It's funny to suggest that after hours trading means less. The people trading during the regular session were literally just gambling, whereas the people trading in the after are trading on new fundamental information. What I'd r

It wasn't like they learned their lesson, either. They've continued to staff up with morons and to report a lot of falsehoods and distractions in the years since the Iraq War days.

Well, the stock dropped a bit after the report, but then it fell off a cliff during the call. It must be the forecast and not the results that is really spooking people.

You seem to have conflated a bunch of different things and confused them with a monolithic repository. There's no reason why a monorepo requires you to have a gigantic development box ... you identify and compile only the transitive d

Your mental model of how this works within Google is completely foreign to me. I think you've made an unfounded assumption somewhere.

by ebikelaw 8y ago
You're arguing for the nonexistence of something that obviously exists. There are tens of thousands of engineers at Google working in this manner on one of the largest codebases ever assembled.

At Google yes, you would be expected to fix everybody. This will also give you exposure to client use cases and form a good basis for arguing your change is safe, necessary, and correct. The idea that clients can run on the old library fore

See, this is where your argument broke down for me. Once you’ve decided there is some library of common code, and assuming you factor out that code into another repo, you’ve just lost your ability to easily make breaking changes to the comm

Dependencies are explicit so the build tool (Bazel, to an approximation) compute the transitive closure of requirements of the desired target. There are more details about testing at [1] 1: https://static.googleusercontent.com&#x

Even at google this is true. There are naturally multiple monorepos :) For example the Linux kernel devs have their own. This makes sense since the kernel-user interface is strongly defined.

There are a _LOT_ of services that treat the URL as a secret. If you're leaving these URLs in your browser history on a public computer other people can access them. For example, the images served up by Google Photos, that have the f

If you are leaving browser history in public libraries, you have bigger problems than Dropbox Paper.

I guess this would be a good way to operate dunning-kruger.com, but if you want your site to stay up this seems problematic. If you introspective application forms some belief about "usual" memory usage when it's idle an unl

If you set THP to madvise without also having some hack that calls madvise on your program's text, you'll be throwing out significant amount of CPU rate ... 5-15% in my experience. That's something to weigh against the cost

Great question! You only care about this if you care about cost utilization. If you don't care about cost then you will just statically pre-allocate the space on a host, waste the slack, and never overcommit. If you do care about cos

If the program takes any time at all then the compiler was not optimal :-) But really, people don’t appreciate that icache and iTLB misses are absolutely crucial to real-world performance. The cache is everything. Code layout makes a massiv

One of the inputs here is profile samples from numerous production hosts. It’s something that you might only get from a large deployment. Similar to Google’s GWP (the 2nd and 9th references in this paper).

These short conspiracy theories are hilarious. All the available evidence points to a conspiracy by the sell side. They’re the ones with entire websites devoted to worshipping Tesla and Musk where words of skepticism are grounds for banishm

Anybody who wants “Tesla’s” battery technology need only pick up the phone, call Panasonic, and order it.

All those things sound like antipatterns to me. If your application is supposed to fetch HTTPS pages then there should be an integration test for that, so you would never have to debug it in production. Having shared objects on the machin

I have no idea since I'm not in the finance department. Start up an AWS m1.small instance and see what kind of CPU you're using. You may be surprised. Even AWS's current mainstream "M4" offering is using a CPU fr

Can you remember even one? I'm interested. I've used Go at Extremely Large Scale (tm) and never thought it was terribly troublesome.

It certainly says a lot about marketing and mass psychology. But then again, anyone who will pre-order any kind of product is a self-identifying irrational economic actor. There's no accounting for them.

Yep. You can walk into any Chevy dealer nationwide right now and walk out in an hour with a Bolt for under $35k. There are 114 of them sitting in inventory within 25 miles of my house, according to Chevy's web site.

The inside of a Model 3 is not anywhere near as nice as the inside of any other expensive car. For $40k at an Acura dealer you will get the top-of-the-line interior with fancy stitching on the seats, an actual instrument package, Android A

When I'm evaluating a system like this what I want to read about is how is it hardened against client stupidity. For example, someone deploys an application in my datacenter and it emits metrics that have gibberish in their names (con

I doubt anyone can answer this for you, but why shouldn't it be? It is a very sensible language and toolchain. When writing source, it is easy to write tests and testable code and to run the tests as part of your build. At build tim

This is not in accordance with my experience. The life of an Intel platform in a datacenter is more like 7-10 years.
