Collections of amusing anecdotes is exactly what they are. Feynman didn’t write the Surely You’re Joking series. They’re stories he told that Ralph Leighton wrote down and collected into books.

In my experience, 40gb and 100gb are still mostly used for interconnects (switch/switch links, peering connections, etc.). Mostly due to the cost of NICs and optics. 25gb or Nx10gb seems to be the sweet spot for server/ToR upli

Well, it depends on what your use case for "10g" is. If all you care about is fast file transfers between your PC and your NAS, you can get a small 5-8 port 10gb switch for under $300 that will easily handle line-rate traffic (at

my $700 Mac Mini has a 10gb NIC. 2.5gb and 5gb NICs are very common on modern PC motherboards. Modern servers from Dell and HP are shipping with 25gb or even 100gb NICs.

Meta requires you to link a personal account to your work identity. Similar to Apple, they don't check to see if it was created just for the purpose.

Google used to compile development builds with clang by default (better tooling and error messages) but production builds with GCC (better optimization). I don't know if they still do that.

A case could be made... From wikipedia: He was the original angel investor, first chairman, and second CEO for Apple Computer, Inc., providing critical early funding and managerial support. At the company's founding, Markkula owned 26

Commenters like you are why people don't share thing. Why make something available for free when someone like you is just going to come along and shit on it?

On the other hand, OP probably knows the difference between "your" and "you're", so there's that...

People who aren't me get paid to do that kind of math when designing datacenters. Presumably there's a break-even point.

A non-water fire suppression system for a 300,000+ square feet warehouse-scale datacenter would be incredibly expensive.

Halon has been banned for years because 1) it's bad for the ozone layer and 2) it'll kill you. Newer systems (FM-200, Inergen, etc.) fight the fire by removing heat instead of removing oxygen.

Other way around. Google Cloud runs on the same underlying datacenter, compute, and network infrastructure that Search/Drive/Gmail does. [edit: at least in regions where Google HAS its own datacenters, e.g. "us-central-1? ye

Or even in the same building, just with a different power/network domain.

It's evil if you phrase it (as OP did) as "getting people addicted to YouTube". Less so if you phrase it "show people recommendations that they're likely to actually click on, based on what they've watched prev
