ubreakifixit is the only place that can do a glass replacement and keep it with warranty. If your screen is dead, and not just your glass cracked, I don't know. A screen replacement was $160.

I had a Pixel which literally slipped half an inch to the floor and the screen cracked. Verizon told me that it was damage that I did and thus they wouldn't replace it. I complained that no phone should just crack from such a small fall; that the phone isn't made right if that happens.

No dice. Had to replace the screen. Which I did. Then I returned it for an iPhone SE. And that iPhone has survived much harder drops with no damage whatsoever.

Because many of the base infrastructure libraries are compatible as long as they used interfaces (grumble grumble os.File). I would be very surprised if this doesn't implement net/http/ServeHTTP

This. It's actually more idiomatic to use the same name, then you can often just sub out one library for another without any hassle.

FWIW, having played around with Google's routers, they work pretty well, even from iOS. Chromecasts "just work" in the old Apple sense of the term: you plug it in, you find the thing you want to watch online that you want on your TV, press the button in Chrome and hey presto, you got your cat video on your OLED.

If you're OK with having Google store data on you[1], I'd say the Google hardware division has a lot of what you talk about here.

[1] Before the flood of angry HN replies come in, I get that is not everyone, but knowing what I know about Google's privacy practices, I am perfectly happy with that.

It's just an upper-bound. "At its worst peak it'll be 5x"

Where did you get the idea it drives interviewers crazy?

a) I shouldn't ask questions that are in that book, any question found in the wild is banned.

b) I want my candidates to study and show me the best of themselves, and that they want the job and are not wasting my time by throwing their resume on the pile as an afterthought.

c) Cracking the Code Interview is really good at helping you through the algorithmic questions popular on whiteboards. I find the signal:noise ratio on those questions pretty poor, so I ask more straightforward questions that more closely represent things a software engineer encounters in their everyday life. CtCI is good for getting you up to snuff at the stuff you don't do all the time (if ever) just in case you get That Interviewer.

Admittedly, I am but one interviewer and there are many others who do many things many different ways, but I've never heard anyone denounce candidates studying.

> A hiring process that can be gamed by reading a book sold by the process giver is especially flawed and morally corrupt.

Hahaha, please tell me another one Mr. Trump.

> A hiring process that acts as if years of experience mean nothing and which reduces your career to a score on a web page generated by a terrible constructed test is especially flawed and inhumane.

Being old is not an indicator of success.

You seriously seem to live in some wonderland where the quality of a candidate just magically appears out of thin air.

I want candidates to have studied. Studying isn't gaming. Studying is being smart. I want candidates that studied. Those that didn't I don't want. They don't want the job badly enough.

I routinely test older candidates who can't program anywhere outside of the little box they made for themselves, and freak out when they see a programming language that isn't the one they've used for the last 20 years. Is that inhumane?

Gayle is awesome. Cracking the Code Interview is a really great book, and I credit it for getting me through some of my interviews. Everyone here poking at her are people shooting the messenger for delivering the inconvenient truth.

a) Big US enterprises are under attack from state-sponsored actors on a daily basis, so it's not that weird. It's not like the NSA weren't caught with their hands in the cookie jar either.

b) If you name the state you think is behind it, you better be ready for the diplomatic repercussions between the US government and the rogue state, as well as potentially stopping doing business in that state (see Google and China)

I'm not entirely convinced that people who have a bad experience with Windows support would then assume Azure support was poor, similarly with Amazon and AWS... Why should Google [Product Area X] and Google Cloud be any different?

FWIW Google Cloud Support != Google support in general. My interactions with Cloud Support on the other side of the fence has led me to believe they are very committed and working very hard. Yes, you have to pay for it. But once you do, regardless of the tier of support, I've seen them work tirelessly and escalate tickets to engineering quickly (order hours, not days) if they couldn't figure it out.

I'm looking at the postmortem now and without wishing to jump the gun and talk about things I can't, it looks like this is being taken very seriously and a number of improvements and bug fixes are going to result. In this instance, I think it's doing the Cloud Support people a disservice to call them "disingenuous".

Can you point me to instructions for this setup? I'd love to try F# (having dabbled in Haskell) on macOS, but I keep getting the feeling that F# really needs Visual Studio to shine... which is a feeling which may or may not be accurate.
