The counter argument is that even if civilizations exist with all the properties you described, given the vastness of space, there should be another civilization that pattern matches to us.

That's fair, though `if (isInvalidPolicy) reject();` causes the same outage. So the eng process policy change seems to be failing open and slow rollouts to catch that case too.

I work on Cloud, but not this service. In general: - All the code has unit tests and integration tests - Binary and config file changes roll out slowly job by job, region by region, typically over several days. Canary analysis verifies thes

Modern computers are pretty great at scanning small blocks of memory repeatedly, so n^2 can be faster than the alternative using a map in cases for small N. I spent a lot of time fixing n^2 in blink, but there were some fun surprises: http

That won't handle resizing properly. This API lets you hook directly into the painting phase of rendering in the browser so you can both draw the correct size without forcing layout and handle resizing. It also gives the browser the fl

Using the word "like" is not as bad as it seems, and it's been quite common in language for longer than we think (though usage does seem to increase with each generation). There was a recent podcast that covered it with some

We discussed this back when creating web components, but the focus quickly became about SPA applications instead of MPAs and the demand for features like this was low in that space. I wish I would have advocated more for it though. I think

For most large scale apps (web or native) rollouts take multiple hours or even days. Ramps are slow to avoid widespread incidents and allow canary analysis to detect issues.

The big challenge with the approach not touched on in the post is version skew. During a deploy you'll have some new clients talk to old servers and some old clients talk to new servers. The ViewModel is a minimal representation of the

This is really cool, I love seeing folks use CSS in clever ways. :) My one feedback would be to avoid using attr selectors on the style attribute like [style*="--lqip:"]. Browsers normally lazy compute that string version of the s

That's a hydration problem though, it doesn't require magically serializing the running state like java Serializable wants to. It just needs a way to produce minimal inputs to then reconstitute the state again on the other side.
