Just wanted to say, one of the exciting things I realized when I joined Google was that the maintainer of GDB was my org's director at that time. Not sure how much it matters, but it gave me confidence in the leadership to know that someone who knows the details is running the show at the top. It made me trust the leadership chain much more than I normally would otherwise.

Do you support Java? If so, how do you do this for Java?

Not sure why you are getting downvoted - this is literally what two of the people I know do. They actually make more than what I make at a FAANG. The real kicker? One of their jobs is a contractual position and so they opened up a business for it and hiring family members as employees to save on taxes. So the take home pay is actually higher than me.

Doing so however carries a lot of risk and one needs to have a certain mentality to be able to actually do it (I certainly don't have that).

Which car allows you to watch videos from your phone on the Console?

It uses FUSE and there's three types of Kernel cache you could use with FUSE (although, it seems like gcsfuse is exposing only one):

1. Cache of file attributes in the Kernel (this is controlled by "stat-cache-ttl" value - https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gcsfuse/blob/7dc5c7ff...) 2. Cache of directory listings 3. Cache of file contents

It should be possible to use (2) and (3) for a better performance but might need changes to the underlying fuse library they use to expose those options.

I would suggest also looking at https://github.com/bazelbuild/remote-apis. Its essentially a standard API for remote (any binary) execution as a service and there are several reference implementations of it (Buildgrid, BuildBarn, Google's own service etc).

And you can consider using gVisor to minimize container breakouts to a great extent.

While he noticed the telephone wires running alongside the highway, Peters said, he did not realize until later that there were also wires crisscrossing the highway every few hundred feet, and that somehow his small plane must have slipped between them without him even noticing.

“Honestly, I didn’t see them. I think that was divine intervention, moving those wires away from me,” he said.

If you read the article, he explains the reasoning.

20% of world's surface fresh water.

Or they just went with Alphabetical order when signing the letter? Order doesn’t mean much to be honest in this context - you don’t put your name on the letter unless you really agree with what’s on the letter. Now it maybe possible that Marc never co-signed this in which case he will speak out hopefully and explain his stance better.

I guess on the flip side, I was receiving 100$ per month in AWS credits for about 2 years for an Alexa skill I had disabled. This was also incompetence in this case.

Can you point me to the results from the clinical trial?

I wasn't trying to spread FUD. I did state that the arrests weren't because of the drug.

One of my friends is an anaesthetist dealing with Covid patients day in day out in India. She works for a Government hospital and they started trying Remdesivir 3 days ago. She said all three patients that they have given the drug to have died of arrest - she does insist though that its not because of the drug but she was saying that it isn't improving things if the patient is in late stages of Covid.

The senators are probably thinking "What can you do?".

Umm I guess you could ignore the comment then. Part of what I like about HN is the tangential discussion and the personal experience that commenters share.

A lot of Kindle content is reflowable meaning every character is addressible, so they should know which word boundry you clicked on.

Of course this is impossible to do in fixed formats like PDF, but 4 years back I specifically worked in Kindle content to make PDF books reflowable :)

Yeah this - as far as I see it, there's nothing that prevents FB / WhatsApp from "accidentally" shipping the private keys on my phone / machine to their server.

How I wish this article's title was "Facebook Tells Barr it Can't Open up Encrypted Messages".

Can you quantify what you mean by worse? What makes you feel that way?

Even more depressing when I see co-workers, friends and family actually do that and I'm trying to climb the ladder by working hard and paying the last penny of tax I owe.

To summarize:

1. Your build pipeline has a lot of hermetic actions.

2. To speed it up, you execute these actions remotely on isolated environments, cache the results and reuse when possible.

Pretty neat.

You might want to look into https://goo.gl/TB49ED and https://console.cloud.google.com/marketplace/details/google/... if you need a managed service to do just that.

Youtube doesn't create content. They utilize content provided to google for free by creators to drive traffic to their website.

This is a popular sentiment, but its not "for free". There's cost involved in storing, transcoding and service videos to millions/billions of users and in the development of those technologies.

I think humans are pretty good at warming things up. So I would take a mini-ice age over global warming.

If you don't mind me asking, which laser cutter do you have?

+1, I also recently deleted my LinkedIn profile. Taking LinkedIn profile as a sign of authenticity is indeed horrible.

I would love to see a breakdown of which company paid the most :)

Shopify, Uber used to be at the top of the list.

I've discovered that this advice doesn't work for me because I really prefer to see the software being used in a real world scenario than in tests. This is also why I hate writing tests for something I didn't develop.

So instead, I usually try to setup the dev stack and walk through multiple use cases of the product, usually narrowed down to the area I would be working on. I would make sure my stack is so that I can iterate really really fast (I've a few quirks that I tend to use like weird aliases etc etc) and all this while also simultaneously working on small/minor bug fixes. I do this for atleast 3-4 weeks atleast, then I get a feel for the code and where things are. After that, I personally feel confident enough to take on bigger projects on that codebase.

Has worked out well for 3 large codebases at 3 different companies so far.

Someone's salty. Do you work at Google?

Why so? We use a frozen requirements file and so far its been decent. What bothers you and how would you like it to be improved?

To be honest, I would stay away from Zoho.

I know a couple of friends who work there and they frequently mention having access to raw email contents with minimal supervision. That's now how I want my email to be treated by the company hosting my email services.

Curious - why did you move from google to aws? How has it been after the move?
