Process is useful for raising the lowest deliveries quality, for making former-unknowns into knowns, and for preventing misaligned behavior when culture alone becomes insufficient. If you have need for speed, a team…
And you could write a similar blog post about why Google "failed" at AI productization (at least as of a year ago). For some of the same and some completely different reasons. - two competing orgs via Brain and…
It was in the early days of Kubernetes and long since fixed. I don't recall the precise details, but it was likely the first official CVE we published: https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/issues-security/officia...…
The code in question reminds me a lot of my favorite Kubernetes bug: if (request.authenticationData) { ok := validate(etc); if (!ok) { return authenticationFailure; } } Turns out the same meme spans decades.
As far as I could tell, its main goal was to have fun writing an OS. At that, it seems to have succeeded for a number of the people involved? In terms of impact or business case, I'm missing what the end goal for the…
Clearly the next step after building your own CPU and SOC is to start Apple Foundry and become totally vertically integrated?
Also a myth for GCE. From a technical perspective, App Engine and Compute Engine were built on top of internal infrastructure (borg), but did not expose borg directly. And there were a number of interesting mismatches…
If Netflix were working correctly and could handle the load, you'd absolutely be correct. But it does seem the capacity of a hybrid system of Netflix servers plus P2P would be strictly greater than either alone? It's…
Yes, the properties about scaling do hold even with near-real-time streams. [1] The problems with using it as part of a distributed service have more to do with asymmetric connections: using all of the limited upload…

Willow appears closer to a "Protocol Construction Kit" than a protocol itself. As a construction kit, it has value for people who want to make protocols where they'll control both ends, but don't have to re-implement…
Maybe interesting aside: I saw a link to this when it was first published at the height of the p2p networks craze and noticed some similarities between the two. One of my students at the time, Mahadev Konar, ended up…
I get that, but IMO it's not an issue. On one shard you can't use more than base CPU, so there's no advantage to a subscription there. Other optional shards are almost entirely people who subscribe. Do that too if you…
Look at Screeps: World [0] for depth in a programming base-builder RTS. You write the code for each of your units, either natively in Javascript or Typescript, or via WASM you can run Rust, Python, etc. You use a…

> if the goal was to simplify things, then I'm not sure how successful they were at that. Maybe if they have other goals that are tradeoffs vs. simplicity, then it's more understandable? What if another goal is allowing…
> I don't use any networking sites such as LinkedIn etc Reconsider that. You can try to add everyone you remember from previous companies or school, and you'll be more available to recruiters. "Luck surface area."
It does seem like network configuration remains rather manual compared to other large scale systems that include more automation. In Microsoft's case, the remediation is not to put in place higher level systems to…

Perfectionism is too short a label, and could be one or many of multiple underlying issues. Ultimately, you seem aware of the tendency, so ask yourself: why can't I do "good enough" and move forward? Maybe the fear of…
For a decent take on that organizational deficiency, Rickover wrote a 1.5 page memo in 1953 addressing similar issues for the nuclear US Navy. At some point, it's a failing of process and structure rather than people.…
Something similar is one reason early Kubernetes was successful: many of the core people in the project were in an irc/slack channel available for anyone with questions. That direct two-way communication both unblocked…

Chargers are finally coming: here's one that does 48w from one usb-c port or 30w+18w from 2 ports (plus 2 usb-a), plenty for a non-gaming laptop and phone:…
Generally seems like a great offering! I see immutable, but also upgradable? Is that via in-place upgrades or do upgrades require a reboot? Example: severe bug or vulnerability in kubelet or containerd/docker. Can I use…
