> If they ever do deprecate something people have built on though they're gonna get absolutely crucified.

They do this all the time, and they get crucified every time. I built a Google Hangout App and a Chrome App, both of which were platforms eventually shut down.

This is where the meme came from, and it's why I personally stopped building on top of Google products. A 1-year deprecation policy is no assurance to me if I plan for my app to live longer than that.

I was so mad to read that until you said /sarcasm :p

That being said I really do think there is a difference between who is working at google today and the google we all fell in love with pre-2008.

I am sure there are a amazing people still working at google, but nowhere near like it was.

The way I like to think about google is that some amazing people mad ea awesome train that builds tracks in front of it -- you can call them gods maybe -- but those people are gone -- or a least the critical mass required to build such a train has dwindled to just dust. What we have left is a awesome train full of people pulling the many levers left behind.

To make things even worse my last interview as a SRE left me wondering if even the people who are there know this as well, and they are actually working hard to keep out those who might expose light on to this. I don't say that because I did not get the job -- I am actually happy I did not get extended a offer.

I say this with one exception, the old-timer who was my last interview. I could tell he was dripping in knowledge and eager to share it with any that would listen. I came out of his 45 min session learning many things -- I wold actually pay to work with a guy like that.

I would also like to point out that the work ethic was not what I expected. I was told that when on call, my duty was to figure out the root cause was in the segment I was responsible for. I don't know about you, but if my phone rings at night I am going to see through to a resolution and understand the problem in full -- even if it is not on the segment that I was assigned.

The only shitposting that I funded was that single billboard, and calling it shitposting is already a stretch. The narratives about me funding troll groups making memes are totally false.

Yes, gopher was pretty amazing and if it had won, given its well organized nature, there would have been much less need for a google to add some order to the tangled mesh of the web than the tree of the gopher-verse.
True, thanks. There's AV1, VP9 and related codecs too, but I've not seen many sources that only provide those and not one of the MPEG codecs as well. I've moved towards HEVC for anything I want to hang on to long-term, now that all my devices can handle it.
I totally heard that when trying to get engineer attention to YouTube Premium’s frequent “download errors” due to their transcoding-on-the-fly (or something). I was telling a support rep I had evidence that if I switched the setting from standard to high def (or vice versa) that the error would go away, but I could reproduce it with the same video, and thought it was a CDN/transcode issue. They kept marking the ticket as “unable to reproduce” and I had to wonder — as a paying customer, don’t they have analytics on my phone that would show exactly the request I was making which was failing in their logs? And if they saw it succeed, why not tell me the problem was my ISP? I’d have been happy to follow up... but nothing’s ever wrong in Google-land. :/
I totally understand the hobbiest aspect here, but... I just paid $15 for 3x 4-layer boards that will be delivered to me in a week. IDK, cool, but I’d spend more than $15 making 2-layer with way worse tolerances.
One worthwhile vantage point from which to understand the foul and self-serving element of the 1960s in California is Joan Didion’s essay collection The White Album, published 1979. And in particular the title essay, which deals partly with the Manson cult.

It is a fascinating book, and she is such a singular writer, with a different and unique viewpoint of the 60s (being older than the hippies and not temperamentally suited to an optimistic worldview anyway), that it is completely worth your time.

Another reference point, come to think of it, is T.C. Boyle’s novel Drop City, which also features an idealistic commune that starts out in California and relocates (kids and all) to a remote place once the Man catches up to them. It also does not end well.

(Edited to add: not knocking the 60s as a whole, or optimism, or hippies, each of which has/have their place in my heart.)
Indeed. I listened to some of the tape recordings of him and has what I call a hypnotic voice. He is spewing crazy gibberish but I can see how it sounds appealing and pleasant at the same time.
I know what you can do with the data. My question was more specific than that: What use does Cloudflare have for the data? Cloudflare, the company that already has a hugely profitable business, excellent privacy-friendly track record, etc.

I'm always amused when there's suggestions that a company like Cloudflare could in any way benefit from that. To recap, the company that has access to your DNS queries would embed a Microphone spy in their Android app, for a short period of time, risking their massively profitable enterprise business, just so they could shadily resell the few days worth of data they may have gotten for that.

There's so many good conspiracy theories to think about. Why would you choose this one?
I recommend avoiding staying close to windows. I think that such an attack is very unlikely to happen in a crowded area. Not sure if earmuffs can help.

The article only reported cases of diplomatic personnel being affected, but I found some other sources stating that tourists were also affected, but those sources are not as reliable as this one.

Anyway, with the number of tourists traveling there, it is very unlikely that you might get affected.
I haven't tried to pledge any software, but I did try to capsicum a proxy daemon, which I wasn't able to do, because there isn't a reasonable way to limit everything, except for networking. I would have had to move socket creation into a different (unsandboxed) process and then pass the sockets around to the proxy worker processes. This is doable, but a lot of work and could impact performance, so I ended up not doing it; the process was already running as a statically linked binary non-root in a jail with no other executables, but it would have been nice to remove more things.
What happens for you at the 30 minute mark? Do your thoughts start wandering? Does your ability to critically reason drop? Do you get feelings of boredom?

