Actually all the professors in COC can afford them because they got paid very well(Full professors in COC has 200k+)

Comparing Chinese tech companies with Google here feels like comparing apples and oranges and also "Chinese tech companies" is too big a entity to be compared with a single company. But scenes at Yahoo/Reddit/Baidu and other smaller ads-driven companies aren't pretty

I recently posted a Ask HN asking about the effect of how drop in ads money would affect Google/FB and someone did a quick and dirty analysis for their runway: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22884042

Human trimming kit is sold out too

Nitendo Switch is sold out across the world partially thanks to animal crossing.

Just curious if Google has suffered similar level of revenue damage. If so it would be really bad since they got a hundred thousand people on paycheck.

Code search is a great tool! It really helps with productivity! But sometimes it is very easy to go down the rabbit hole.

I wonder if they can open source code search itself.

I don't know the state of it, but Kythe is open source: https://kythe.io/

But in reality you probably want something more like SourceGraph which packages everything up nicely so that you don't need to worry about it, or something more specialized.

Bringing up kythe from scratch is very daunting. First thing I did when I left google, of course, but still really hard.

What did you use for a UI?

That's one of the main problems. I started with the demo frontend that comes in the box and just hacked on that. I'm no UI developer by any stretch.

Try TreeTide

cs.opensource.google runs on Google's search infrastructure, so it's unlikely to be open sourced. https://github.com/google/zoekt is open source, but lacks cross-referencing, and has a more spartan UI.

Now the site get's error 500
