I've turned down actual offers because even some medium-sized companies won't tell you which team you'll be working on when the offer is extended.

I get that things can be fluid, but its such a meat machine.

> It's an infinite loop ...

In Go, if runtime.GOMAXPROCS() returns 1 or is set to 1 (meaning, Go only has access to a single system thread), the 'for' loop canabalizes the scheduler and the goroutine is rarely or never scheduled.

That fact doesn't make the OP's statement true, or have anything to do with the optimization bug, but it is worth pointing out that there are situations where Go correctly cannot guarantee that goroutine is executed.

Investors pull the strings. The behavior isn't the result of an investment, but failing to implement procedures after the fact to stop future incidents definitely can be. Not through action, but through inaction.

Meaning, more ethical investors (also known as: Board Members) might say "We need to do something about this."

They did detect the hack.

Looks great. My main complaint is that the templates feature appears to be reinventing Terraform. Would have been cool if we could use the Terraform templates we already have, or even provide support for CloudFormation (given this is an AWS-only tool).

Gundb is garbage.

But single node with unlimited room to grow is always a good value prop. Cockroach can market that, but Spanner can't.

I can't generalize for every school, or everyone at every school. I attended an engineering program at one of the top 5 schools by total international student population.

Honestly, international students are cliquey. Many of them that I talk to openly admit to cheating on their english proficiency exams universities require you to take before you can attend. Meshing with local students is nearly impossible if you don't understand the language proficiently.

I'd expect you'd see roughly the same numbers if you looked at American students in Chinese universities, or elsewhere. But we have to make this anti-American because its Quartz, and Trump is bad, right?

But the most successful products tend to be ones that can scale from zero to global. DynamoDB is a great example.

Given that Spanner starts at $650/mo/node + storage costs, I think Cockroach could still see huge usage as a self-hosted alternative.

Its probably a class size of 2, with Amazon. Beyond those two though, no one else is close.

When I say MacBooks... I mean the MacBook Pros. As in, what this article is talking about. Apple never reduced the size of the MB battery by 30%. Or added a second screen. Or kept performance they same (they improved performance gen-over-gen with the MB). Use your head. Apply some context.

Everyone talks about the downsides of the new MacBooks. No one talks about about how they reduced the size of the internal battery by 30%, effectively added a second screen, improved overall performance, and still kept the same battery life.

This isn't true on the span of a single year due to market volatility.

That information is pretty easily available.
