This is likely an article for big companies to move their apps to GCP. Google probably wants them to be able to utilize preemptible nodes to reduce cost and with a monolith you can't really set meaningful service levels agreements if y

I need TOC, search, predictable URLs, plain markdown (no templates, no complexity, etc), and all the features of this thing.

Does this index a file tree and create a document table of contents? I'd love to have a public version of g3docs.

How easy is it to style these components? I've worked at a lot of IoT companies that run full-blown android just to get access to the UI libraries on android. I've been looking for something high level that can be used to build a

Unfortunatelt in my experience, science is nothing without tenure and writing easily reproducible research is not what gets you tenure. Writing many papers with many citations is.

I think this is a common problem experienced when documenting the fabrication needs of scientific equipment. I used to work for a lab that had a physicist who worked a lot with magnetometers. A magnetometer is literally just a coil of wire

I think it's more common now among tech employees. It's also probably less common in areas with cheaper housing. Personally I feel this kind of shared housing situation would probably be much more enjoyable than loving alone.

I've heard of a few people living like this, especially in areas with very high rent. I'm assuming it's not extremely uncommon and it doesn't sound like the worst way to live.

If you live with 2 or 3 other SWEs this is an attractive option. You have enough PCIe lanes to pack in 4 GPUs. You have enough spare horse power to also host basic home services like a file server, gitlab instance, home automation stuff, vp

Pointers living through a render pass aren't the main use case he is interested in. It's a problem space that many engineers are familiar with so it's easy to talk about. Game developers have some very domain-specific problem

> highly susceptible to YAGNI premature abstraction I think in most cases this sentiment is correct but I think Blow's argument is that you are going to need it. In other talks he put forth some use cases where this has worked for

I'm confused by this as well. A while ago I needed to count the number of lines in an ununiformly long text file. I was initially using wc but that got too slow so I wrote something that was like wc but only did line counting. I polish

I never really store data on my local machines anymore. All of my data is either hosted only on, or backed up to, my storage server. I think the selling point of ceph is that every server in my apartment can be part of my storage cluster an

I've seen a lot of the hacker community focusing on btrfs and zfs but very little focusing on ceph. I think ceph has a lot of the features that we want in a file system and some things that aren't even possible on traditional file

Communicating or interfacing massive legacy code bases together. You can write python code and call it from Ruby code in a slightly, but livable, way. Also eventually I'm assuming there's some plans to compile these other language

It would be really cool if this included some wheels of misfortune down the line. Would be nice to help get people acclimated to debugging some more common issues like unmet PVCs, node with bad disk/hardware, pods with incorrect resour

I'm pretty sure something like Kube could be used to do this using CronJobs, pod affinities, and Prometheus+AlertManager for alerts and notifications. You can specify memory, CPU, retries, monitor, and run on many computers. I think Ku

I can't wait until there's tooling that takes advantage of this. Tying sparse checkout into Gradle or Bazel would make this a lot easier.

Unfortunately I'm using python, Java, node, and C. I don't know much go and I don't get many changes to use it at work.

I wish more engineers cared about auto complete. A lot of software people I know say "just use vim" or "just remember things" and I feel these view points really stifle progress. Just recently I've been trying to us

> Why do they need to store so much data in a single DB, and could they use a different approach? Rewriting tools that already work well is a big of an extreme solution, but Google also has the resources to do something like that. I see

Is writing/improving tools to fit your needs considered bad? If Google needed to store an exabyte of data into MySQL and they rewrote something with a MySQL compatible APIb (PingCap) would this have been bad?

There's not a lot of information on the site about the architecture or storage solutions used. Do the authors have more info about this space?

It looks like the author of this language is using it for game development. What features does Beef provide that other languages don't from a performance perspective? It looks like it has a class & object style. Does it give you to

The Bazel build system. As time goes on we're going to have more languages, more runtimes, more packaging requirements. It's pretty clear there will not be "only one" language. Right now we don't have a build system

Clients in the cloud. Essentially running your dev environment, terminal + IDE + VCS + entire isolated copy of prod, as a web service. This way you can deploy, curl, and tinker to your heart's content.
