To me it looks like a SharePoint for engineering teams. With plugins focused around projects/deployments/metrics. Which sounds actually interesting.

Chrome supported this for a long time and it really helped small developers outside of Google be able to build chrome without specialist machines. But that feature was pulled by the chrome team with the stated justification being that since

I had noticed that Google's ML teams are doing a ton of Python, and at the same time the overall support for Python in prod was pretty low. This has lead to some interesting situations over the last year. Especially as "move fast

I do think this was well written and informative. I have a request (I know I know another entitled non customer). Why not tell me how fast they are supposed to be? I hear "they are so fast it sounds like a brag but no really they are s

I live somewhere with similar weather and I don't feel like the weather is getting me down... Until there's a sunny day and I'm 10x more productive and happy.

I think it's 50/50 whether or not I believe the reasoning. One one hand: killing a product for not being multi billion user multi billion dollar overnight success is incredibly on brand. On the other hand: I 100% believe that they

I use it. But honestly the reason why is because in 2005 or so I got a web job and my manager sat me down at a Solaris sunray running thr Java desktop environment (gnome) and told me to click on XEmacs to edit code. Now I stay because lsp m

Port knocking involves sending a packet to certain ports on a host. It's overkill but typing http://host:port/ in your browser will, as part of trying to make a TCP connection, send a packet to that port.

I wasn't around Google when the book was written but after having read it and then managing a SRE team at Google my takeaway was: the book was not a documentary on how SRE works day to day. It was a loose collection of aspirational ess

The problem of "how many CPUs should I use?" is really only answerable empirically in the general case. The problem of "how many CPUs are available?" is a little more tractable. Currently when running podman, the cpus al

They do. But I'd say most employees go their whole career without needing to do anything that requires a VPN. It's basically all web based access through what is, at the end of the day, a http proxy. SREs need to be ready for stuf

Well technically they do, but honestly the number of companies that need to worry about redundant DNS is probably .001%. It does matter for the some people, but as someone from SRE once said "100% availability is the wrong target for b

I discovered this independently. After years of trying and failing to organize my notes by project/folder I finally was inspired by my scientist wife's labbook entries and decided that to try an append only log (which happens to b

I used this over a decade ago when writing some tests involving postgres stored procedures, it's nice to be able to output a standardized format and have other tools be able to read it. Especially since at the time most of our company

It would be a fun test to run. But I'm not encouraged by the fact that the existing brotli dictionary already contains a bunch of javascript specific stuff: https://gist.github.com/klauspost/2900d5ba6f9b65d69c8e b

Great article. I had the misfortune of writing a bunch of twisted code over a decade ago and I wanted to remind the author that twisted has a feature called "inline callbacks" that allow you to use yield. https://twiste

The author said something that is technically correct but I feel gives the wrong impression to us folks who may be trying to solve the "kill all child processes" problem. There is a simple bash one-liner to ensure child processes

QUIC could be a candidate, RPC over UDP/IP is definitely the direction proposed by Ousterhout. He has a few specific TCP things he's listed as being undesirable and frankly I'm not sure how QUIC stacks up on. - Bandwidth shar

This seems like a review of John Ousterhout's work w/ Homa. I highly recommend reading the original. https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.00714 For those who don't know Ousterhout created the first log structured

In my experience Kafka is alot of work. If you need the guarantees it provides or the ecosystem it unlocks then by all means, use it. If you can relax your constraints, then something like NSQ can be a great option that I heartily recommend

I need to read more about the "dictionary" approach. I am not stoked if using generics carries the performance penalty of virtual calls, but it sounds like it's sort of a hybrid approach where Vec<T> won't be &quot

I get your point but I think Snake Oil might be too harsh. More like flu vaccine. Proven effective against an attack that was going around and similar attacks but not really guaranteed to prevent all strains of flu. So no guarantees on whet

There's lots of ways to lie with surveys, I wonder what the exact wording was and what the responses would be to variants such as: 1. Do you want to be CEO of your own company or a peon employee? 2. Do you want uber to set your hours?

So I used to work with someone from Amazon retail. He told me, in no uncertain terms, that Amazon mined their seller data to undercut them. We sold on Amazon and he constantly told us that we were fools to do so. He even mentioned that prio
