I know Terraform isn't by Google. I'm saying that's what Xooglers are expected to know since this new meta of IaC buzzword has been present in Google for close to a decade. It's nothing new. Also, do you really need it w

How many of those sold still get any use? I gave mine away after a month after the initial wonder wore off. My friend has like 3 separate models, and he's never played anything beyond Beat Saber. The headsets just collect dust now. But

On the flip side, Xooglers are expected to do that. That's mostly the reason they are hired for. If they ever suggested just hosting a static page with 0.01 QPS on an existing API server, they'd be deemed as failed Googlers. Every

To be honest, I only know Telnet as the tool I used to play MUD games like Castle Arcanum.

Really? I just hopped on public transport, and could visit any friend within 20 minutes. Or just suit up and go on a hike. Or maybe take a walk in the exceedingly beautiful city. I never understood this complaint from the naysayers. Having

Melodrama from the blog post aside, publicly downgrading a talk for an industry wide conference is very much a slap to a speaker's face. "Hey we think you have great ideas to share, and would really like you to share them." O

Reads like someone who doesn't cook, but went too deep down the YouTube product minmax research hole with America's Test Kitchen.

Fair point. Then again it's difficult to figure out what you are interested in in university at 18/19yo. Maybe just a vague curiosity, maybe the paycheck. But you have to actually take the course to know. I wish there's a bet

Are you my prof? If we weren't interested, we would have quit during the first semester. Our very first assignment was to design a modified Miller. After nights of struggling with the software and connecting transistors, we were then t

Yeah you're right. It probably really comes down to a lack of potential employers. Hopefully this push by the US can change that.

Last I heard it was Micron. Not too sure what X got into. He was definitely a genius though. [Edit] Just checked. He has left the industry a few years back, and is now a software engineering manager. Even the brightest student has given up.

It makes no sense because if the semiconductor industry only hires the absolute best student of the cohort, that's a way higher barrier of entry than software where 90% of the students in my coding class is now working in MANGA. That s

I majored in semiconductors out of genuine interest. It was fascinating to me how miniature components can be turned into digital and analog devices. It turned out to be one of the most boring things I've ever touched. Cadence was an e

On the other hand, my friend was showing me his Facebook page, and I noticed the Facebook logo is heavily pixelated on his 4K monitor. How SVG is still not the default for site logos is beyond me.

Have you been on mum groups? It's 80% awesome and supportive people giving advice, and 20% intense judging. Of that 20%, there are so many parents with their own biased experience trying to justify their parenting actions by telling ot

To give a little perspective, we would cosleep back home when there's familial support. But we would let the kids sleep on their own when we're living in foreign land with no one else to help us. Babies want physical connection du

If the point is to capture the point in time culture, remake the films with a year appended to it. Just don't remaster or edit old films with modern censorship bias.

One critique I have is that this presents a binary option of either full monolith and microservices. The truth is somewhere in between where you have dependent services large enough to warrant being their own monolith being split off. Break

It really depends on where the languages are from. I find learning languages from different worldviews helps me with judging other cultures less. Someone on this thread said something about being able to consume content in other cultures. T

Haha, man I had a 35 year finance plan to save enough for retirement and children's education, with a target value amounting to just north of a week of working as Pichai. Why do we even have a C suite? Can we have a company run with di

I have an irrational concern about using security products from a company post-merger or acquisition. It has never ended well for me as an anecdotal user. Going public is taking that worry even further. Make keys, sell keys. The end. What&#

It's a system design question. High throughout on the scale of Google means you'd laser any log ingestion service to death. He was probably looking for a distributed way to label logs and build an ingestion service that shards reg

Time lapse videos are created from photos taken over a period of time. If you create a 30fps 10 minute video, that's already 18000 photos. It's quite a pain in the ass to import, color grade, deflicker etc. So one would usually w

It's mostly because societies, where they're minorities, actively work against their assimilation. Just look at the US alone where they're always the outsiders.

Calling it a strong enough link is giving it too much credit. It's more of an acknowledgement of lineage. Not difficult when names, festivals, languages are retained. In fact, if you're within 3 generations of emigration, you woul

No you're right, I was slightly worried about the usage of p2p and was expecting someone to correct me. Apologies for using the wrong word. I was referring to the fact that self-destruct messages in Google Chat can be seen within 24h r

Slightly different. Google Chat logs aren't direct p2p, they are most definitely logged records. Otherwise the messages wouldn't still be there when you log out and back in. However, they are tagged to be ephemeral and self-destru
