Re:Google's “Director of Engineering” Hiring Test (2016)

Are you implying that because you went through a couple of good interviews with them, and because one director who works at Google said that they don't hire this way, it doesn't happen?
That's the worst logic ever.
I'm blaming Google for doing this, and you take it to imply that I said you work at Google? Maybe you didn't accept those offers from Google. It still doesn't mean those things didn't happen at Google - and it is extremely shameful that you resort to defending them.
Congratulations, what you have done is just free PR for Google. I'd rather listen to everyone else than you.

Then you're most likely trolling everyone, by commenting that you know more about their processes than most outsiders do.
So stop right there and run back into your PR cave.

Yeah, try discrediting the article than fix your mistakes.
Real mature, Google.

Big Companies have management who cash in at the expense of young exploitable engineers.
Personally I'd like to see the top management get fired.

Re:JDK 9 modules voted down by EC

This is not a good thing.
They were finally getting to have a fully built out environment - which could lead to better end user packaging, stripping down a library to its bare essentials.
For instance: what have jpackage achieved for a distribution like RedHat? Does anyone's Java App even pick up these RPM based dependencies for Classpath? Heck no.
Every known large scale Java application pretty much bundles a bunch of JARs. (Probably not logstash - but only one exception)
It is very clear that JDK9 will not be as awesome as it was originally supposed to be. Deeply disappointed.
Re:Time to Dump Time Zones

I think the first thing to dump is the daylight savings time concept.
Then rebase the timezones based on UTC.
It won't help when you have a polar winter or a midnight summer - but at least it will remove unnecessary conversions.

I don't think some people realize the value of a hard day's night. I think it is completely fine to pretend they didn't exist.
And finally - I don't respect the rich and the meaningless kind that have been plaguing corporate America for years.

Hello All,I'm Karthik from GeoG. We wanted to use a serialization format that is close to JSON so that it would work well with JavaScript and various other languages.We wanted it to be compressed, not as GZIP or Snappy, but more like Protobuf or Avro. Except, we did not want a specification/RPC file for larger types beforehand - but give some leeway for user defined types.We have come up with a...

For AEAD, We'd most likely look at ChaCha20(Poly1305(Text)+Text) and I think that's a great idea. :)
We're definitely looking at non-NIST algorithms, we've just had enough of those.

Well, if you get the build process right. It takes some time for the setup, but I was able to Google it and get it right.
I use SBT, it works rather well, manages my dependencies right.

Yes - and I'd say WebSockets have been sucking the juice out of the DataCenter if your clients are mostly idling!
I'm not disagreeing with you here. Our point was that HTTP 2's features start doing amazing things after the first request, now that they have a connection going. Do read that we are excited about what it brings - just not for the very first request itself. And honestly, if they changed that, we'd be a happier lot.

If we don't support TLS, doesn't mean we don't care about E2E Encrypted Data, or E2H Encrypted Data, or Signed Data.
I do understand how the system works - and I've seen ISPs issue fake real certificates (which CA issues Google's certificate?) and I think sometimes, you just have to do it deeper, and yourself, if you have to do it right.

We've decided that HTTP/2 may not be a great fit at its present state, and here's why we thought so:
