Looking at the “metrics” they shared, going from committing just about zero code over the last two years to more than zero in the past two months may be a 10x improvement. I haven’t seen any evidence more experienced developers see anywhere near that speedup.
"Experimental support for using client certificates from the OS certificate store can be enabled on macOS by setting the preference security.osclientcerts.autoload to true."
This allows Firefox to work with my company's BeyondCorp implementation. I was forced to use Chrome before.
Enterprise root certs are different from client certs even if some (perhaps many or most) client certs were signed by an enterprise root. A client cert is about providing identity information/proofs (instead of or in addition to traditional credentials). I hope mozilla isn't conflating the two though I can see how they might decide that turning on one thing gets you the other as well.
That's possible, but the certs expire very quickly and they only offer access to a tiny subset of resources. You'd be constantly exporting & importing certs.
Anecdotally, standing for half the day has helped my hemorrhoids. Not sure if they were caused by sitting for 8+ hours a day in a desk chair, but not sitting definitely helps. Not something I brag about though :)
We're doing some pretty neat things in the virtualization/datacenter management space (converged infrastructure management). We've got a distributed, scalable backend written in Erlang and Python, fronted by a single-page application written using Coffeescript using Node.js and Backbone. We have some marquee customers already and are looking to grow significantly this year.
On the technical side we're looking for developers to work on the product (frontend and backend) as well as develop an expansive automated test suite. We're currently a small team and want to hire people like ourselves: smart, motivated individuals who enjoy the challenge of growing a company.
In additional to technical folks we're also looking for the following:
* Account Executives
* Sales Engineering
* Marketing manager
* Account Management/Support

Unless you never make changes to your software, development time is as continuous as run time. As someone pointed out below, the fact that Google finds value in Go seems to point to there being enough of a cost in development time that they're willing to sacrifice run time to reduce it.
That said, what makes sense for Google doesn't necessarily make sense for the rest of us.
Yeah, as I said it depends on how long the code ends up running. For sections of the code that you end up changing all the time you'll have a much higher proportion of developer time to "running core" time, so you obviously can reduce costs more on the productivity side. But there's no simple, 300-cores-per-developer math for it.
Generally I'd say it depends on the component. There are tons of components that never change, at least in my apps. Splitting them off and moving them to java or C++ provides gigantic gains.
In practice, I think a lot of programmers simply don't know how to call C/C++ from python, even though it has become so much easier since ctypes. Thus doing this is derided as a waste of time, dangerous and whatever. You'll soon see that doing this has other advantages (like type safety).
Just to add more fuel to the bike vs car fire: Did anyone else catch that the driver was driving with a revoked license? [1] Clearly he shouldn't have been operating a vehicle and probably had a history of dangerous driving. But hey, this is America, we gotta drive.
