Do people really learn _only_ from SO? I mean sure, it can solve problem at hand but learning a new language or technology? I don't see how it could compete with books in any way

Thanks for your post. This is really cool. If you don't mind me asking: 1/ How many colleagues form a shift? 2/ How do you hand-over in case of a fire that spans across shift rotations? 3/ What happens if you need more h

So this thing is located 1 gigaparsec away from us. The article also mentions that this thing is "probably less than 100 years old". Which then means that this all happend 3 billion (+/- 100) years ago but we are only observi

I doubt they do anything about TZ in Spanner since GPS time is not UTC (no leap seconds). In fact, UTC isn't even mentioned once in the paper. What is mentioned however is the TrueTime API that models `Clock.now()` as intervals rather

Sendai, Miyagi it is. Trains come in from a bit more country side. I'd like to think of Tokyo As the exception to Japan. Having said that, all the pointing and calling is happenening everywhere.

I hope you don't mind me asking: Is there a specific reason behind you wanting to learn Scala "properly"?

This. Also, I think that the build system itself is just the tip of the iceberg. At least in Google's case it has recently been very nicely documented [1] that blaze is "just" one piece of how google keeps velocity high [1]

To change the frame of reference a bit, how would this story work out at Google? I just have an outsider perspective on this, but I really think that monorepos & automation that comes with it will have an amplifying effect in the years

For me - from the outside - the build-system and the trunk-based development is the single most important factor for an organization that scales. Yet I wonder why it is so hard to convince my co-workers .. any anecdotes about how it was st
