im not trying to be “silly”. i’ve seen this happen first hand. you can argue that that wasn’t the original idea but i’ve seen enough “k8s solved all our problems!” type conference talks and blog posts to see how people can be fooled.

this is not true. the promise of k8s led many companies to believe that individual dev teams can now manage their own infra and it’s been a giant mess. almost no one had the expertise or patience to properly manage their clusters. my compan

It’s a legit strategy. I’ve heard it called a “honeypot”

There are options strategies that will pay off if the stock price _doesn’t_ rise enough.

Yeah this sounds like trying to dramatize what is normal business operations. There's going to be politics at any company larger than a sole-proprietorship. The fact they stayed for 6 years is honestly a remarkable retention assuming t

It definitely sounds like they shouldn't have used datastore in the first place if it's giving them that much trouble. A common pattern we use is to replicate the data in bigquery, either by stream or batch job that flows over pub

It’s really not. Tech stocks are bought and sold on hype and often move +/- 5% on any normal day. 10% the day after an IPO is nothing.

Could use a [2013] tag, but this story is fascinating and horrifying and I re-read it every time it pops up. It's a textbook case of why a solid CI/CD pipeline is vital.

Is it just me or is every big release from Uber just a custom rewrite of an existing technology? It seems their engineering department has a large not-invented-here attitude. I could be wrong - they're certainly large enough to have cu

100%. A garbage truck and a tiny pothole are magnitudes louder than any consumer vehicle. Repaving the roads would have a much larger effect on noise than replacing every ICE vehicle with a tesla.

I've also had good experiences with WP and have referred several friends to them when they mentioned needing new glasses.

...what? They've always given out the Kit Of Parts and I don't recall those teams that relied on them ever winning anything substantial.

That's mostly capital gains. He won't earn that in steady dividends to live off of.

I've seen the same attitude a lot of times. "I was an investment banker for 10 years but then I moved to Colorado and became a ski bum and I couldn't be happier!" Like alright man live your life but stop acting like you

Ethics aside, this actually sounds kind of fun to me. It's the kind of clever puzzle solving many of us love about programming - it's basically a cat and mouse game.

Firestore is literally built on top of spanner. So yeah, that's the answer. It's definitely pricey at first glance but it's a fixed cost based on nodes, compared to say datastore where you pay for storage+reads+writes. Differ

You and a lot of other commenters are getting hung up on the BFS example. It's just that - an example. There are dozens of algorithms that are "common" enough to be asked about and diminishing returns to having them all memor

Given what we've seen with AppEngine they've been moving away from custom language toolchains and to a more containerized deployment approach.

Long comments tend to scare me because they often detail some horrific hack that I'm going to have to deal with.

The problem is the extremely small niche it fills. The market is people who have enough time and patience to cook their own meals, but not enough to grocery shop and look up a recipe. If you're new to cooking that's one thing, but

The hidden test cases can be super frustrating, especially when you're passing 7/10 and the timer keeps ticking down. It's impossible to debug besides just staring at the code and guessing what else they might be looking for.

Real estate as a whole needs newer and much stronger restrictions. It's an inarguable fact that it's a "housing market" and speculative investment tends to be bad for everyone.
