The things is I never read about any major decisions Sundar Pichai has made. There's tons online about Tim Cook, Satya, Netflix's various SLs, Daniel Ek, Elon Musk (admittedly more about his tweets than business strat these days) etc. But I never read about Sunder Pichai's strategies or decisions. What is he actually doing?
Why are the Rich-old-comers any good? Wouldn't with this model mean that the richer are always the problem?
For me it has to be a yes and no. For context, I'm a robotics researcher, so lot of my work is exploratory in nature.

Yes, my work output has improved significantly. As another user mentioned here, having to not commute is a huge benefit. I start working at about 10AM, without feeling tired/exhausted groggy. Because of this, I can use precious early hours to focus completely on my research, rather than wasting them on morning commutes. This has led me to achieve better results and develop new models for my research.

The bad side of it is (again as another user mentioned) I tend to work longer hours. The lines between work, rest and play are really blurry now. Since I don't have a family to take care of etc this isn't much of a problem but it has taken a toll on me now. I read fewer books, something that I love, and spend less time doing things that I like.

So, yes it has been a boon in a way, but also bane.

Hope this answers your question!
Agreed.

And just to say, managing k8s on own hardware(or in cloud VM's) is a full-time position, which means you probably need more than 1 actual employee in that role, especially if you are a 24/7 shop, where you need 24/7 uptime and suddenly k8s is costing you a few full-time people just to keep k8s alive and healthy. That's a HUGE cost.

I manage nomad on the side, I spend < 10% of my time babysitting nomad, consul and vault. Basically I just upgrade it occasionally. Otherwise I rarely think about it.
Hardware is tricky. Anything hands on really.

For anything abstract I would argue that the people who are able to onboard and form teams and ideas remotely are inherently the best for the job and likely produce a disproportionate percentage of any teams output. In my experience when you remove middle management (as it happens when you go remote), you want to only hire those people adapted to remote and self-directed work.

I would argue that location based and remote teams are fundamentally different companies. Similar to how tech first and tech-second companies are fundamentally different. I can't think of a single tech-second company that was able to move into the tech-first world. Some local companies might be able to morph themselves into remote companies, but as we see today, they will both lose a lot of staff, and even change their product eventually.
There's a fair bit of truth to this, but it does leave out the fairly substantial number of faculty who teach in undergraduate or Masters-level institutions. I teach physics at a small liberal arts college so I never train grad students myself, but I definitely needed a Ph.D. to get this position.

That said, even if there were just as many of us as there are faculty at Ph.D. institutions, that would only raise your number who get tenured positions to 2.

Right, many CEOs don’t seem to understand their own business all that well, much less are they able to deal with the political and cultural challenges of driving a company in the right direction. So many CEOs are just filling space at the top while their company just sort of continues working under its own inertia. Nadella is one of the few who not only clearly had a meaningful vision for his company, but was able to take charge and successfully steer the ship.
So how would someone know they have connected to a honeypot? Presumably detecting this sort of thing is deliberately difficult, otherwise there isn't much point of the honeypot?
I lived with it.

At the beginning I was really worried, but as I said I was very alert despite lack of sleep/food and I was able to work etc.

My personal take from this experiment, was that we don't need that much food/sleep to thrive, but again that was my personal experience, and I wish there was more research on that instead of the constant mainstream message (sleep 8 hours and eat 5 meals etc.)
It's also capable of masking its proxy traffic as TLS. This works so well you could actually have a web server behind it that would still work through the same port for a regular TLS client.
That's more of a JS issue than Node issue. The problem you are describing is one of 10 years ago, but not so much today, so long as you have a decent IDE. Intellij is the best IDE out there for autocompletion/intellisense of JS.
If there is someone at Microsoft who didn't got enough credit it was Ray Ozzie. Remember him when he was Chief Software Architect? He started Azure / Microsoft transition to the cloud. He created that shift in focus that Microsoft now rides on. Had he not gotten that brief period as BillG's replacement, Microsoft would have continued to live in the past where windows and on-premise office suite was king. Ray Ozzie changed the direction of Microsoft without ever really getting any credits for it.

> On the other hand, California also created a bill that targets two companies specifically

No, it didn't.

