Google probably spends more on C++ than dart and go combined.

Almost, it should how much improvement the AI needs to avoid collisions a human driver did avoid. The AI might avoid collisions that the human didn't. In other words, you need 0 simulated collisions to be strictly better than a human d

If they did this I think it would a massive PR issue. People would probably start destroying Waymo cars if this happened. I sure wouldn't be happy if self-driving cars became mass surveillance tools.

Please explain how it is more complicated. Also, QUIC is not just about the performance improvements offered today. Existing protocols like TCP and TLS are not really simpler than QUIC, you just don't think about them because we have i

Bandwidth is useful because it most directly corresponds to deployed physical hardware. If other providers have made that capital investment, taking customers away from Cloudflare is a matter of gradually rolling out features to meet their

I don't see Cloudflare ever capturing even >50% of the market by bandwidth. Companies who have big enough demands (Netflix, Amazon, YouTube) are simply better off managing their own CDNs and I think that customer needs are varied en

Most companies wait until a node matures / a second gen version is offered. Defect rate for example can be high which makes it too expensive to use for larger processors.

They are building an OpenGL-to-DX12 stack using mesa, the open source OpenGL implementation. As Microsoft finds bugs or compatibility issues with GL apps (since many rely on behavior specific to the Nvidia driver), I'm sure they'l

I think the question is what is the local impact of the temperature increase? It would be good to know if it harms certain types of ecosystems ahead of time rather than after the fact. It's also possible that a direct increase in oce

Agree 100%. The problem I have is that I want to know that donations are being used responsibly, but this is hard to gauge. Different types of organizations require different levels of organizational overhead, and this changes depending on

Google has a brand, just like other companies e.g. BMW and Costco. We associate these with things like "reliable", and "cheap", and "luxury". I think "high feature churn" will become a part of Google&

Never heard the name "status quo bias" before, thanks for bringing that up. I don't really care about this particular feature, but I do care about the trend. Why should a feature be sunset? It seems like this must be because

Google just wants to eliminate any remaining trust users have in them, don't they? Every feature they remove, they do because it is a burden on feature velocity or maintenance. Fine, but why are they so bad at weighing it against long

This isn't a language change, it's a library + tooling one.

As the LibreSSL devs have said, heartbleed was not the cause of the fork. They forked the project because they believed the OpenSSL project repeatedly made bad decisions. From https://www.openbsd.org/papers/eurobsdcon20

No, because potential sales are not sales. You never had the XY dollars to begin with. This is what separates IP theft from physical property theft.

That's because the core Paxos protocol is relatively simple. However, no production service could ever survive with just that. Once you start considering all the features and optimizations you will really need, things get very hairy.

Not a strict requirement, but hashing pointer values. In Go, a pointer's integer value may not be stable since the GC may move the underlying data. This doesn't happen with today's runtime, but it may in the future. Why does

One thing that hasn't been mentioned yet is queuing delay. All networks contain queues to smooth over bursts of packets being sent at once, and the time a packet spends occupying a queue can be significant.

A mixed-language codebase will always be more complex than a single language one. So it's not just a matter of Rust integrating well-enough with the rest of the kernel, but it has to offer enough improvement for the cost to be worthwhi
