Why would Apple launch its own Google? What's the business case of this? Searching on iOS is vastly different than searching on the internet.

Not surprising. Cloudflare is cancer.

I feel like either there are organizational issues, or this guy micromanages. I report to a VP (Fortune 100) and even he has fewer meetings than this guy.

It's a well known fact that it's a red flag and you should move on to different direction if they mention they're like a family. Employment is a business relation based on a contract agreement of both parties. That's it.

I was interviewing with a company and was genuinely interested in the position until they mentioned they were like a family. Sent them a not interested email after the meeting.

What's floatplane? Hadn't heard of it. The website doesn't say much.

SQLAlchemy also does something similar. It points to relevant SQLAlchemy page for more information about the error.

There's also MeetingBar (https://meetingbar.onrender.com). Free and open source. Unlike these guys it doesn't collect data (https://meetingbar.onrender.com/privacy/).

Not sure if you know what you're talking about. Python has always been a strongly typed language.

> setting up kubernetes is as easy as "# apt install kubelet kubectl".

That's not even remotely accurate unless you run Kubernetes on AWS, Azure, GCP.

> straight out of kubernetes home page: "Kubernetes builds upon 15 years of experience running production workloads at Google".

Sounds like you need to read that sentence carefully. They never say they use Kubernetes.

It seems to me you're a Kubernetes fanboy.

We only use Python but we let Envoy to do the transcoding between gRPC and JSON. No issues.

human_error — Tue, 22 Sep 2020 18:19:47 +0000

"At Area 120, we work on 20% projects 100% of the time."

So this is some people's pet project that has no backing from Google. Given Google kills products (whose full time jobs) at any time, I wouldn't be surprised Google kills Tables before I finish this sentence.

Yeah no... I might be wrong but the last time I checked it cost around $200K to register a TLD. If you pay $200K, you get a TLD.

human_error — Sun, 20 Oct 2019 16:10:24 +0000

Sounds like this is a paid article for an agenda. Yang sees where automation is going and as far as I know he's the only candidate talks about automation and coming up with solutions.

How is it different than Buck or Pants? What makes Bazel better than them? If I already use Buck or Pants what benefit would I get if I move to Bazel?

Do you have an example on this?
