It'd be useful if you mentioned this in your caveats list, since version skew is a common gotcha that some serialization technologies (e.g. protobuf) are designed explicitly to address.

Does this work if the two communicating processes use different versions of the struct?

There's very little technical substance to this article, and I found the tone of it peculiar and off-putting.

Although it's generally quite hard to get fired from Google, leakers have always been dealt with severely. Google once upon a time fired a member of the original Macintosh team for leaking information about the Christmas bonus.

My guess is that the increased closing off of various documents is to do with the increased amount of confidential partner-related information as Google scales its cloud business.

But, as is often the case with Google, much of the disillusionment here seems to be due to unrealistic expectations and nostalgia. There have always been secretive projects at Google. Chrome was super-secret; you needed special authorization to get into the Google+ area; you needed special authorization to get into areas where new Android hardware was being worked with; you needed special authorization to get into the X area; etc.

Is it possible that jews, asian-americans, and academic faculty and donors place a greater emphasis on adademic education than other demographics, and raise their children in a way that makes them more likely to be successful in academic settings?

A huge improvement, IMO!

Google doesn't actually use Kubernetes much, so the "operation hardened internally" argument isn't valid.

The issue here isn't with "Mr No", it's with those who mindlessly parrot his policies.

I've met "Mr No" at Google, and he is in fact quite a reasonable and funny guy.

Idealism will lose some of its luster when the time comes for them to pay off their enormous student loans.

"Get interested in programming, and do some because it is fun. Make sure that it keeps being enough fun so that you will be willing to put in your ten years/10,000 hours."

This is a great definition of talent.

If you want to be perceived as an 10x engineer, be the engineer who starts the codebase, write all the code according to your preferences, and maintain a position as arbiter of what the "right way" to do things is in the codebase as the team grows.

HTTP is the web, not HTML.

My guess is that whoever was organizing the interviews couldn't find a devops person to do the interview. They found a regular dev to do it instead, and that interviewer was inexperienced and asked one of the only questions they knew.

Moral: Take interview training and make yourself available to do interviews, especially if you're in a relatively niche role. Make this attitude the norm in the industry.

You’re not forced to use the "imperative verbosity" in the article. The following is shorter and more idiomatic.

    serializeType := model.SerializeNonArchivedOnly
    if showArchived {
        serializeType = model.SerializeAll
    }

Pick an idea and try to make it work. There's useful advice to be found here and elsewhere on the web, but your own experience trumps all that. You'll learn a lot, and if/when you decide to return to the corporate world you'll be in an advantaged position to do so.

Consider instead writing a small program in your favorite programming language that generates the YAML, and then piping the output of that into `kubectl apply`.

I don't think it's worth studying many programming languages just for the sake of doing so. It's very rare that you get to choose the language to use on a project. If your goal is to be a great software engineer, your professional development time would likely be better spent working on domain knowledge and skills complementary to coding such as communication and leadership.

The title should be "Not everyone has a book in them". If everyone did not have within them a book, then there would be no new books.

Disgustingly ingenuous! Any language can be used to implement the factory design pattern.

To the extent that drug users are burdens on society, drug use should be regulated.

You should learn Java if you want to get a job programming in Java (e.g. a very large proportion of programming jobs).

Hand-coding multiple versions of a function or class to accommodate various types would be just as bad in terms of code size, no? Plus it'd be tedious and error-prone to do this.

I wonder why they deemed templates to be "insufficient or not efficient enough for a high-performance, multithreaded kernel".

FWIW if someone were to build AI technology to classify militants vs civilians in images from drones then I'd prefer it to be a competent company such as Google, since presumably an accurate well-engineered classifier would reduce collateral damage.

This article is hilarious, and perhaps there's some truth in it, but it seems to me that the anthropologist David Graeber has a substantial chip on his shoulder, and to me this taints the overall credibility of his thesis (inasmuch as the article represents it). The dig at Oxford's PR department seemed egregiously random to me. (I wonder if he was rejected by Oxford at some point in his academic career.)

Sales tax in the UK is 20%. A gallon of gas is >$7. Salaries are miniscule compared to the US. SF/NYC real estate is a bargain compared to London. And the NHS, well hmm...

What do folks in the US with health insurance have to pay? Insurance companies get huge discounts on the artificially inflated listed prices.

Same here. My main concern was that I wouldn't be able to use sites for which I'd used Facebook login. This turned out not to be a problem at all.

If you're experiencing withdrawal symptoms due to a lack of attention from people on the internet after deleting Facebook, you can just re-enable your account. There's no need to write yet another article about why you did it.

The design of this site is simultaneously awesome and exhausting. I closed the tab halfway down the page.
