Sounds like a small scale outage, I wouldn't use that headline TBH. Amazon wouldn't even report something like this. We get various small outages from AWS every few weeks, and it doesn't even show up on their dashboards.
Go to any blog about "good" modern architecture. As it turns out "good" architecture these days is roof-less bauhaus with windows that take the entire front wall, including the bedroom. Looks good on Tumblr, impossible…
Google has "snippets". You basically write up what you did last week. They aren't mandatory, but encouraged. I have found them useful because I can then just go through them and pick the things I want to write in my…
FB is just younger. They have plenty of horseshit projects already, the most recent and public one being Aquila. It's not like anyone is going to allow US-controlled drones stuffed with electronics of unknown provenance…
So that if the public catches up to what it actually is PR damage on Google proper would be contained, and a new division ("Google Y"?) could be spun up from its tattered remains?
Where do I even begin. :-) State of the art achievements in object recognition, speech recognition, reinforcement learning, natural language parsing, natural language understanding, and so on and so forth, across the…
I don't disagree, but GoogleX is _not_ Google's research arm. Google Research actually produces very cool stuff that's beneficial to the company, and does so at a pretty rapid clip. GoogleX, on the other hand, takes…
Y'all misunderstand why Google X exists. It exists for three reasons: 1. To obscure the fact that Google is an advertising company, first and foremost, by creating dazzling PR. The more insane the project, the better.…
OO is one of those things best used in strict moderation. Unfortunately, most people lack moderation, and strive not to necessarily solve the issue, but to show everyone just how smart they are. As a result we get…
This comment is made all the more humorous by the fact that Google doesn't actually do "microservices" internally. They have no qualms about building giant, monolithic binaries for things, and split things out based on…
Memegen is actually the best part about Google. It's an internal meme site where people poke fun at the various failings (perceived or real) of Google, each other, and upper management. You can even poke fun at the…
The level of incivility is more of a side effect of being a large company. Google is also full of professional victims who blow even the minor transgressions (e.g. telling someone they look good at an offsite)…
It is much more of a parallel track there, in the sense that it's a completely different job from that of a software engineer. Notice that they don't say anything about the length of each of the tracks. If it's money…
Throwaway for obvious reasons. I have first hand experience with both FB and Google. When it comes to office politics, Google is currently turning into shit pretty rapidly, comparatively speaking. It's still miles…
