Clock is better than LRU, but they still are both only good for certain access patterns (google "stack distance distribution"). A simple trick is to use clock, but randomize the order that you visit pages for eviction rather than going through them in order. This gives results similar to clock for access patterns tha...

Indeed, I do see your point and definitely sympathize with the position, all I'm trying to highlight is that Google is reasonably well behaved here. I think the core issue is that they've become so big that they have disproportional weight when it comes to web technologies. Was good talking indeed, you did highlight s...

>If Napster wasn't peer-to-peer but it did let you type the name of a song and then listen to it, it would have been just as popular. That Spolsky article is prescient for 2001, given that ten years later, Spotify, Rdio, etc., seem to be pretty popular for listening to music, and Netflix for watching movies.

True. However, sadly, while evolution doesn't give rise to *beautiful* solutions, it usually gives rise to *successful* ones. VB and PHP were steaming piles of shit, but they were vastly more successful in the marketplace than D or Haskell or the many variants of Lisp will ever be. Hence the mantra "worse is better"...

That point, which is contentious at best, is completely orthogonal to the original argument. Chrome is being used in the same way it was originally used, to push the envelop of the web. The V8 engine when it came out forced all browser makers to speed up along side, I call this an improvement.

Ah, I see. Looks like I may be wrong about considering it obvious that the empty function is constant. That's not surprising; I'm often wrong.

That would probably be a clarification you'd have to ask for in the interview. Presumably everyone (celebrity included) knows themselves. For the followup question to make any sense, you would need to clarify if celebrities know other celebrities or not. Otherwise, it's a paradox for there to be two celebrities.
