This is something that can be difficult to learn even if you've been working in the industry (lord knows we've all seen awful practices at various companies in our career). This is probably not popular advice, but of all the place

Christ, what next? Ping pong tables create an inclusivity problem? Music played in the lobby? Catering? Anything that can conceivably differentiate individuals is fair game for these inclusivity nuts. People's tastes are different, wha

It depends what role the manager plays. Some of the best managers I've ever had were not "tech people". Their job was to ensure that we had what we needed to do our jobs effectively, and that we were delivering the level of s

That page mentions that it supports the google-cloud-python libraries, which are the primary GCP gRPC client libraries for Python. The Apiary service-discovery library you are referring to is called google-api. The new GAE version doesn&#

I'll say this in GCP's favor: it has an extremely generous free tier and a $300 credit for signing up, a ton of fantastic tutorials and walkthroughs at https://codelabs.developers.google.com , and they seem to be at the

"The nice area expands" - basically what gentrification is. If public transit opens up travel options for poorer (usually minority) areas, young white people who can't afford to live in the city will start moving there, bring

I noticed on part 1 the graph of SF vs NYC housing elevation is shown in feet, but the text to the side describes the situation in meters. It would probably be better to use the same units between them. The same issue is found in the 2nd g

I'd take it a step further and ask why we always consider depression, anxiety, drug abuse, etc. as an individual's "mental illness", when many of these illnesses seem to be inexorably linked to the broader societal sickn

Former GCP support here. Bigtable and Cloud Datastore (or the newer, shinier Firestore) are very different, and meant for different purposes. Bigtable is meant for wide-column data at high volume. If your data can be organized into simple

"Superior error handling and easier debugging are helping it gain popularity over Python and R" What the fuck are they talking about? I thought a "feature" of Go is that it DOESN'T have any error handling, and it fo

Googler here, no relation to the colab team. What probably prompted us to introduce this is that it was an internal project that many of us really really like and use quite often, and we thought it would be nice if you guys could use it too
