This actually sounds like an argument for why he should've used a smaller subset (or different) of C++. For example: make all constructors private and empty and use public static factory methods for manufacturing new instances. Now the

To be fair, today we have what we believe to be (much) more accurate models of how much computation a human mind is capable of and how long it will take to build computing machines operating at that scale. 36 years ago the argument that AGI

If it's actually that serious a problem (and I'm not a rocket scientist, so I don't know), it suggests a solution: stabilize the landing bed on the ship relative to the sea. Perhaps have the bed float above the ship electroma

Perhaps because in OS X I (mostly -- about on par with Linux) install software from repositories curated by people that I trust (Apple, Homebrew), and then I don't have to put up with Linux.

I was born in 1983, so that puts me at the leading edge of what I think most people classify as millennials, but honestly what you're saying doesn't resonate strongly with me. I can (and have recently) lived without a car, but not

This, a thousand times, but I believe it also requires an intention of humility behind the question. There are still plenty of ways to phrase a critique as a question and come across as a jerk. People who are intentionally jerks will find a

Out of curiosity, how bad are taxes? How much of that 20k could a developer actually expect to take home? To give an example, I live in Seattle in the US (which is relevant as many states in the US apply additional taxes on top of those app

Why not both? Many Google engineers (including folks like me outside of Chrome) use Chromebooks as our primary laptops. In my case that also (mostly) makes my Chromebook Pixel my primary computer. I average 25-100 tabs, many of them doing &

Yes. As I mentioned in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8938244 , I'm an engineer on Google Compute Engine. I talked about how my team at Google, specifically, handles this in https://news.ycombinator.com

My undergraduate program at Georgia Tech attempted to do this in CS2335 (Software Practicum). That I recall, our first project was an IM client/server, our second was a client/sever game involving programmable automatons, and our

I'm not actually sure this works in... well, not Android and Chrome. I can TBR, but as far as I know I can't self-LGTM (and certainly not self-Approve).

Others have answered this reasonably (namely that Google has no one way to manage this process and it's really up to individual teams to self organize as works best for them), but here's probably more text than you wanted about sp

Oh, interesting. I didn't know it was actually in response to ARP issues. By the time I showed up it was just how bits were wired. Apparently I should've gone to the source :)

This particular problem would not crop up on Google Compute Engine. See this cryptic snippet from /sbin/ifconfig on a production GCE VM: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 42:01:0a:f0:40:dd inet addr:10.240.64.221

What do you find confusing? Stated differently, what questions do you have about the platform that you find do not have straightforward answers, or for which straightforward answers were difficult to find? (note: I work on Compute Engine, s

(note: I work on GCE networking) Yes, certainly, it's always possible that hardware will fail with no notice, and any architecture needs to account for that (this is equally true if you're running your own infrastructure, of cours

This is incorrect. Security Key is not just a one-way OTP generator. It is a bidirectional challenge response system. This requires explicit browser support to work.

I'd be curious to know what issues you ran into with GCE. I work on the team, and external reports of performance or stability issues are helpful.

In terms of (a), why not build/host the cluster on your own gear? For (b), how do you earn that trust other than continuing to try taking on customers and... well, supporting them?

I actually think it has more to do with dosing the time out over a week. I'll happily commit a few minutes a few times a day to looking at some cool photos. Ask me to sit down for an hour? Sorry, I have to return some videotapes.

Google Play will let you pin music to your device from their streaming connection. That keeps them around until you unpin them.
