I did my PhD in the French Riviera. Some people were maxing out the extensions on their funding not because they couldn't defend on schedule, but they simply enjoyed their current work. But that might speak more to the misery of postdo

Except this doesn't seem to be the same form factor, not even close.

I feel so conflicted after reading that article. On one end, it does a good job explaining a neat trick some smart people have used. On the other hand, it abuses it as "a proof" for some trivial and only vaguely related advice.

My laptop does not have enough disk space to check out my repository. Also, security policies. But I like the first reason more. Then again, my laptop won't run friggin mosh, because of security policies.

Anecdata: some people disbelieve this ≤50% ops time figure. At the moment my SRE team is getting some flak for exceeding 30%, which exceeds the PA's guideline of 20% for the wrong reasons.

Actually dataflow is right, I should have written "disclosure". Which I am contractually obliged to in all discussions relating to Google. Then, I might be perceived as biased due to that employment. I might even be actually biase

Placement of the cache definitely matters, even more so if you can take advantage of the more specific data freshness requirements. Disclaimer: I work in Google. But I also worked a bit on effects of cache placement in my PhD.

I have no clue about softer materials, but setting up the tooling for making the simplest of plastic parts is a multi-step process where each step takes weeks. And, for roughly the same reasons as in software development, making that shorte

Having ubiquitous, reliable access to good VC doesn't eliminate the need to travel. Humans communicate so much better face to face. Source: I work in Google, spending up to half of my working time in VC. Still need to hop in a plane wh

And further 3% by having a linear revision history. With some luck it will even render diffs correctly. Disclaimer: I work at Google and hate docs. But acknowledge the thing works ok for its intended user.

True. But some of us are worried about what will happen if the rates increase. Also, any kind of liquidity problem seems more grave if your debt, which cost you the same despite 5x lower rates, is 5x more.

A vast majority of full time Googlers are bucketed onto ladders that are needed in pretty much any team. Say SWE, SRE-SWE (that can switch to SWE at will), TPGM, all kinds of managers. Much of the remainder are people who should be able to

I have on my desk a 2017 best paper award, for a paper printed in 2016, submitted 2015, being an extended version of a 2013 paper for a problem we solved in 2012. Academic publishing is like that.

I haven't used colab externally, but internally in Google it is used as a scratchpad for quick and dirty trying out an idea. By the time you realize the idea may lead up to something, you also hit some specific libraries or resources y

As a Googler using this internally, I'm pretty sure the project itself will live for quite a while longer. I have no clue about the public offering, but I don't think money is what they are after in this.

That's a current Volkswagen T-Roc, odo 5000km, that drove me nuts this week. Then, I'm not saying I can shift quicker than that. Instead, I can shift 20s before stepping on the throttle.

Manual transmission has clear advantage in responsiveness. Being used to manual, I've just driven an automatic for three days. Despite having 50% more power than my old car, it felt terribly slow because of the gear shift delays.

Think of it as writing the software in a very barebones language and then requiring unit test coverage of all possible input combinations, asserting the full output. A lot of work, but gives you reasonable certainty that your code is indeed

That's kind of shocking when compared to European prices. Over a full order of magnitude of difference, comparing to the list price of the first Google result.