AB5 codified a court decision with much broader impact than to those two companies, and in doing so exempted a few other impacted industries from it, leaving more than those two companies, and more than the industry they are in, still affected (whether you count the bill and the court case together, such that the impact is those not exempted, or separately, so that it is those exempted.)
> Internet trolls use the higher bar for entry of tech focused platforms to harass people who are competing in the desperate political struggle for approval that is mainstream social media. Conversely, this mainstream culture is also the source of the visceral disgust some people have for lawyers, journalists, activists, and other people who affect being underdogs so they aren't held to the standards of honest people, and then antagonize others using those dominant rules as a cover. The same can be said for trolls. What it comes down to is this calculus of self permission to act like a piece of shit because you identify as the underdog.

> It's not the platforms, it's the single idea that identifying as an outsider, resister, pariah, defender, or challenger, justifies cruelty because being "good," is defined by your chosen bugbear. The reality is the mainstream is not "good," the public sphere is an open sewer, and the only things that float in it are turds. It's not a right/left thing, it's a conflict between people competing for mainstream power and people trying to find freedom from that mainstream's domain, with some of each self-identifying as beneath decency.

What a great insight.

My opinion is that this comes down to the fact that we cannot be good in public. The more "in public" we are, the more dishonest we are.

The private sphere -- family, close friends, personal intimacy, etc -- is where people are at their best. We can be honest there. We can show weakness, we can apologize, we can compromise and we can forgive.

The internet has made lots of things public that used to be private. It is also taking things that were public and making them more public. This is making the world worse.

Since I know you've read Hannah Arendt, this matches up well with her assertion that "in politics, love is a stranger, and when it intrudes upon it nothing is being achieved except hypocrisy" and "hatred and love belong together, and they are both destructive; you can afford them only in the private". She insisted on glory -- not goodness or justice or love -- as the sole criterion for political action.

I don't use frameworks so there is no such blur for me. I also don't find Node any more complex now than it used to be even though there are more features and APIs. I just stick to the original callback style of writing code, stay true to Node's APIs, and use TypeScript.

The most challenging thing for me in Node right now it upgrading an application with my HTTP services to use HTTP 2 with binary streams.

Yes, "downtime" in this context being "non working time". Whether it's "relaxing" or not is a different question - and, again personally, commuting certainly isn't contrasted as being relaxing compared to home life.
It's similar to a lot of the people voting yes on 23: they want to stick it to the dialysis companies. I get that, but how is the prime consideration here not patient care? Drives me crazy how people will gleefully ignore the potential patient effect in favor of "punishing" corporations.
This isn't really comparing the results to other pentests, so I have a hard time seeing the use of this.
I think almost any pentest will miss some/many security issues.

And these issues look more like CTF style issues than real world security issues.
If you're not thinking about the challenge in the right way, it is probably harder to see the vulnerabilities.
This seems, so much more valuable than trying to use OpenAPI to generate server side code. Thanks!
omg. I tried to benchmark g2 on my dev/test workload and it was so much faster, I ended the test early and simply migrated over to g2.

Untold story: open source and CI is now sufficiently pervasive, that recompiling for ARM just isn't a big deal. Gone are the days of painful recompiles.

tl;dr: remember your first experience with SSD vs HD? that's what the g2 performance boost feels like.

I can’t really agree with this, especially not since the advent of typescript. There’s not a dynamic language in existence with better tooling than JavaScript. You open up a js file in vscode or webstorm or whatever, and the typescript language server kicks in so you get type hints for all your code. If you switch to typescript it’s a whole other level of type safety.

Also, it seems like your comment could be generalized to include all dynamic language runtimes, not just Nodejs.

A Serverless Attack on Ugly Log Archives
Yes I can totally agree with this, and it can be amplified by your environment, especially in HK where we're pretty much all slaves to our mortgages. I worked in ib and actually quit after I was relocated to Shanghai. My colleagues were a lot more understanding because you could actually feel the pace of technological change a lot more acutely than in a place like Hong Kong. But still most of them would never have the guts to do it themselves, they lose too much for a totally uncertain future and probably wouldn't make it anyways.

And yea I also lived like a bum for a few years after that but I never really cared as much for fine food or whatever it is stuffy banker types lived for anyways
I can’t agree more. In fact, I feel that consumer products (e.g. Surface) from Microsoft in the era of Ballmer was far better than those of now.
(TL;DR; It's just a different way of working with less manual code)

I never spent much time on webdev in the era where jQuery came into being but as I've understood (and from the jQuery code I've seen since) it solved basic issues in working with manipulating the DOM and gives powerful animation tools,etc. So as you say the upgrade over the browser API DOM manipulation is obvious, clear and direct.

