I think you would want to combine an open source toolset with a paid service with trained monkeys to bridge the gap. For instance let's say I send a draft out, and receive a PDF markup back. The trained monkey would make sure that the new version is accurately reflected in the repo. As long as I am working natively, then exporting my response back into whatever lame format is desired will be trivial. It's a bridge to a better world and more elegant system.
I don't think you would understand how hard it is to speak, as someone with real world experience, about small-town Oklahoma unless you have lived in small-town Oklahoma... its a special kind of place. And special in this context isnt a compliment.
We've been using AWS since nearly the day it was released. Overall I really like it, but I haven't dived deep into the GC platform so I cannot really give a definitive comparison.

A couple of things that baffle me about AWS though -

* You can purchase reserved instances from anywhere in the world in a few seconds, but WHY when I want to on sell an unused reserved instance in the marketplace, do I HAVE to have a US bank account for Amazon to pay my revenues into?? Why can they just not credit my existing account which I pay thousands per month to them?

* We still battle with occasional high latency spikes for EC2 instances talking to RDS instances within the same VPC! Continuous "MySQL server has gone away" log messages. Ironically, we have absolutely no trouble with Non-VPC EC2 instances that use classic bridging to talk to the same RDS server within the VPC!

We thought to simplify our architecture by putting everything in one VPC for better security and ease of maintenance, but had to go back to a cobbled half and half solution to maintain performance. Hence why we now have a few reserved 'VPC only' instances which we cannot recoup costs by onselling in the marketplace... :(
What advantage is there to Atom or Vscode over vim/neovim? (Honestly curious. I can see why people might prefer it to notepad, but if you're already a vim user..?)
That would be outrageous... if it were true.

There is no yummy when you npm install express and even if there were, the code shown would certainly not like a tweet as the POST is not authenticated.

And the author has described himself as "JavaScript clickbait enthusiast."

A joke? Bad one?
While it would be nice to see Servo take off and kick butt, it's generally also more wasteful to square wave the funding than increasing funding gradually, thanks to code churn and architectural learning that occurs in the course of a project. It's not just that you can't cook a baby faster by hiring more chefs. Any code written before Rust 1.0 got frozen had an extra work factor applied to its expected future maintenance cost, as does any that relies on some architectural decision that they later discover needs to be modified, and also new hires are going to be more inefficient for longer when you have a larger proportion of them.
Just knocked this out after reading this question (using an open source tool developed as a Show HN project called https://www.hellobox.co ):

I hope it catches on.

Others have tried and they don't get enough traffic to get it to take off but since low levels of hosting are free, I could just keep it out there for a long time.

This would be a fantastic opportunity to design and operate an implementation of OStatus, and run a service designed from the ground up to federate, not separate - https://www.w3.org/community/ostatus/
But to be fair, Portland _is_ trying. Every hole in the ground, is a mid-level apartment building going up. Yeah it's changing rapidly here and prices have risen. Still, you have to give the city some props for trying very hard to deal with it.

Unlike San Fransisco that doesn't drastically try to increase inventory.

I tried it as a daily driver v.s. conEmu. I want it to work but, right now, it is not ready. Like Java 8 hangs, Android SDK tools don't install easily etc.. I will keep an eye on it and use it as soon as it works for my daily needs.
Why do you think the abstraction layer is too complex? I found terraform was essentially designed with AWS as a first-class citizen (if not for AWS in the first place), which means everything maps really well.

I strongly dislike HCL, but that's essentially what it is - templated JSON.

I wish compose.io would flush out their product line on DO, GCE and Azure... If you're mainly wanting PostgreSQL, database labs will support custom deployments, should be able to get it on GCE.

Along similar lines, I really find Azure SQL tempting to use as well, may test the latency from DO's SFO location to Azure's West US.

In computer science, there are a few big conferences in a specific CS discipline, I usually attend those conference or look at their programs. But, computer science is a unique field in which papers are funneled through conferences.
This, a million times this. Ansible, Chef, Puppet, cfengine and a bunch of others serve certain use cases. Unfortunately, once you give someone a tool it quickly turns into a hammer, then a jackhammer, a crowbar, sonic screwdriver, fork lift and a lot more.

I've seen Puppet used as replacements for simple bash scripts, more complete management of a host (this is what I would consider config management), deployment tools and distributed consensus.
I think it's probably more important that it's aimed at being effective than that it is genuinely being effective.

While the response that GP got was wrong on my levels, what was done to that gifted kid was no favor either.

Anecdote warning: I've seen very few kids who skip more than a grade (if that) who have the ability to relate and function among peers well. They're not generally going to be accepted as a peer at that age by kids a couple-few years older than them - and for many, school is where that skill is learned.
In AI, all the important publications are posted on arxiv first. If a paper is sent to a journal before arxiv, it is clear the authors believe their paper is not significant enough to alert the community.

