You're omitting what immediately follows: > The purist answer is “no” because partitions can happen and in fact have happened at Google, and during some partitions, Spanner chooses C and forfeits A. It is technically a CP system. &g

To wit: In terms of CAP, Spanner claims to be both consistent and highly available despite operating over a wide area, which many find surprising or even unlikely. The claim thus merits some discussion. Does this mean that Spanner is a CA s

Apache Beam just got out of incubator, too, which means that there's now a low cost abstraction on top of two of those (as well as Google Cloud Dataflow). This stuff just seems to get better.

It seems like you're suggesting that "classical" DBMS are inherently relational. Pardon me if I've misread you but, respectfully, as awesome as relational databases are, you haven't offered any reason why they shoul

You have no idea what I do besides having signed that petition. That's pretty rude. (It's also not true.)

I can't speak to anyone else's experiences here, but your cynicism seems unwarranted based on mine.

http://neveragain.tech/ has a ton of Googlers on there. I'm among them.

As a Googler, I can tell you that no one I know here is under that impression. (Your instincts are absolutely correct.)

To that end, it might be worth spelling out in the title here. I got my hopes up thinking it was about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communicating_sequential_proce... .

Totally fair. :) Parent just mentioned using queues/messaging effectively, and EIP is arguably the gold standard for that.

This isn't exactly what you want, but you might find both of the following books helpful. With respect to using queues/messaging: http://www.enterpriseintegrationpatterns.com/ And with respect to understanding thi

Another +1; tremendously useful even in its extended beta state. :)

Was I the only one who saw the title and thought of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferno_(operating_system) ?

It's possible that their views on the EMH have changed, too, no?

It's way more than playing music by speech. It's looking up stuff, controlling your house, checking restaurant hours, all sorts of functions that would otherwise be fulfilled by a smartphone with less input effort. Give one of the

You should try having this conversation with those trans friends you ostensibly have. I can assure you it's not a spectrum, and yours isn't a position so much as a retrograde claim about who I am. I'm not claiming to represen

If your starting position is "you're not worthy of being referred to in accordance with who you are", then I'm not interested in negotiating with you. I don't quite know what you're implying. If you got rich on

I don't think anything I say will convince you that I merit being accorded with dignity, so I'll leave it at this: you're welcome to apply and come try to convince us otherwise! You know where to find us. I recommend Cracking

I guess for me the question would be "why are you trying to scrutinize my genitalia?" Google is famous for its dress code: "you must wear something." Seems to work out okay for us.

Thanks for giving a shit. :) (I go by "they".) And I promise that for those of us who are a little different, the effort is what matters.

It means that software (the product, not the community) tends to offer a binary choice for gender and a lack of gender-neutral forms of address (I go by Mx.). It means that the conversations around gender in tech tend to reflexively focus o

Speaking as a genderqueer engineer at Google, I'm really glad to work with supportive cis colleagues. I'm sorry that you take such a negative view, but at least for me, as someone who has rarely felt included in tech, it's

Respectfully, I don't know anyone here who works 14 hours a day. Anyone. And two of my teammates are more than twice my age (and I'm 25). Don't get so down on yourself. :) The chances of Google hiring you are zero if you don&

Hey--congrats on a really successful internship! I'm glad you had fun, and maybe we'll see you when you've wrapped up your studies, too. :)

Hey, I know others on here have already chimed in, but I joined Google not that long ago having been rejected twice before. Please don't sell yourself short. Give us a try.

Well, there is Stackdriver Trace for free already on Google Cloud Platform. (Disclosure: I work on GCP, albeit not on that team.)

Albeit doable with Lambda and Cassandra. ;)
