It has been 10 years since I left Canonical (on good terms), but what popey describes (hi popey) about the intentional lack of human review in the Snap store sounds very Canonical to me. I agree with all the…
Real world usage is you only get to use ~70% of the stated range on a road trip, so we're really talking about 350 miles of range, which is, as you say, what most people actually want. Why 70%? You obviously don't run…
You need to use the fully loaded cost of an employee when estimating opex savings, which includes health care costs, retirement funding, etc. Rule of thumb is that fully loaded cost for US employees is approximately 2x…
Google SRE here. Point of clarification on "losing skills" by not being oncall enough. Google designs its SRE teams to scale sublinearly to the service, which means we're often responsible for entire portfolios, not…
As mentioned elsewhere, the worse bug was in upstream, unpatched gdm. It's been a very long time since I worked on a distro (former Canonical employee here) but every distro carries patches of some sort.
The politics is exactly the point of my comment. The professional way to write a blog post like this is from your own perspective. Identify the proximate cause (the peer), name names if you must, talk about how awesome…
Google networking SRE here (my team runs ns[1-4].google.com among other services). Regardless of original intent, the blog doesn't land well with me. It could have provided the background on flowspec, using their own…
The design you propose is stateful, and if you read the chapter closely, you can see we spend a lot of effort to make things stateless. The main thing I wanted to respond to in this thread about a single bad server…

I don't have a platform the size that the recoil author has. That's the difference.
So here's a nuanced view I'm sure will get downvoted into the ground: both FB and the employee were right, but along different dimensions, and this outcome was not only inevitable, but desirable. The employee, as a…
All managers in Google (engineering and non-engineering) are encouraged to take a 2-day immersive course. There's a course for "experienced manager, but new to Google" and a course for "new manager" with content…
Thanks, you made my day. I'm a Google network SRE, but perhaps I'll get new business cards saying "cold potato engineer".
I was an HP-UX kernel engineer from 2002 til 2005, a brief interlude writing IA64 CPU diagnostics, and then and a Linux kernel engineer from 2007 til 2010, all on Itanium systems. In that time frame, it wasn't clear…

Isn't that what MobileCoin is?
We've avoided many of the problems (and solutions) in the link by standardizing on Ubuntu laptops for the host OS, and using vagrant-lxc to run our vagrant guests. https://github.com/fgrehm/vagrant-lxc At least one or…
I was hired 2 years ago by Angaza to be one of their early engineers. Found the role when I was idly trawling through the massive hiring thread one evening, mildly dissatisfied with my job at the time, but not really…
Or it's idiomatic for that language.
YMMV, of course. I have found the exact opposite experience. https://plus.google.com/u/0/+AlexChiang/posts/JKdr1LTLQD2
FYI, for those who want to write cross-platform GUI apps but prefer to avoid C++ (even the mildly nicer Qt flavor...), there are alpha-quality go bindings for QML. https://github.com/go-qml/qml
It will come with Android pre-installed already, in a dual-boot configuration.
The current Ubuntu Phone image does not have any Amazon integration at all. When in desktop mode, you will be plugged into A/C power.
The cost of my team's engineering time over the next multiple months is not covered by the $32M. I do not think you will be surprised.
We will not profit at all on this campaign.