The publishing culture from the life sciences is toxic and will be avoided by the AI community.
This is one area I think Azure does shine... Azure's storage tables, blob and queues are dead simple and inexpensive to work with, and Azure SQL is priced better than any cloud db competitor.

On another note, do you have any books or readings you'd recommend on moral relativism (?) or whatever your worldview is called? I imagine you came to this conclusion after a lot of thought and life experience, but is there anyone or anything you read or listened to that you'd recommend?

The author's experiences are fairly horrific, and they stem from their workplace's misunderstanding of what config management tools are for and how to deploy them properly.

The key quote is this:

Success is continuous, not binary. Clearly Jerry Yang is very successful, but he's not as successful as Mark Zuckerberg.

I that grant was for Channels integration, which has been postponed until at least the next release.
And there is some strange behaviour with the keys. Actually using LXSS become far lees powerfull to the users of Conemu thanks to this. Vim and NeoVim does weird things with the arrows, on mc I can't navigate on the filesytem with the cursors, and htop does weird things.
As other commenters has said it's not that obvious.

I suspect it's more that sleep is a necessary requirement for consciousness, but it's not clear why. Maybe recalculating weights for the neural net based on new input data requires 'downtime'.

There was some earlier evidence that 'cleanup' is happening the brain or some chemical pathways were being reversed. Either way behavioral speculation based on evolution isn't very good science.

Ah, interesting. I'm familiar with some of the historical land trusts (Fairhope, Arden), but not the contemporary ones... I really need to learn more.

Which is really unfortunate.

I can't blame Microsoft for it, but the app-gap between WP/WinMo 10 and Android is getting untenable for me. I'm thinking about switching back, not because I think Android is better (I don't think it is at all), but simply because I'm starting to feel left out when all my family and friends are using, e.g., SnapChat to keep in touch and I...can't.

It particularly riles me up that there were perfectly functional third-party Windows Phone Snapchat apps, but Snapchat demanded that they be removed and still (evidently) declined to make a WP app.

Not to pick on Snapchat, it's not an uncommon story.

If I could even just download the Snapchat APK and sideload it on my Windows phone, that'd be enough for me. But I can't, since Astoria got killed.
It shouldn't be any worse than learning Japanese. May not be as easy as Mayan; I've heard those guys try to teach Mayan to anyone who will stand still long enough.

I've seen textbooks on Babylonian and Assyrian on Amazon, although I have no idea if they're any good. Any university with a Middle Eastern archaeology program might have an occasional class. You might check with /r/askahistorian on Reddit.

And yes, I think I've seen a translation of a largish tablet published by an amateur translator who learned on his own.

It looks like they're using a metro region. If you take a look at their "county crosswalk" [1] data that might give more information about it. For example NYC is "MetroRegionID_Zillow" 394913 that has a corresponding "RegionID" in the price to income dataset.

I think they all tend to be a little like that... I'm thinking compose.io is in a good position to offer dbaas on the various cloud solutions, docker cloud for app management...

Could be the best of both worlds there... gitlab's work for CI/CD is interesting as well.
I think the purpose of this device is to provide context to the problem. If you are about to provide the scientific explanation for something all of us experience every day "Why do things fall down" / "Why is sugar sweet" it helps to take a step back and remind the reader that there is a scientific explanation for the phenomenon they are so familiar with (so much so that it feels unnatural to even question it in the first place).
Making a case for letter case
This summarizes the post:

> Why the fuck are build/ops folks making decisions about how the application should be deployed and configured?

The answer is really easy -- the build/ops team is configuring, deploying and running the application.

Config tools aren't perfect, but they are better than the old school manual configuration or letting individual developers cook up special snowflakes to do things the "right". Way.

You should be using as close to one configuration management tool as possible, and as a developer, you should learn how that tool works.
True. I read about parts of that history on Groklaw as those later events unfolded. For a while there, IIRC, based on what I was reading then, it looked like they might have nearly succeeded. Good that it didn't happen. IIRC, parts of the industry rose up together against it, also individuals. Don't know the full details.

> Do Google's core products actually run on GCP these days? I was under the impression they do not.

Not really. They are influenced by, but the same, code as runs Google. (for instance, Kubernetes is based on Borg)
I have some strong ideas about what's wrong w current tools. I would love to work on this as a side project but I think it needs to stay non-proprietary if it's going to be any different from current, reasonably usable enterprise tools.
I suspect that might be conemu, and compatibility thereof. Specifically, running the bog-standard bash prompt (with conhost.exe) makes this a no-repro; all keys / arrows works in MC & htop
Anecdotal: a friend of a friend, of Middle Eastern origin, had a gun shown to him at a gas station in some town in Texas, followed by "you do not belong here."

Plenty of people take longer than four years due to reasons that would qualify them for protection from discrimination under the ADA. And as others have noted, asking about this can also be construed as a roundabout way of discriminating on the basis of age. Sensitive (and smart) hiring managers would probably not probe that area too deeply.

