I love that Figure 1, "High Level Google Architecture", is unnecessarily (but à la mode of the time) in 3D.

It prevents delegation, though, which is an important use case for some APIs. As in "I want this third-party service to read my calendar from another server, but I don't want it to hijack my account, and I want to be able to revok

Citi has a similar section, and it's crap. If it were programmable I could use a third-party version of it.

Ok, but we're not talking about a specific dish, we're talking about ingredients, so to speak. It's surprising because the US has huge coasts that span climates. I was surprised by it too, and I'm from Spain, whose cuisi

It is like VB 5/6's RC. And it is unlike RC implementations in which the programmer has to write the retains and releases. It is not, though, a compiler optimization.

by euyyn 9y ago
No, the A in ARC doesn't refer to the compiler removing redundant retains/releases. It refers to the programmer not having to write a single one in the first place.

What 20 lines of code, and what has the amount to do with whether the criticism is constructive or not, and valid or invalid? "Doing things this other way would serve us better, for this reason" is constructive criticism by defini

"Trivially solved by <doing some work> instead of not having to do anything if you used MySQL" is precisely the ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ answer that's just a snarky way to ignore constructive criticism.

If a bully smashes an iPad or a Chromebook owned by the school, it's no different to breaking any other school property like a microscope. You summon the parents and bill them.

Take for example opening processes instead of threads. How would you make that more strict? Spin up a VM each time? Is MySQL wrong in using threads?

The issues talked about in the presentation aren't caught at compile time, testing, or canarying, by PostgreSQL. The database "failing" here, according to the presentation, meant outages for Uber.

The response to "MySQL handles our devs’ bugs better" is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ over and over, but, in my opinion, it's perfectly valid criticism. When writing a tool for real-world businesses to use, the path of least resistance nee

So your opinion is that big corporations are forcing people to move to big cities by manipulating their perception of reality? Like with ads that suburban or rural life is crap, or what?

I don't understand your point about third-party clients. APIs defined in .proto files can have both clients and servers implemented by anybody.

Sounds like those backend services needed better security too. It seems orthogonal to whether you have 3 different API surfaces (one for web, one for mobile app, one for backend servers), or the same for all. At Google, gRPC allowed us to

But we also use the speed of light to define other units after we found out, by experiment, that it was indeed constant.
