The very first slide says "Last Revision Date: January 2008" so this deck looks to be almost 16 years old. https://www.justice.gov/d9/2023-10/417378.pdf Disclaimer: I work at Google, but not on ads and h

That Incident Report is phrased awkwardly. GCP does not have a single global control plane. Each product has a separate control plane, and many/most of those are regional. GCE (Compute) does have a global control plane today. The GCP C

This is great, hopefully it takes off! One piece of feedback is that it doesn't restore the scroll position when going from list page -> detail and then pressing back. That breaks browsing scenarios where you're looking at the

Yup, the 2x2 can hold 950lbs: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4870283 We can also observe this (to a lesser degree) when they build two story Lego statues like at the Mall of America. I'll admit I've never se

There's bank data aggregators like Yodlee. If the app uses that it can auto import transactions. Ghostfolio seems to be oriented around manual import though (export csv from your bank and import yourself periodically).

GCPs concept of Regions and Zones is different from AWS. For the same level of physical isolation as an AWS AZ you have to use different GCP Regions. https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/regions-zones

Cells are not about guarding against AZ failure, but about partitioning the production infra to protect against bad deploys and configuration changes. Every AZ is split into many different cells.

This is only a problem if the computational power is sitting idle, or if there's reason to believe more efficient servers exist and are not being used effectively. Of course replacing millions of functioning servers just to reduce ener

I'm pretty sure even on 64bit v8 doesn't use NaN boxing. Do you have docs or code that show it does? Yes other engines use NaN boxing, but not all engines do.

Not all engines use NaN boxing, for example v8 uses pointer tagging: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63550957/why-does-v8-use... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16985390

All modern web browsers still do tiling (at the compositing layer level). It's the only way to handle large layers and scrolling efficiently. Some also implement partial redraw into the tiles to handle things like cursors blinking to a

At the expense of O(n) index access. At least Java and JS have compact strings. C# is always UTF-16 because they exposed too much implementation detail to be able to transparently do the compact string optimization.

Yup. That's how Java, JS and C# all behave.

Where do you see that limitation? The docs say there's a separate event for merge_group which I assume means you can configure different checks. https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/configuring-branches...

Presumably the thinking was it would raise brand awareness and sell Windows licenses. Schools in that era were also Mac heavy so focusing on PC toys was possibly a way to get kids into the MS ecosystem.

How do you feel like promises went in the wrong direction? (I'd also add modules to your list fwiw, they were designed without taking performance into account.)
