Google products are generally dependent on a whole lot of services which only exist within Google, so it'd probably have to be rebuilt after a sale.

I don't see any indication we would be affected in there? Aside from that the author is also MD for New Zealand...

I like this theory too - but is performance review this week?

I don't think it's the load on Gmail that's an issue. I'd point more to Google Drive, Docs and the underlying shared storage infrastructure. Also keep in mind most of those 1.5 billion users won't be very active - a

Ok, I definitely want to know how you discovered that... (and found one of those 500 people to verify?)

There was an outage August 19th, 2019 - almost 1 year ago to the day. As I posted at the time: "Google often has a outage or two around this time of the year when all the US schools come back and millions of students log in at the same

The ink on writable optical disks fades over time... So of all the copies were written at the same time, they might all stop working at around the same time and cause problems :)

That's amazing - the accuracy of phone barometers is great, I found they could reliably detect the difference in pressure from raising or lowering the phone a meter or so. The compass is still terrible though!

I'm going to be evaluating CRDB (Enterprise version) for us next week - we also use pgtrgm with GIN as a really convenient way of making some simple searches like "SELECT * FROM users WHERE name LIKE '%bob%'" not ne

If you had bothered to do any research before posting this, you'd have found that the private passengers will pay $33,750 per night to be there, plus $105 each day per bag stowed, $42/kwh for power, and $50/gb for internet.

I'd settle for IP-based video conferencing that actually works, 100% of the time. As far as I can tell the major issues with that now are more from WiFi - Bufferbloat is particularly bad there and interference causes small dropouts (ru

Yeah, Heroku performance on shared dynos is really not great. The variability is very high also, so you'll get some requests seemingly randomly timing out. The dedicated performance dynos are better, but even more expensive. We were o

Our data-heavy API returns JSON responses from our DB in ~40ms using ActiveRecord. So no, it doesn't waste 100ms on every request! We're serving around 6000 requests like that per second.

Interested to try the new Surface Go - we brought one of the original ones as a test device and was quite disappointed. The performance, especially for web browsing, is far behind that of cheaper Chromebooks, even though it had more powerfu

Yeah, that's a great recipe - Much more concentrated cheese flavour than you can get with bechemel cheese sauce and easier to make too!

Mazda is currently updating all their models with the new infotainment which removes the touchscreen. Android auto and Car play still work with a rotary controller. The screen is also closer to the eyeline of the driver so you don't ha

I don't think you can judge uptime for either AWS or GCP from the status pages, both of them are slow to update their pages when issues start and plenty of less major issues (which could still bring down a individual customer) never ma

Asus motherboards (and probably others too) support a mode where you can split the x16 into 4 x4 connections and use https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboard-Accessories/HYPER-M-2-X1... to mount them.

Yeah, Lenovo is almost there with the X1 Carbon/Extreme and Razer's ones look good too - if they'd just fix the trackpads and have officially supported Linux with the Optimus problems fixed they'd be a great alternative

How is graphics switching working on those? AFAIK you need to use the discrete card for HDMI/displayport, and integrated for best battery life, but switching between them takes a reboot.

They're vague in there with if they actually filed a counter-claim - that's how DMCA works, if someone sends a complaint the content has to get removed quickly, unless you file a counter-claim, then you work it out in the courts.

We run a app making millions of API calls to Google every day, so they show up in our monitoring, even if they don't make the status page. It's a pattern I've noticed from getting paged at 3am (NZ time) this time of year goin