I'd say that my background is mainly from games, where you usually setup your own data structures and then rendered them as it fit.

From time to time I've worked on custom tools on native platforms (win32/GDI/MFC, Java/Swing,etc) and working with these is conceptually similar to using the DOM (manipulating objects like adding buttons, responding to events, reading data from input boxes on events,etc) and there is always relatively lot of work with shipping data in and out of the UI objects (either keep data synchronized between UI and internal model or reading data from the UI continually).

Compared to your game rendering code that usually just needs to iterate internal data this always felt like a lot of manual work to keep UI and internal data in sync.

Considering for example a 3D program where you can drag around an object with some arrows, while those arrows are dragged an input-box is updated with the new values and if you want to align the position you might edit the value manually in the input box and have the 3D view show the new position as you edit it. On top of these 2 sources of value changes you might have an animation system wanting that might change these values while animating (so that they are visible to the user), this kinda stuff is usually a buggy nightmare to maintain once you have it in a few many places.

This is why I like Vue and React (Angular.JS also had this to a degree even if it's implementation was weaker than Vue), with both of them you only need to concern yourself with how your internal data works/looks and operations are simple to do since they only operate on that internal data.

Then the Vue templates (or your React rendering functions) takes care of visualizing it with the associated automatic functionality to adjust the internal values if changed by the user.
Our spend with vendors isn’t public because that vendors don’t want discounts published.
The best antidote for bad ideas and conspiracy theories is transparency and public debate.

Folks have tried this - multiple times - with anti-vaxxers. And flat earthers. And other anti-science folks. Yet, it has spread. THe other party has to be willing to actually accept the facts: Unfortunately, the very nature of a conspiracy is that they don't accept the facts that others have.

This move will serve to push these movements underground to Tor or other uncensorable networks where they're even harder to monitor. It also sends a message to them that they're on to something (because if the QAnon conspiracy was real, the "deep state" would indeed try to snuff it out).

Good. You know what happens when the information isn't easy to access? They have less reach. It gets harder to radicalize and convince others. It gets harder to stumble across the content. It isn't like we can avoid them thinking they are onto something: Everything against them is a sign to that.

It isn't like we really monitor them well enough to prevent all attacks, anyway.

I feel like this is such a bad precedent and will not end well. It will embolden the crazies. It's also not clear where this is supposed to end? Flat earthers? 9/11 truthers? Who's next?

Folks whose conspiracies harm others. Most flat earthers aren't going to cause harm to you unless you work in the right field. Some folks might just need watched from time to time. However, anti-vaxxers hurt others. Not only do they convince others not to vaccinate, but they put folks that can't be vaccinated or the immunocompromised at risk.

In any case, it will end somewhere, like things always do.

I really love falcor, though it seems to be quite underground outside of netflix these days. I dearly hope they keep open sourcing falcor stuff!

My company uses falcor exclusively for 2 years in the datalayer and it has major advantages for us compared to graphql or other alternatives:

- has all the features to expect from modern data layer (caching incl. invalidation and refreshing, request batching, pluggable transport protocol, error handling, endpoint stitching, delegation, handling of references, reactivity)

- much simpler to reason about, focus on the core features

- much more flexible for certain usecases, because the schema can change/evolve dynamically (really cool for rapid prototyping etc.)

- the query model (paths and path sets) is much closer to javascript and json than for graphql (also no need to parse and build a fairly complex query language string ). This allows us to gernerate nearly all queries automatcally from templates. Imagine apollo, but without any need to maunually define useQuery in the head of a component. This is really THE killer feature of falcor.

Heh! I did both of those jobs as well. I still remember the large plastic tray you had to use to organize all the little parts and O-rings.

Did you ever have a clever employee that thought they could use the 5-gallon plastic buckets as a quicker way to dispose of the old fryer shortening? I watched that happen one Sunday morning. That was amazing.
I agree that he did.

What I see, is that MS acted like a small-company startup for many years; ferociously competitive, fairly agile (not the Agile Manifesto kind; just flexible and responsive). That paid off for them (and it's arguable whether or not it was a good thing for the industry in general -it sank a number of companies, but also put Seattle firmly into the center of the tech world).

Then they became a blue-chip company, and all that startup-y stuff wasn't working anymore. Also, the consumer market changed a lot, with mobile overtaking desktop systems. For many, many folks, smartphones are the only computers that they will ever use.

He did have the right vision for a new corporate direction.
