At Simacan (also a Dutch company) we have exactly the same architecture. All of the deployment code is duplicated, leaving only the business logic to fill in. Fast, easy, simple to understand and scale.

Thing is, Google made the monorepo decision back when they were still small.

Strange. Here in the low lands (Netherlands) almost no cars cross red lights. Ever. Unless they are half asleep perhaps, but it just doesn’t happen.

If rootkits stay on HDDs, yes. But they don’t. There are hundreds of firmware locations on a machine. Many of them are known to be hackable. So it isn’t unthinkable that a wipe of a HDD will not be sufficient to thwart a state level actor.

One of the few eureka moments I’ve had was while reading The Art of the Metaobject Protocol [1]. Some famous computer scientists regard this as the best CS book coming out in the 90’s. [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x2

The reason Amazon plans like that is because it is faster. Left turns with traffic lights have a higher average waiting time. Also, the route can have left turns, they just have a much higher penalty.

Because it reeks of voluntary self-censorship pressed by political correctness? Also, where to draw the line? Should we rename Brainfuck? Is white-space PC?

If this study is corroborated by other studies, we should change our investment strategy of high-tech companies based on the location of the personnel and firms.

Of course a 50-hour employee is productive, but would you say consistently over a longer number of weeks he's 12.5% more productive than a 40-hour employee? To give myself as an example: I work out 3-4 times a week, spend my time effec

Do you expect these hours to be as effective as, say, a 40-hour employee?

The German Autobahn has at least 50% an enforced speed limit. The remaining roads (non-Autobahn) have limits and Germans would complain for a variety of reasons if these limits would be taken away.

From an entertainment perspective I might agree. However, music is a cultural expression (or should be). We should have stories to tell each other. Emotions more complicated than maudlin songs lamenting a lost love. Take away the content an

Well, I know for sure that PCM is not the right format for these kind of applications. However, I couldn't remember the abbreviation for the protocols anymore.

You are absolutely right. I have used an incorrect source. The search was for forward error-correction in modern protocols... G.711 has neither properties. SMPTE2022-5/7 have such provisions, but I am not an expert in these protocols.

This approach has a rather severe disadvantage: packet loss. Especially in crowded WiFi networks the performance is going to be dismal. There are many codecs that address this such as G.711 codec. PCM is not the right approach.

Maybe Google’s choice for monorepo was pure chance. However, on many occasions the choice was challenged and these kinds of arguments were (successfully) made in order for it to stay.

The key here is reverse dependency management. “If I change X, what would influence this change?”. This can be achieved with single repo better than multi-repo due to the completeness of the (dependency) graph.

Another hypothesis: open offices emerged due to an archaic perception of single closed offices. It’s not about the function, but about the implied communication of the perception of closed offices. In other words: marketing.

Well, Google has succesfully defended their monorepo approach on multiple occasions. So, before dissing this approach as 'non-SV-canon', read Google's [1] and Twitters [2] accounts on why they do what they do. [1] Why Google

But it is actionable. Each and every time you chose a certain technology (FP over OOP, immutable vs. mutable state, static typing vs. dynamic typing, shared vs. specific terminology), we make a choice. These choices together drive our commu
