I don't think you understand the difference between self-documenting code and documentation for a library's public API. Sure, there are tools out there that can read specific comment strings, but self-documenting code is still not the same as documentation.

Hangouts was a different story. Brief summary: * Google convinced everyone to use a common open standard, rest of the industry went on board * Google abandoned the open standard because they needed a new proprietary one that did video and group chat and worked with phones * A Firefox add-on (plugin?) worked with Hangouts for a while * Firefox shut down the add-on system due to security issues in general (not related to Hangouts) * Hangouts worked for Chrome because it was a mono Google product, Hangouts wasn't standard * In the last year or so, Google fixed Hangouts to be more standardized and works with Firefox now, and doesn't need a plugin.

Technically he's right but not for the reason he thinks he's right. The only validity to his nitpick is that http/json are presentation layer concerns and not business logic. They are however requirements that will be hard to accomplish on a database.

They might indeed have skipped a lot of them, but this is kind of a day zero optimization of just removing NOPs that are incredibly easy to detect in a single if. if they really skipped these kind of things, then I'm not surprised they are where they are and the OP is right. A shame. It's good to have multiple engines to "keep everyone honest".

That’s an awful lot of unwarranted snark, but I suppose this is r/programming. I couldn’t watch the video because I was in a crowded room without headphones, and I do work in distributed systems—I’m just skeptical of things that claim to solve some of the hardest problems my industry faces in an hour and without creating new ones.

Safari master race. A bit of an aside, if you are using Chrome instead of Safari on a mac, you're making a huge mistake (imo) and are probably just using it because you used to use it in the past on windows or before safari got really good.

> that http/json are presentation layer concerns and not business logic. i disagree. http and json are just a form of passing data. it has nothing to do with the presentation layer. and if we're following the typical 3 layer architecture all/most communication lies within the biz logic layer. splitting hairs aside. you can probably accomplish most of it on a database. sql server for example can make http calls and has json serialization and deserialization support. its just going to be a mess of a code and probably not perform as well in comparison to the more common alternatives. which is my point. just because you can doesn't mean you should.

Orphans don't somehow make other data less correct. They're just wasted storage. Next you'll be against all null references. The simple fact is that foreign key constraints don't prevent you from referencing the wrong data which is the only integrity that really matters. And document stores provide other benefits like HA, scalability, performance, and efficiency. Different problem, different tools.

>Capitalism is a system that generally rewards sociopathy I disagree with this. Any knowledge of centrally planned economies, or non-democratic governments, or any variation of any sort of government / system whatever, or even any experience in any organised group - volunteering, charities, etc. There are assholes everywhere, and people doing anything from stealing office supplies from work (or moral equivalent), to getting off on little power trips, or dumping garbage wherever it's convenient. It's not capitalism or free market, or any of that. As an example, I'll use myself. I know that global warming is fucking terrible for the earth. Yet I still eat meat, I still take international flights - because I want to. I still buy individually packaged things often. I know amazon promotes a consumerist culture and doesn't pay their workers well - but I still ordered a guitar off amazon and a few Christmas gifts over the last week, because it was really convenient. I could have made gifts. My friends and family would have been really happy with that - but I was busy working, to make money, to spend on international flights and amazon. I *know* I do these things. Odds are you do these things or similar too. And if you don't odds are *really* good that your friends and family does these things. Are you holding them accountable? Are you demanding that they be better? And when you do something like that, is it an exception 'because you just had no choice'?

Really excited to finally have a switch-expression. After having used pattern matching in other languages (such as F#), I've always wanted that in C#. I've always hated using switch statements because of how bloated they get after a couple branches. And combined with that you couldn't assign a value as a result of them only lessened their usefulness. The syntax for the switch-expression is a bit funky, but I guess that's what happens when you keep bloating the language with new features.

And the lion could *just not* eat the gazelle. This behavior is just the nature of large companies. When an organization gets large enough, the shareholders and executives are just working with distant abstractions, 10 degrees of separation away from the actual day-to-day behavior of the company, and every concern but the profit motive fades into the background.

Sure, it's a stretch for the average company/developer, but most startups nowadays are using some variation of containerized applications and cloud services/PaaS/SaaS. Even notoriously slow-to-adapt companies such as telecoms are moving towards Kubernetes and Docker, so it's definitely a broader industry trend.

