jeffbee, actually, you do and it works well, you don't have to do more than use a library. You get it out of the box in GCP. It works with Opentelemetry / OpenCensus Dapper was not embedded in Stubby either.

One of my past career pet peeves was not being able to work in the same team with some people I was really excited to work daily with. I almost joined the research group, passed interviews, got accepted, but eventually everything got stalle

This is also what sets good code comments and code level API documentation apart - explaining the reasoning and intention for both implementation and for intended use. Essentially the why and how, not that what...

0mq is great; however, the 0mq Guide is the golden standard for technical documentation and one of the best tech writings there are.

Thank you! I guess in absence of that, the lens is the codomain so to speak so must retain the info. Will read when I get a chance :)

Without being too knowledgeable on the topic, but with a little math background - you'd need a bijective function to that. On a quick search for bijective lenses https://arxiv.org/abs/1710.03248

Security by obscurity naturally transform security into a probability. When you use given hard opaque rules (e.g. TLS + X Y Z) you stop thinking in depth. Instead when you think about layers of obscurity, you go much deeper affecting the p

You need something like HBase, but embedded. MVCC would give you the snapshot isolation (perhaps there's something with less guarantees?) and you'd need key lexicographic ordering to do efficient scanning. You'd only need the

I think the current fundamental structures are influenced by the Bourbaki group, however it has gaps. Category Theory is likely able to fill those gaps and I guess it will end up as the foundational layer of both mathematics, computer scien

Wow, what a combo! I'd be interested in anything from each of the lecturers, but all 3 at the same course, is amazing. Category Theory could be the rosetta stone of many things(this is relevant https://arxiv.org/pdf&#x2

We're periodically retrying things.. (had 3 attempts with NuGet). So does this include a redo of / incorporates the package registry? It would make sense to treat them uniformly.

I think this is a long term investment that goes beyond engineer / language /etc. preferences. It's a matter of abstraction 'stability'. There's a cost for each abstraction, so modeling without fully understand

Hope this works, but our experience with the GitHub registry was awful so far. We've spent >10h trying to get GitHub Nuget registry to work without success. We're still using Gemfury. You'd expect that GitHub, Microsoft an

I was preparing to say "Tell that to GCP!" :) In their defense it's one of the services that you fire and forget. It seems to just work.

Having performed hundreds of tech interviews, I realized that my developed super-skill was to keep the candidates relaxed regardless of how well or bad they did. That meant carefully controlling my emotions when their answers were bad, and

Great point! I'd generalize this and say you have to do this with any minority group that is "below" some desired level (within a country, community, etc.). And concretely, you need to invest in access to money and high quali

This is so true, but so shallow too. I think the big mistake is to treat the code as "the main thing" when in reality it's just a model (a golem) mimicking some "other thing" We're missing an entire set of code

But there's Same Day ACH, right? Also the new RTP Network ( https://www.theclearinghouse.org/payment-systems/rtp ) seems to get traction.

Yes. But considering Stripe and others charge 2.8% of transaction, it's the more relevant metric. I think the largest chunk of the volume difference is commercial-use. I don't have the numbers handy but the difference is huge.

High availability, deployment consistency and, if needed, ability to scale-out on demand to name a few. You can can have an all-inclusive environment for sandboxing, development or production use-cases. Easy to spin-up and tear down. A good

They both require persistence semantics. I forgot to mention, I was referring to a single node, no-HDFS setup for HBase, solely relying on Kubernetes StatefulSets for data availability, in the simplified persistene sense, not much different

The main advantage with Kubernetes (especially in low ops environments like GKE) is not scalability, but availability and ease of development (spinning things up and down is super-easy). The learning curve to stand something up is not very
