I went through an interview loop for their platform engineering team. The technical depth that the interview went was not very deep. They were asking me questions about how I would replace a CPU in a server. Physical server. The whole inter

Wow. Scylla does Cassandra, DynamoDB, and Redis. Wonder what will be next.

My guess is that they're looking to adopt semi-custom hardware for their internal cloud. Do what Google/Amazon/Microsoft have been doing with their own clouds- offloading virtualization and processing functions to FGPA/A

I want a linux phone. But you know what I want first? I want a Visual Studio level IDE that I can develop Linux GUI application in. GTK is an amazing piece of software, and there are some beyond amazing GTK based applications that I found a

My co-worker/friend did the exact same thing. I had to double check you were not her. It feels like the Pandemic has left a lot of people worse off, but there are also a lot who are a lot better off now. Kinda weird?

Stuff like this is so cool, and also highlights the importance of archiving the internet. I've never used Lotus 1-2-3, but this makes me want to try and get it running to try out older software that is brutally efficient.

The one thing I see in my current company, and a growing trend with SaaS apps is that companies are forgetting how to actually engineer. Like Boeing- the more you outsource the less able you're able to react to changing market forces a

There is so much in that article that makes me shudder. Running Kubernetes on a self driving car/truck? SSH-ing into a self driving truck? Both of those statements cause me to shudder at the thought.

wow. We've run into rsync bugs like this and just chalked it up to "things happen"

This seems like an issue that could have been resolved a lot quicker if they were doing network monitoring on the host size and the switch side. Ideally you would be able to spot a large amount of link errors on a port/switch/host

That's still a very common pattern if you need maximum performance, and can tolerate small periods of downtime. When designing systems, you have to accept some drawbacks. You can forgo a clustered database if you have a strong on call

I have to wonder- why are there photoshopped stock pictures featuring the IDE?

Problem is that it's Google. They might announce tomorrow that they're shutting the service down and that's that.

This. If I had a cloud hosted CI tool, I would gladly allow open source projects to use it. But they would be lowest priority and there would be limitations on how often builds could happen and/or volume of contributions. Large corpora

Half of the reason to go into the office is knowing how to interact with your co-workers and gauge at what level of formality you need to interact with each other, as well as just getting to know each other. Human interaction is as much non