The YouTube rebuild was in the works on Polymer before the Shadow DOM V1 consensus even happened. No, they weren't rolling back months of work because of that. They can adapt later on the fly, after browsers have support so Polymer won't even be needed anymore. Oh, and Firefox made Web Components stable in them with Version 63 (not even a month ago, released on October 23rd 2018.) So yea, it's going to be some time before YouTube updates to use the native platform and verify that it functions as expected. I've built things in Web Components against Firefox's development code, it was extremely buggy. I would not trust simply the fact that they marked it as stable as everything is perfectly fine with it. YouTube, as big as they are, should conduct due diligence in testing before taking advantage of it. Not everything is, "They use a polyfill, it's evil!" They are actually trying to apply good programming practices here that is recommended. Feature detect, use the latest tech where you can, and polyfill if not supported or fallback to a slightly degraded but still usable experience.

I generally do not spend hundreds of hours to recreate known libraries and i'm not totally against breaking backwards compatibility in libraries as long as it is clear that the library's API is not meant to remain compatible - either explicitly via the library's documentation/site/whatever or implicitly by the library's own nature (e.g. a library being part of an application that isn't meant to be used outside that application and is a library mainly for architectural reason doesn't need to care about API compatibility) so that anyone who decides to use it know what they are entering into and that they and/or their users may have to face issues in the future due to incompatibilities - if they care is up to them. Also i do not really mind small changes that wont take more than an hour or so to update for libraries that are linked statically (or dynamically but are *always* meant to be distributed with the application) since these wouldn't affect anyone trying to use the program. It still is a problem for people trying to build a program from source - especially if they are not familiar with the code and/or the library - but this is a minority case. And of course when things are in the pre-1.0/pre-first-release stage it is only natural that they can break - i do not expect people to know beforehand what issues might come up. Basically this is what i try to do with my own stuff. When it comes to my own personal stuff, i prefer to make a note when things are not going to be stable - like the [RTTK](http://runtimeterror.com/rep/rttk) package i use for my own tools which makes it clear that is mainly meant as shared code that others may pick up stuff from. But i do not tend to release many libraries and the few i have aren't in a stable state. The closest to a stable library i have is the C implementation of my [LIL](http://runtimeterror.com/rep/lil) scripting language, the API of which hasn't changed almost at all (i think i only changed a single function signature) in 9 years while the language is backwards compatible (bugs notwithstanding). Of course 9 years isn't much and it has only been in recent years that i started caring more and more about backwards compatibility, but that is what i have. And TBH i do not really see a reason to change anything - i might add new stuff to the C API and perhaps add a function or two in the language (due to the way the language works, it wont break any existing code even if i add new stuff), but i doubt i'll see a reason to make any backwards incompatible changes. The main reason i haven't made a stable "1.0" release is that i want to rewrite the massive "readme" file (which is really the docs of everything) to a [LILArt](http://runtimeterror.com/rep/lilart)-based document that can be converted to other formats, like HTML, CHM, PDF, PS, etc - but to do that i also need to finish LILArt... and its own documentation :-P. As i work on a lot of other stuff and of course have a day job that keep me busy (and even if i didn't have, i have projects i find more interesting to work ATM since for me LIL is pretty much "done" and LILArt is something i work on an infrequent basis), progress is slow there. Regardless, i know some people who use LIL and i do not plan on breaking their code (intentionally, at least). Of course at the end of the day LIL is a simple library for a simple language, so it isn't very hard to keep things stable. I do work on a [bigger project](https://i.imgur.com/E6f7n39.png) though for a full toolkit and desktop environment which i hope i'll manage to keep stable, but if LIL is taking a bit of time to get to stable, VForms is most likely going to take years (and that is based on a [previous](http://runtimeterror.com/rep/lforms/wiki?name=Screenshots) toolkit i worked on, i just decided to expand its scope and features). I mean, i could fail, but i'm not writing from a position of not even trying :-P.

Hmm, can you make an example what that means? Here is one example that I tried: jshell> int i = 369424684 i ==> 369424684 jshell> 2 * i * i $10 ==> -1748156640 jshell> 2 * (i * i) $11 ==> -1748156640 In this case, the end result is the same. Are there cases where it isn't the same? Otherwise, I don't know what you mean by "making the overflow occur in the right place". Thanks! Here is an example where `2 * i` already overflows, still the same result: jshell> int i = 1477698736 i ==> 1477698736 jshell> 2 * i * i $21 ==> 2094264832 jshell> 2 * (i * i) $22 ==> 2094264832 jshell> 2 * i $23 ==> -1339569824 jshell> i * i $24 ==> -1100351232

You've got it - Trill's the single-node query processor. Larger systems like ASA, Halo, and the system behind Bing Ads all build on top of it, and part of what they build is the scalability infrastructure. Halo, for instance, uses a combination of Trill and Orleans, both OSS now. Of course - the technical details of our performance numbers can be found here, section 7.1 on page 9: http://www.vldb.org/pvldb/vol8/p401-chandramouli.pdf The choice of the name "Trill" predated my joining the team, so they had at least had these kinds of performance numbers a year or two before the published report. Hope that helps, and I'll do my best to answer anything else I can. Cheers, - James Terwilliger, Principal Dev, Microsoft

SQL Server has only been free for a relatively short amount of time while MySQL is the database that countless people learned on. And Oracle... hardly anybody chooses that to learn on unless their employer is already using it. Yes SQL Server is a better database (and maybe Oracle, I wouldn't know) than MySQL or PostgreSQL, but the latter are still good enough for many use cases.