In my experience, focus can definitely be trained like a muscle. These days I easily get absorbed in a technical problem for 10+ hours, losing track of time, tiredness, and hunger.

My process is pretty much quinticentially stoic, in the philosophical sense. The idea is to just roll with the punches. For me Deep Focus isn's so much a lack of distraction, boredom, etc. instead it's simply recognizing when I'm off track and geeting back on.

If you're a bit relentless in this process, before you know it the distractions seem to wane off or, at least, one gets better at simply ignoring such thoughts and feelings.

Anyway, there is surely hope in your case!

Full disclosure, I'm formally trained in zen meditation---briefly lived in a temple for a couple yeas---so my method is heavily influenced by that, too.

In general, you might get some mileage out of a meditation practice. Probably easiest to find some local group of practitioners doing things you resonate with.

Anyway, 2cents from a fellow interneter.

OK. Perhaps I misunderstood. In the status page, it says:

Affected customers can use gcloud command [1] in order to create new Node Pools. [1] https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/container/node...

That led me to believe that only the web UI was affected.
In a case like this, would the public domain license be revocable if the copyrightable painting were transferred?
This doesn't always work, because many websites use ways other than the User Agent to customize their websites (e.g. @media queries).
Agreed. FAANG has the government over a barrel.
I just tried setting it up in the latest create-react-app. The example needed some modification but did work eventually. I wouldn't recommend it.

Cloud providers have all of the potential in the world to make each region truly isolated. I shouldn't have to architect my application to be multi-cloud, at least for stability reasons.

Yet, somehow every major cloud provider experiences global outages.

That old AWS S3 outage in us-east-1 was an interesting one; when it went down, many services which rely on S3 also went down, in other regions beside us-east-1 because they were using us-east-1 buckets. I have a feeling this is more common than you'd think; globally-redundant services which rely on some single point of geographical failure for some small part.
Right now we don't know. It's one of two possibilities from what I can tell:

a) Google had a global service disruption that impacted Kubernetes node pool creation and possible other services since Friday. They had a largely separate issue for a web UI disruption (what this thread links to) which they forgot to close on Friday. They still have not provided any issue tracker for the service distribution and it's possibly they only learned about it from this hacker news thread.

b) People are having various unrelated issues with services that they're mis-attributing to a global service disruption.
There are plenty of alternatives? In what market are there no alternatives to thin phones?
This is why GCP has no hope of ever taking significant market share from AWS. Google thinks they can treat their cloud customers like they treat users of their free services. Customer support and communication are essential.
I upgrade my OS all the time.
Yea, hit or miss with wired. On the topic, this is one of those things that looks good to a non-farmer, but tractors are big and heavy for reasons.

Great idea, but having no volume control is awful.

Quillette doesn't strike me as containing anything "unsayable", just very, very old things. After reading one Quillette article I found myself coming back because it was so striking how the articles appear to have been lifted, almost verbatim, from Victorian publications on eugenics that we studied in grad school. Same obsession with natural selection, same topics, and same pseudoscience. Most of us here have scientific/mathematical education and see in an instant how implausible and comical Quillette's pseudo-scientific aspirations are, but I assume that many of their readerships have as much of an understanding of science as the laymen of the Victorian era, and find it all very enticing. We may enjoy reading it like we enjoy reading the publications of the flat Earth people, but I guess that to some these things may ring true. Quillette's editorial staff must know history as well as they know science, or they would have made use of an endless supply of uncopyrighted material from Victorian publications.
With classical gates it is possible to make a complete characterization by enumerating the inputs and corresponding outputs (e.g. in table format). Would that be easy/possible here? How big would the table be?
I get really tired when I use it. Like the five minutes is not enough and I burn out. I get better just losing myself but I would like to be able to be better at it.
You're right in terms of breadth officially covered. But if you look at the features where they both officially have support, there are many examples where the GCP version is more reliable and usable than the AWS version. Even GKE is an example of this, despite the outage in node pool creation that we're discussing here. Way better than EKS.

(Disclosure: I worked for Google, including GCP, for a few years ending in 2015. I don't work or speak for them now and have no inside info on this outage.)
> Someone elsewhere likened it to Galileo. Quillette is more like the Church. It says "the Earth is flat!" How many times do you walk someone through the math of proving the Earth is roundish before you realize it's futile? Unchecked confirmation bias always wins. The best treatment is to starve it of air.

I don't think this is a healthy view for the long term success of a culture built around social justice (the combination of how-often-do-I-have-to-repeat-this with it's-not-my-job-to-educate-you). It's been less than two decades since swinging popular opinion over onto the side of broader rights and already the people who should be the stanchest advocates seem tired of trying to persuade people.

