   This is what I encourage my staff to do. We have a company-wide bagel breakfast in the morning, and then no more meetings. We also skip our daily “async slack stand-up” on Fridays. My expectation for the day is that you prioritize personal

   I’m not sure what you mean by “his output is so little”. Just because he hasn’t become the overly verbose waster of words that so many others have (ahem...) doesn’t mean he doesn’t have a solid body of work. I count 15 books on my shelf tha

   Removing the “firewall” between Google and Google Health will prove to have been a big mistake. They should have stayed separate under Alphabet.

   Would you rather sit on a board that has to oversee an actual operation, or one that merely monitors an investment and spends lavishly on board meetings?

   Yeah, I was running Firefox via crostini for a while and it worked really well.

   Give a Pixel Book a try. It has plenty of differences from Mac OS, but most of them are positive. If Google could get Adobe on-board with Linux support, and built a consumer foot-print a la Apple, I'd probably go there. Dealing with th

   (Google Customer, not Employee) We have two slack channels here. One is where our internal monitoring agents post, as well as an RSS subscription to the GCP status board. We have a separate channel for less critical things (like GitHub). Un

   This is definitely one of those things I wish GitHub would “backport” from GitLab.

   You’re right, I was off by one. However, they both contain the same disclaimer, which is also repeated on the wireguard website. It’s not production software, according to its own author, despite being quite stable and based on solid theore

    The latest release announcement, from Jason Donenfeld, on the wireguard mailing list contains the following: > Hello, > A new snapshot, `0.0.20190905`, has been tagged in the git repository. > Please note that this snapshot is, lik

    The problem is, in a lot of enterprise environments, you can’t rely on a tool that lists itself as non-production ready, and therefore doesn’t / won’t have CVE, etc. Scroll to the bottom of the wireguard.com site. It’s right on the tin

    Good luck. It's not shipping until "Holiday 2020"... if ever. Announcing products like this should be reported on as an embarrassment for the companies that do it.

    I would offer that a lot of proposals like Project Vesta sound great, but are massive-scale geo-engineering projects that could, themselves, have unintended consequences.

    Agreed. You still have to forecast costs, audit use, manage access, deal with availability issues, etc. A good serverless platform lets you focus on those issues instead of OS patches and hardware upgrades.

    Three years of BigQuery... zero discussion about nodes, memory, disk arrays, vacuuming... None of it. We still worry about costs, forecasting, latency, monitoring, availability, access controls, auditing, and resource utilization. So, I don

    BigQuery is pretty stateful and, I would argue, one of the better "serverless" offerings out there.

    Is it less law to require a specific law for every single illogical differentiation, or to have a general principle that can be applied in a logical and consistent fashion?

    The difference is that Apple doesn't have its own search engine getting a free slot. If Google handed administration of the auction over to an independent third party, who would accept all of the paid-in fees from the winners, thus bea

    I love that Joe Armstrong's PhD thesis is on this list. I have it on my reading list for junior engineers. It's incredibly accessible and the mental model is very powerful.

    I’ve wondered the same thing about Mozilla. I feel like should be building more value added web services that go beyond just little add-one to the browser itself. First, they would help sustain the org. Second, they would help encourage use

    It's not really a computer science issue, per-se. Operationally, though, here are a few thoughts: - Ensure that the persons doing this review do not have physical access to the systems outside of a secured environment (one in which out

    What is doubly concerning here is that the contractor was in a position to demonstrate how the system worked to the reporters. That would seem to indicate they have access to that data in a non-secured environment. I'm not familiar wit

    We work with a lot of hospitals and find that video conferencing tools are often blocked by their IT departments for security reasons. I’m expecting Zoom to find itself on that list in short order.