For Googlers to launch stuff they have to show how they handle user data, providing a policy plus explaining how it gets removed when no longer needed per the terms of that policy. Projects won't launch if the data management doesn't make sense. There could be exceptions to that, but Googlers are users too, so they have an interest in keeping the company honest, and do, more so than may be visible externally.

>I find it hard to believe that you can find more DBAs that have MySQL and posgres experience over MS SQL and Oracle. Almost every startup in the valley is using MySQL. Facebook, YouTube, Uber. Even more use Postgres - Stripe, Pinterest, Instagram, Reddit. The only "startup" I know using MS SQL is Stackoverflow, and they are fully bought into the Windows ecosystem. I can't think of a single "startup" that would pay Oracle's exorbitant licensing fees - you'd be paying more for Oracle than you would be for your first 2 engineers, it would kill your company. There are far more MySQL and Postgres DBAs than MS SQL & Oracle in the valley. Facebook uses MySQL and very few companies reach Facebook scale, so its proven scalable. The only companies using MS SQL/Oracle today are ones that have been locked into MS/Oracle contracts from 10 years ago, or don't have highly technical leadership and have been sold the technology by bloodthirsty Oracle salesguys.

That's actually not the reason when the case is youtube. What actually happened is that Google proposed a whole bunch of stuff under the umbrella of "web components" and then went ahead and implemented that in Chrome. It went through the standards process and other browser makers gave feedback and made changes we finally ended up with the web component spec as it is now. This sounds like a happy story, but it's not. Because what happened next is that Google rolled out a redesign of youtube using the old deprecated, non-standard technology, that just by an *amazing coincidence* happened to be implemented natively in Chrome. Every other browser got served a javascript polyfill which is of course 1000x slower. Wow, what an unfortunate situation! The world's most popular video site, and one of the most popular sites in the world, full stop, redesigned itself to use non-standard technologies that give a huge performance boost to Chrome and fuck over every other browser. Chrome is, of course, dutifully removing the non-standard tech in a few months and I am sure that youtube will suddenly find the time to switch to the standard compliant tech, but how many people have switched to Chrome in the meantime? And because Chrome begs you to be the default browser every time you start it, they likely won't be going back. So no, it's not just Google developers not giving a crap about other browsers, which is a terrible excuse as it is. It's about Google putting non-standard tech on the world's most popular video site, that very conveniently works great in their own browser. Make of that what you will, but don't be completely naive about what is going on here.

It's a very bold claim, and it looks weaker and weaker each time. It's normal that websites will do weird things for workarounds. In this case adding a [secret div prevents focus from being taken on the video player](https://medium.com/@jeremy.noring/did-google-cripple-edges-youtube-performance-ce5169d3e5f4). Not Edge's fault, but IE's, which honestly isn't that far off. So really we can't say that the accusation has that much hold, there's a perfectly valid and reasonable expectation, also an explanation of why loosing IE/Edge isn't such a huge lose as people put it (Opera was probably worse). And honestly this isn't a problem in Chrome, or Firefox because, even though it's a weird edge case, it's a common one that is easy to optimize away (basically remove all fully transparent objects from *all* calculations related to graphics, so it's as if they were never there). Now it's true that most of Google's products work better on Chrome overall. Exceptions exist, that is there's things that simply work better on Firefox, but they are exceptions in the end. The reasoning is simple: whenever the chrome team makes changes, they verify they work well with Google products, and if any change breaks optimizations the team will learn promptly, this can happen with external products and their teams but the communication will be more limited. Whenever a Google product does changes it will test them on chrome, and verify it works well with Chrome to an extreme, they may also check on larger browsers, such as Firefox and IE, but smaller ones will probably only get validation testing, making sure the website works well enough but not checking if there was a small limitation. This sadly will keep being the case, but using open source shared libraries means that these optimizations and improvements will spread out to other browsers using it. MSFT simply realized that it was going to be a lot of effort to catch up, and even then they would only achieve parity, not really overtake. Google does a lot of fucked up stuff, but companies rarely if ever do things as explicitly as they did here. If things truly and fully went as they were described MSFT wouldn't have doubted in suing immediately, lawyers need to justify their high costs somehow. The thing about it is that large companies, their evil, is far more insidious and banal than this. There isn't a clear action that alone shows the guilt or evil, but instead it's the way a bunch of reasonable, well intended actions from many employees interact together. Things that seemed innocent at the moment, but in hindsight was a terrible idea.

