Great! I suspected it had to be in there, but it was hard to figure that through the docs. I didn't think of 'shadow' as a keyword, only 'mirror'. Thanks. One more reason to adopt Envoy and Istio.

Most of this is public (see the Slicer paper for dynamic sharding) or implemented in some other form by Envoy and other tools (dark launches, traffic visualization) or not that complicated (Kubernetes has manual rollbacks already and automa

That's an external controller, which is what most people are doing themselves these days, reinventing the wheel each time. Borg has long had an automatic rollback feature on updates, tuned through a few settings on top of the health ch

Other tools and features that don't exist outside: - a tee loadbalancer for gRPC, forwarding the same requests to both A and B backend pools, but only returning results from A. I don't think Envoy has this, but it should. - load b

Jeff was between employee 20 and 30, IIRC, so it's hard to imagine him not having made many millions with the stock. On the other hand, he's the guy who kept his Volvo for well over a decade.

Inside Google, they're roughly the same. You used to refer to them together, they sat next to each other, worked on the same projects as you point out, roughly until Jeff started Brain. Outside of Google, Jeff is more popular probably

Missed connections seems to have moved to "Community". [edit: moved as in "CL took it out of personals and relocated it altogether", not that users repurposed an existing forum]

Running a Kubernetes cluster across multiple regions is not a great idea. You can set up a federation of clusters, but GKE doesn't seem to support that yet, so you need to create and manage the federated control plane yourself. And the

What kind of network policies? Millions of years ago, Google used Cariden software to simulate what happened when links went down, QoS changes were applied, etc. From what I recall, at some point, the size of the network, new special hardwa

Hah, interesting. His old site is still up https://sites.google.com/site/ericsachs2/ but at least his LinkedIn page is up to date. Thanks!

Yeah, I asked Eric Sachs (who runs the identity efforts at Google) and others a few times over the years. They always directed me to Okta, Ping, etc.

GCS has multi-AZ replication, but also multi-region (at a premium).

It's actually complicated to know where your mailbox is. Even if you knew its current locations, Gmail rebalances the N replicas across X data centers all the time, based on a number of factors.

Google has been doing this for years, before even making public guarantees. There wasn't a separate policy for China when I left years ago and Gmail is blocked there anyway.

The eyes are more sensitive to either yellow-green or blue-green, depending on whether there is light or little of it. Amber/orange/yellow was probably the second most popular choice for terminals back then.

I don't see any ads for the query mentioned, but I guess that's a possibility for the future.

On the other hand: 1) this kind of query is not a big driver of Adwords revenue 2) the direct answer is cheaper to compute than a search of the web index 3) this result page is much smaller to generate, serve, load and render

The local copies usually stick around a lot longer, I think 2-3 months. Perhaps the original poster ran out of storage, which triggered more aggressive purging?

Exactly what I was thinking. Google, for one, likes to hire a lot of people under just two-three job descriptions. The author doesn't take any of that into account and it's not clear what the original analysts said, either — perha

There was a WordPerfect port, but at least the initial versions were slow and did not feel like they took advantage of the OS. In other words, it was a bit of a rush job.

On the other hand, it's going to be difficult for any other CNCF project to emulate Kubernetes on a lot of dimensions, even after you exclude the toughest one, popularity.

In addition to what others have said about honesty and ownership of mistakes, it shows you how much they're capable of learning from the inevitable mistakes. Even more importantly, if they haven't made any major mistakes yet, the

Reminds me of the CBM BASIC bug where you would get weird behaviour (rather than SYNTAX ERROR) if you entered line numbers that didn't fit in 16 bits, but whose first five digits matched a number in the $8900-$89ff range.

That's not true, Zagat was in Columbus Circle. They moved months after the acquisition. Spotify was subleasing space from someone else in the building, something that the owners, Google themselves, did not know and most likely did not

The crazy thing is that Google invested in wireless technology, acquired companies and filed patents even before the Fiber announcement. Yet, here we are.

Are Tim and Nina Zagat part of the deal? They were still at Google when I left, but they are approaching their 80s now.

XIP was a thing with PCMCIA 2.1 25 years ago, but then it became more and more of a niche solution. I like to blame the ascent of Linux/x86 for that, at least in part.

I heard it from someone at Google at a public event, but there was no date attached to it. I should have asked.

I thought the plan was to have common code for the generic, non-critical parts like graph handling, while operators would be shipped in multiple variants, keyed and loaded at runtime by CPUID. You can even delegate that to glibc if they are
