Just wanted to say, one of the exciting things I realized when I joined Google was that the maintainer of GDB was my org's director at that time. Not sure how much it matters, but it gave me confidence in the leadership to know that someone who knows the details is running the show at the top. It made me trust the leadership chain much more than I normally would otherwise.


Thanks - it is truly and greatly appreciated :)

I wonder if this was the LOL[1] days - looking back on it, it's hard to believe how much people outside the org cared about the name, and us trying to not take ourselves too seriously.

[1] For everyone else, at one point we named the org Languages, Optimizations, and Libraries. People either loved or hated it.


Do you support Java? If so, how do you do this for Java?


Java is supported, but currently in the pro version. Since JavaSSL is implemented in Java code, which runs in the Java VM and not exported as static symbols that can be uprobe'd, there is a bit more involved to generate a bridge between the JVM bytecode and static symbols that can be probed.


Not sure why you are getting downvoted - this is literally what two of the people I know do. They actually make more than what I make at a FAANG. The real kicker? One of their jobs is a contractual position and so they opened up a business for it and hiring family members as employees to save on taxes. So the take home pay is actually higher than me.

Doing so however carries a lot of risk and one needs to have a certain mentality to be able to actually do it (I certainly don't have that).


Which car allows you to watch videos from your phone on the Console?



I believe the Chrysler Pacifica lets you stream to the rear seat video screens. I’m sure there are others as well.


I’m going to go ahead and assume those video screens aren’t 4K. I don’t think bandwidth is going to be a big problem.


That is not from your device.


You can connect your phone or iPad with a cable to the UConnect system and do things like stream Netflix or other video streams to the screens.


It uses FUSE and there's three types of Kernel cache you could use with FUSE (although, it seems like gcsfuse is exposing only one):

1. Cache of file attributes in the Kernel (this is controlled by "stat-cache-ttl" value - https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gcsfuse/blob/7dc5c7ff...) 2. Cache of directory listings 3. Cache of file contents

It should be possible to use (2) and (3) for a better performance but might need changes to the underlying fuse library they use to expose those options.


Thanks so much - this sort of info absolutely should be in the docs (and easy to find)


I would suggest also looking at https://github.com/bazelbuild/remote-apis. Its essentially a standard API for remote (any binary) execution as a service and there are several reference implementations of it (Buildgrid, BuildBarn, Google's own service etc).

And you can consider using gVisor to minimize container breakouts to a great extent.


I'll checkout that remote-apis link.

gVisor was considered but so far it looks like the next iteration with be using firecracker vms. Our backend is buildkit and it can't run in gvisor containers without some work.


Firecracker looks great but it requires bare metal instances or nested virtualization (which is not supported by EC2 instances IIRC).

How do you run firecracker?


EC2 metal instances are expensive but they let you run FC.


> While he noticed the telephone wires running alongside the highway, Peters said, he did not realize until later that there were also wires crisscrossing the highway every few hundred feet, and that somehow his small plane must have slipped between them without him even noticing.

> “Honestly, I didn’t see them. I think that was divine intervention, moving those wires away from me,” he said.

If you read the article, he explains the reasoning.


20% of world's surface fresh water.


> Surface water is water located on top of land forming terrestrial (inland) waterbodies, and may also be referred to as blue water, opposed to the seawater and waterbodies like the ocean.

You made it sound like "surface water" is literally just counting water close to the surface of the body of water, but it's basically any lake/river, so still impressive.

> Lake Baikal is the world's largest freshwater lake by volume, containing 22–23% of the world's fresh surface water, more than all of the North American Great Lakes combined. It is also the world's deepest lake, with a maximum depth of 1,642 metres (5,387 feet; 898 fathoms), and the world's oldest lake, at 25–30 million years.


They are distinguishing between water located on the surface and the water that is located in the hollow at the center of the Earth, where King Kong and dinosaurs live on to this day.


I wonder how they experience gravity down there.


If you're standing on the inside surface of a sphere with a hollow, you should not experience any gravity. It's pretty important for supporting King Kong's body-weight, normal 1g would be hell on his knee joints.


I don’t think they made it sound like that, they just used the word, if you don’t know the definition it’s on you?


In comparison to ground water, which is located in aquifers, dirt, caves, etc.


Or they just went with Alphabetical order when signing the letter? Order doesn’t mean much to be honest in this context - you don’t put your name on the letter unless you really agree with what’s on the letter. Now it maybe possible that Marc never co-signed this in which case he will speak out hopefully and explain his stance better.


> Or they just went with Alphabetical order when signing the letter?

The letter starts out, "I am writing". A spouse will usually use "we" when contemporaneously speaking for both themself and their partner.

> you don’t put your name on the letter unless you really agree with what’s on the letter. Now it maybe possible that Marc never co-signed this in which case he will speak out hopefully and explain his stance better.

Also possible his wife included his full name for the cachet without first asking, but upon finding out Marc decided this wasn't a hill he wanted to die on. He wouldn't have been the first spouse to make that choice.

The letter would evince the fundamental problem with NIMBYism even if Marc didn't willingly sign on--people who oppose projects are typically far more aggressive and outspoken than those accepting of new development, who tend to be more passive; and this dichotomy and one-sided paralysis manifesting between members of the same household only makes the contrast more stark.

It's far more important that people appreciate that dynamic, whether it existed in this case or not. There's absolutely nothing new about people being hypocritical, and righteous indignation about hypocrisy, however sweet, doesn't lead to people affirmatively advocating for development, or any other policy for that matter. People will relinquish veto power not as a consequence of others' hypocrisy, but when they realize and accept that they, themselves, are not up to the task of counteracting NIMBYs, and the only practical alternative is to make their own, personal sacrifice (i.e. relinquishing a not insubstantial measure of power and control) for the greater good.


I guess on the flip side, I was receiving 100$ per month in AWS credits for about 2 years for an Alexa skill I had disabled. This was also incompetence in this case.


still receiving them lol. its actually a really nice gesture bc the credits expire and the money more than covers the cost but i feel more inclined to use AWS for the next thing i build because of credits