> If Google hides content behind some kind of licensed, locked-down feature that they push through W3C standards, that still requires sites to opt-in by serving that feature with web servers supporting that feature. So they can just not adopt the feature and push back against bad features. If Google's engine has almost 100% market share, quite a few websites won't care, and will just use whatever new features Google adds. Once that happens, every remaining alternative engine is forced to support the feature as well, and pretty soon it's a new part of the web "standard".

Sequential lookup mean (or at least that's what I meant) you have to look at each element until you find it, ie not hashed. If I've understood it correctly newly added elements are not optimized for lookup at the time of insertion but rather but in a pool which is then dealt with as a batch job.

Former Google engineer here - this is spot-on. It’s common to have to find workarounds for browser issues. IIRC, Firefox’s WebGL implementation was either buggy or had poor performance, so Canvas was used for FF instead (maybe it was the other way around). Once these technical decisions are made it’s a lot of work to go back and check whether some esoteric rendering bug from Firefox 26 is still present. The web teams and Chrome teams don’t really collaborate (or conspire to screw over other browsers), beyond web teams yelling at Chrome teams to fix a bug or make something faster.

> You mean the same engines that all half-decent JS libraries target and work on? The same engines web developers have been building for for over a decade? What the heck does this even mean? I was pointing out that the developers would have to work with all three, rather than one. Nothing you just said disputes that that would be harder. Go look at all the differences between Blink and Trident. Go look at caniuse.com and tell me it wouldn't be an issue that doesn't exist when using one engine. > Browser security problems don't carry over unless you're stupid enough to pull in arbitrary arbitrary adtech code and run it in your application's process. This is just so ridiculous you must be trolling. There have been so many security holes that have existed over the years in web development, and they often are in functionality that is quite popular. > Yes. Do you know how to talk in a civil manner? I fail to understand how emphasizing words is uncivil. > You seem to be working from the unquestioned assumption that releasing half-assed bloatware is better than releasing no app. First of all, assuming all or even most Electron apps are half-assed bloatware is just lazy. Second, if customers really want an app, and the company only has the resources or money to do it in Electron or a derivative, it absolutely is better. Go tell your customer base who've been begging for an app that you aren't going to make it simply because the one you could make would be slower than a native application and , and then run like hell cause they'll be rioting before you finish. > Yes, and once again it's a benefit to the developer. The user doesn't care whether your app requires polyfills. They care whether it hammers their battery. This is such a simple concept man. The user doesn't care whether the app requires polyfills. The user cares *that the app exists*. The user cares *that the app is free*. The user cares *that the app is out now and not months from now*. Practically any benefit to the developer *is* a benefit to the user. Will a user realize your app uses slightly more battery? If it's not Facebook mobile bad, then no. Will they realize it doesn't exist, costs money, or won't be out for much longer? Hell yeah they will. This is just such a simple concept. > On what basis are you dismissing these actual measurements out of hand? Who do you think these users are? > Because the users you're thinking of aren't regular folks. Normal folks do most of their stuff on their phone these days, and just have an old desktop/notebook they bought years ago for the stuff their phone can't do yet. They aren't rocking i7s, 1TB SSDs and 16GB of RAM like the people who are writing these applications. Who do I think these users are? A completely unrepresentative sample, consisting in large part of micro pcs, htpcs, linux beaters, and a large majority of self-selected low resource users (given the fact that firefox works better on low resource devices). The average buy out of the store PC or laptop has had 4+ gb of ram for a long time. I know as of 2 years ago when I was last looking, there was not a windows pc in the entirety of best buy with less than 4gb of ram. As of a month ago, I struggled to find one with less than 6, and most had 8+. Believing this sample is representative would be like sampling only Internet Explorer 9 users and claiming Windows 7 + Vista + XP is still more popular than Windows 10. It's just nonsense.

So a former Microsoft Intern is going to lead a charge by against Google. Sure, kids, sure. Microsoft has tried for tangle their browser into the OS for decades now in order to fuck Netscape/Mozilla/Opera/Google all along the way so they could keep control of the standards org. Now the new generation has no knowledge of how things came to where they are now and keep trying to blame Google when Microsoft's gimmicks don't work. An empty div broke Edge's superior video playback over on Youtube? And it wasn't fixed in a week or two by MS? What?

On the other hand, did Google tell MS about the problem with Edge's video and give them a chance to fix it? Or did they just say, "Oh no, a browser implementation is broken again. Let's go back to user agent feature detection and further fragment the web." I also consider his appeal to standards as disingenuous. Chrome is built by inventing an API, rolling it out to all Google properties and calling it a standard after the fact.