And honestly, I question the predictive value to job performance of this data point in the first place. I would hope most people wouldn't get hung up on it. There are many more valuable data points to examine.
I spent a couple of decades being a die hard Linux fanatic, and contributor to many parts. The amount of work being done is incredible. But I'd have to say that I've become over time increasingly annoyed by the vast duplication of effort, pointless wheel reinvention and pointless scrapping of perfectly good code just because someone wanted to rewrite it rather than carefully refactor it. Looking at the long term effects over the last 20 years, a lot of that work was utterly pointless and detrimental; my patches to fix the GNOME canvas were ignored in the bug tracker for over a decade before it was closed--meanwhile they wrote in parallel over six replacements, all of which are now dead and none of which improved the canonical (and now also dead) implementation! All the power management and hardware abstraction stuff has gone through multiple rewrites from scratch, and with little thought to backward compatibility. This is not to denigrate the effort people put in, but effort needs to be directed effectively or else it is ultimately wasted. The success of Linux has lead to a disturbing amount of NIH attitudes--we're so big we don't need to care about compatibility and interoperability--foolishly forgetting that these things are what caused the original adoption of Linux, being compatible with everything under the sun was it's big selling point.

In the case of Btrfs it's a laudable effort, but has yet to approach production readiness in an awfully long time. Even if the licences are incompatible, the on-disk structures of ZFS could have been used to create a compatible implementation.

So I'm afraid I'm increasingly using other systems such as FreeBSD (with ZFS) and leaving Linux behind somewhat. Ultimately open systems, open standards and free software and software freedom are more important than a single implementation.

The argument in the original article against VPC sounded more like "it's confusing, so it's not worthwhile." VPC is confusing if you don't understand basic networking, but most people can pick it up, and people coming from a physical datacenter, moving to the cloud, will get it almost immediately.
You should take a look at https://bosh.io/ . It does what you want wrt devs being responsible for defining how the software runs, environment reproducibility, etc. Unfortunately, the learning curve is pretty steep.
Don't give up too soon.

I do appreciate your response, and trust that I'm smiling when I write this without any contempt: when do I get to give up? I'd say I gave it a more fair shot than most. Maybe it's $DEITY's turn to pick some of the slack. :-)

From my wall of text, one might conclude that I did, indeed, give it a fair and sincere shot. And I came to a different conclusion that you appear to have. No worries, I'm fine with that, we all make our own journey. I've enjoyed mine, and I hope you enjoy yours.

Use a script to build a container; once deployed, never touch it again. Of you need a new config, build be container, roll the old version out.
Fabric is a good example of config management as code. While all the app-specific configs are much easier to do this way, it feels like many other tasks (install packages, create users, etc) could be "outsourced" to some sort of shared recipe. So I guess it depends on how "custom" your deploy and configs are. If you're doing something standard, ansible/chef could be a good fit, less so if there are many tweaks etc.

If anyone is interested in pursuing fabric for their config+deploy, check out these libraries of higher-level system functions: https://github.com/sebastien/cuisine or https://github.com/ronnix/fabtools
When tool implementations fail, it's usually because the business process wasn't well defined.

My first gig was as a DBA at a place with a really good UNIX culture. They had a framework of scripts that documented and automated many tasks.

In the process, those scripts morphed into something like puppet. It's sort of a maturity curve -- as you institutionalize more automation, you start to need the "meta features" and complexity that the configuration management tools provide.
You're again talking about unimplemented morals, which vary person to person, while Im talking about ways to describe actual law. A copywritten work cant be legally shared, displayed, or so on without permission of the owner. The laws have exceptions like fair use, first sale doctrine on individual copies, or libraries loaning them out. Past that, your claims of morals have no practical meaning in a country that enforces the opposite.

Such morals should instead incite those who possess them to act as a democracy to reform the complex and corrupt system. Like we did fighting thjngs like SOPA. So far, almost no action toward elected officials backing up alternatives you suggest people want while they put strong effort onto other issues. I think this means majority of the US just doesnt care that much. And quite a few oppose us hoping to be next to get rich with a monopoly or maintain good portfolios.

Agreed. And this isn't the first Google interface that I find completely unintuitive. My first foray into the Google docs was trying to get oauth working. The developer console is confusing and not laid out well. Documentation can sometimes point you in one direction, only to realize you're about to implement something that will be end-of-life in months.

AWS Console is not perfect, but IMO, it's much more clear where I need to go to find things, even without reading a single piece of documentation. And I've rarely had issues with AWS documentation not being clear and correct.
Honestly I use the app-gap as a feature. Not having the fluff is great because snapchat is making people illiterate. We went from real words to abbreviations to no words and minimal attention span.

On the other hand now that Uber and bank of america have a universal app it feels more complete.
Oops yes you are correct.

My original point still applies though.
