, it was probably even more dominate in the time period we're talking about due to really haven gotten a big h

Not really sure what you are going for here. But, I kinda read this as downplaying the harrasment that women face. I'd assume thats not what you are trying to say, so, I'd suggest clarifying your comment.

Very true. But all the same, when I see an article with about 25 comments, click on it, and see that the text has poor contrast, I know exactly what all those comments are going to be saying. Probably nothing about the article at all. The f

Maybe a bit pedantic, but, isn't RecyclerView in the support library which is open source? And since the support library is bundled with each app, you actually could fork it and ship a customized version with your app if you wanted.

Ah, good call. I did slightly misinterpret what was being said. I think my overall point still stands, though.

I don't disagree - I just very much hate the phrase "over engineered" as I think it never adds anything to a discussion.

While I understand your point, looking at that code, the first word into my mind isn't "trivial".

It's an interesting topic - but, the linked Reddit thread isn't all that interesting itself. It's most just a collection of unsupported conspiracy theories.

This is like taking a stand against seatbelts. No one can do you from doing so, but it makes very little sense to and seems like it has more to do with an insistence of being contrary than to make a point or actually change something.

What does running their own data center have to do with it? As I understand it, this daemon could be deployed to a VM instance.

I thought I had read at some point that generic associated types we're equivalent to HKTs in terms of what they can express. Or maybe that they were theorized to be so. Is that not the case? (Not critical, just curious)

So, basically day 1 of owning HBO, they tell the employees that they aren't making enough money (even though they are quite profitable) and that they are going to have to work harder. I'm speculating here, but I'm guessing th

That's not really accurate. Even in cases were 32 bit and 64 bit operations are equally fast on the CPU, 32 bit values still take up half the memory. For many workloads, the limiting factor is cache space. So, if you can use 32 but val

This type of thing seems to keep happening. And there doesn't seem to be a good solution. Browser vendors don't want to scrutinize every extension available on their platforms since there is no financial incentive to. Notably, I d

My confusion? I don't remember saying I was confused and I don't care for your condescending tone. So, before someone can solve a problem, they first have to go hat-in-hand to a standards body and ask for permission to? Only once

The "sane" thing to do is to complicate the protocol by building it on top of both SCTP _and_ UDP? How is it the "sane" thing to do to make the protocol more complicated with a fallback that easily allows the middleboxes

by dagenix 8y ago
I don't see how any of this is true. The problem with SCTP is that middleboxes don't understand it and tend to drop it. This create an unfortunate situation where middleboxes refuse to support it because no-one uses it and no-one