This is a fundamental part of human culture, you have to keep explaining the so-called basics again and again, rather than being exasperated whenever people want it explained for the umpteenth time. Learn from religions, and see how even when Christianity was the absolute dominant Western culture, that they were happy to explain it again and again to anyone that wanted to listen. That is what you need to do if you want to keep your gains and keep everyone on the same page.

If you do SCTP in user space with UDP encapsulation, most of its benefits disappear (and you have to do that - also because of Windows).

It's standard only on paper. There is only one significant user space implementation (usrsctp). It's used both by Chrome and Firefox. I don't think it has much use outside of that. And, I don't think other browsers implement data channels (which require SCTP).

Browser implementations will probably never have to interact with kernel implementations (which are not really used outside of telecoms). There is really no reason to make them talk the same protocol. It's likely better to use two different protocols tuned to those specific uses:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-joseph-quic-comparison-qui...

They will probably replace SCTP with QUIC also in WebRTC:

I'd wonder more about polished UX. Drag and drop just seems like something that's quirky to get right, especially across mobile devices.
Can you point to the feature request where you asked for 'new' on member functions, please? I would like to correct whatever response said it was in 'planning', because it has been doable for a long time now. Here's some sample Reason that outputs pretty much exactly your above code:

module Web3 = {
module Eth = {
module Contract = {
type t;

[@bs.module "web3"] [@bs.scope "eth"] [@bs.new]
external make: (string, string, {. "from": string}) => t = "Contract";
};
};
};

let contract = Web3.Eth.Contract.make("ABI", "contactAddress", {"from": "from"});

You can try it out in the interactive playground.

Also, regarding this:

> You don't have to create a type for the whole class of the third party library, just the data you want Elm to manage.

That's exactly how Reason JavaScript bindings work too.

A showerthought I recently had: as long as CAPTCHAs exist in their currently inefficient form, it could be argued that we'll never have strong artificial intelligence because CAPTCHAs are basically reverse Turing tests. I haven't developed this thought thoroughly, but I thought it'd be interesting to share.
This is really cool. My friends and I are greatly enjoying it. Thanks!!
Despite Tim Wu's article fundamentally supporting the Anti-Merger Act of 1950, he fails to acknowledge that 'populist, nationalist' thinking is often precisely about supporting local communities and nation states over globalization and giant platform companies.
K8s is nice even without microservices. Yeah you don't get nearly the benefits you would in a microservice architecture, but I consider it a control plane for the infrastructure, with an active ecosystem and focus on ergonomics. If you have a really simple infrastructure, you will still need to script spinning up the VMs, setting up the load balancing, etc. but K8s gives you a homogenous layer upon which to put your containers. It's not too much of an overkill, especially with a hosted K8s from e.g. Google, AWS, and soon Digital Ocean and Scaleway.

Things like throwing another node into the cluster, or rolling updates are free, which you would otherwise need to develop yourself. All of that is totally doable, of course, but I like being able to lean on tooling that is not custom, when possible.

When your infrastructure does need to become more complicated, you're already ready for it. Even if I were only serving a single language, starting with a K8s stack makes a lot of sense, to me, from a tooling perspective. Yeah normal VMs might be simpler, conceptually, but I don't consider K8s terribly complicated from a user perspective, when you're staying around the lanes they intend you to stay in. Part of this may also be my having worked with pretty poor ops teams in the past, but I think K8s gives you a really good baseline that gives pretty good defaults about a lot of your infrastructure, without a lot of investment on your part.

That said, if you're managing it on a bare metal server, then VMs may be much easier for you. K8s The Hard Way and similar guides go into how that would work, but managing high availability etcd servers and the like is a bit outside my comfort zone. YMMV.
The clause mentioned in that answer has changed recently to allow for emulators. See my other answers throughout this thread.

Your statement doesn't match up at all with what they said nor even make sense. What's the point of a business if you only have a test environment but rarely have a production environment?

You seem to be assuming to know what their development process and infrastructure is like.
AWS regions are very much isolated from each other.

We know because we are still waiting here in ap-southeast-2 for services such as EKS to be made available. Pretty sure that any reliance within their backend services on us-east-1 was just a temporary bug and nothing systemic.

I'm working on similar machines. The goal is to do farming that is better for the soil, uses less water and fertilizer, and doesn't use any pesticides (aside from beneficial insects).

The economics of farming are certainly tricky, but I think we can make it work. We may start out by operating our own farms.

“2) This issue was global in scope, affecting all of Google's regions. Therefore, in consideration of item 1 above, it was questionable/unpredictable whether or not a user could launch a node pool or even a simple node anywhere in GCP at all.”

Ok. So on aws we were* paying for putting systems across regions, but, honestly I don’t get the point. When an entire region is down what I have noticed is that all things are fucked globally on aws. Feel free to pay double - but it seems* if you are paying that much just pay for an additional cloud provider. Looks like it’s the same deal on GCP.
