Some of the calls can fan out in parallel, but in my experience it's not good for performance, even with fewer services. The remote call overhead certainly adds up, but another issue is that each service does redundant work. E.g. each

Rails used to cache the list of columns after the first query and then expect all of those columns on subsequent queries. It made it so that if you removed an unused column, all your queries would fail until you restarted your rails process

A recurring theme in this thread is that big tech often gives away free products as loss leaders and this kills any business that relied on selling a comparable product. I can't really think of many instances where big tech out-innovat

Google Cloud/kubernetes vs Docker Inc. Docker had a lot of problems, but it didn't help that they had made bets in orchestration and then the industry largely converged on kubernetes instead of their products.

This can be a difficult social problem. Do you need to ask everyone permission? What can you move? Will you make the situation much worse for someone else? I work at a company trying to solve some of these problems: https://www.g

Onsite to offer is just one part. The process starts earlier and ends later. Even a startup with 2 day onsite to offer can have a 3-4 week process. Recruiter chat, recruiter screen, tech screen, take home, onsite, references, meet and greet

I'm not sure what FANG they were from, but Google doesn't have a behavioral interview so they didn't learn that there. Every non-FANG I've interviewed at has had a behavioral interview.

Google even lower cases emails when they are used for calendars, so you need to assume case insensitivity for that api to make sense.

It's very difficult to manage IOPS for RDS. IOPS scales with RDS disk size to a certain point, so you might not have had nearly enough IOPS at only 200GB. It's possible that you used too small of an instance type since you should

The article seems to confuse RCV (voting by ranking a list of candidates) and IRV (a specific way of choosing the winner from such ballots). I'm not sure to which the law applies. Wikipedia has a disambiguation page for RCV that lists

Yes, but the overwhelming majority of Googlers don't work on gmail. My cynical take is that they have 2 billion users and aren't really interested in making significant changes to existing functionality. When I was at Google, I re

The 1040 changes just about every year although it's usually just updating line numbers and various amounts (e.g. standard deduction). The 1040 schedules often get updates too. IME everything else stays the same (e.g. the 8000s forms),

Obviously it's a joke, but if you get it wrong, they send you the right amount and then you pay it (or they pay you). As long as you are close with your on-time payment, the interest is very reasonable on small differences. It's p

From the DB, no. E.g. you could always have `query("... a = ? and b = "+b, [a])`. From within a language, you somehow need to restrict how you build up the query. E.g. a query builder or ORM usually makes it hard to use anything b
