While experienced AI developers are starting to leave powerhouses like Google, OpenAI, Meta, and Microsoft, not enough are leaving to meet demand—and most of them will probably gravitate to startups rather than adding to the AI talent within established companies. Microsoft, Google, IBM, and OpenAI have offered more general indemnification.

There are several emerging data trends that will define the future of ETL in 2018. In 2018, we anticipate that ETL will either lose relevance or the ETL process will disintegrate and be consumed by new data architectures. To achieve this, organizations are utilizing distributed messaging system such as Apache Kafka.

After 20 years of neck-in-neck competition, often starting from common code lineages, there just isn't that much left to wring out of the system. Consistent improvement is the name of the game, and it can still have positive impacts, particularly as users lean on the system more heavily over time. Pointer Lock. Media Recorder.

Recall that Cupertino manages the actual work of Safari engineers through Apple-internal systems (previously named "Radar" ), making public bug reports a sort of parallel track; once an issue is imported from a public bug to a private tracker, it's more likely to get developer attention.

I work at Google, making Chrome, for Windows, focused on performance. As usual I had UIforETW running in the background, tracing to circular buffers, so I just had to type Ctrl+Win+R and the buffers, representing the last thirty seconds or so of system activity, were saved to disk. Well that’s funny …. But it’s not. Source code.

Tools and CI systems help them monitor progress & prevent regressions. Our metrics at Google show a conflicted picture (which I’m working to get to clarity on). Some systems show median RTTs near ~100ms for 3G users. Given the conflicted data we see across our other systems, this seems about right as a baseline.

On the other hand, we have hardware constraints on memory and CPU due to JavaScript parsing times (we’ll talk about them in detail later). Gatsby.js (React), Preact CLI , and PWA Starter Kit provide reasonable defaults for fast loading out of the box on average mobile hardware. But this consideration needs to be deliberate.
