An advertisement for pivot tables of all things. What an oddly specific concept to fixate on as an example of shifting technical competence.

If they’re willing to fight it, help pay their legal fees. Win in court, set a better precedent. That is how change happens in the world, not by trying to ruin the lives of individuals emblematic of a flawed system but quite likely perfectl

Yeah, of course, I'm not looking for perfect code. Concurrency is hard, and as I mentioned, it's probably the most common problem spot I see in interviews, so if I were a hard-ass about it I'd never hire anyone. My expectatio

Disclaimer that I work server-side. This is not applicable to all of software engineering by any means, but if you want a more technical answer than those the article provides: concurrency. It's 2020: computers have multiple cores, and

For anyone like me wondering what these brits are on about, here’s a decoding: “Scooby” => “Scooby Doo” => “Clue”, making “I haven’t got a clue, mate” “Ruby” => “Ruby Murray” => “curry”, making “let’s go for a curry after this

Then they really need to pick a new name, because OTP is widely understood in programming to be a “One-Time Pad”, and without defining what they think it means in this context this is the least coherent article I’ve read in a while.

Well prepare to be unsurprised! The CI/CD abstraction already exists in Tekton - https://cloud.google.com/tekton The rest are soon to follow I’m sure.

Yup, we intend to support them, or at least the v2 catalog API. Given the current state and forward progression of most tooling, as well as the compatibility of docker v2 with OCI v1, there didn’t seem to be much value in implementing the l

There shouldn't be any signing up needed, as it's an open beta. You should already see `Container` listed as a package type in the UI, and can begin publishing packages by creating a personal access token with `read:packages` and

The new container registry should be OCI compliant, and so should work with any OCI compatible tooling, including docker, containerd, ORAS, and hopefully more tools yet to be come. If you hit any compatibility issues, especially any with re

During the beta there will be no charges for GHCR usage. After we go GA, we'll be charging for storage and data transfer on private images only, the same the current registry offerings. If your popular image is public, you'll incu

Hey there! Engineer on the GitHub Container Registry here. Our only namespacing enforcement is that packages must be published under a user or organization namespace for which you have write permissions. For example, I'd be able to pub

I left Palantir in 2014, so this may be a bit out of date, but back then, a lot of the sales of the product were done by engineers, which was effective but expensive. The general approach would be “give us 2-4 weeks to integrate your data a

Given that modern systems include containerization and dozens or hundreds of instances of applications bouncing continually as changes are made or network conditions change, deployment has gotten a lot more “chatty” than tossing a binary on

Apple intentionally prices a lot of customers out of their market. Their monetary strategy relies on it, oddly enough. If they sold to more people, they’d run into many more issues being seen as a monopoly. Tim Cook spelled it out pretty cl

It’s just a search engine... and don’t get me wrong, it’s a really robust and expressive search engine, but all it’s doing is data analysis. As scary as that is (and it is absolutely scary), it’s not anything that someone couldn’t do with t

So just working with entities you don’t like, then? If you think your best hope for addressing government behavior you disagree with is to try to take their tools away, you may as well stay silent completely because it isn’t going to do any

Not Neo4J, so much as a relational database with user-defined schema. They actually build the relational semantics on top of cassandra so that it scales like a beast. And they open sourced it - https://github.com/palantir&#x

Ex-Palantir engineer here. What exactly do you think makes the company despicable, apart from them working with some entities you don’t like? They don’t even source or store data themselves... they just provide a glorified federated search

I feel ya. Software is a world that’s constantly evolving. Apache is great at software engineering, but sorely lacking in product design. Because open source software is almost definitionally not a product, but a tool. With that comes incre

If in 2020 you still choose Kafka as your messaging infrastructure, you are well behind the times. I get it, I really do. Your manager has heard of Kafka, as has your PM and CTO. Nobody has ever fired for buying Kafka. It’s the new IBM. “Bu

The problem is that the claim that nothing is as cheap as proof of work as made in that article is only applicable if you think cryptocurrencies have value in a way that is comparable to tangible goods in reality, like the electricity they

I’m still waiting for Jepsen to put Confluent’s “Kafka provides exactly once delivery semantics” claim to the test. Since they’re claiming something provably false, it’d be nice to have some empirical evidence as such.

How long are we going to “ban” certain abbreviations for? Two generations? Three? It seems absurd that a two letter combination not used for nearly a century is enough to disqualify a name on an entire continent. We won. It’s over. We can r
