Project name: rclone - http://rclone.org

Project description: rsync for cloud storage

rclone aims to be an easy to use command line tool for transferring files to and from cloud storage systems. It currently support S3, Google Drive, Amazon Drive, Backblaze B2, Dropbox, Swift amongst others!

What do you hope to build this month?

Another month - another release - see the v1.34 milestone! I'd really like some help fixing some of the small bugs and features. The project is popular enough that it is using up all my hacking time and I'm not quite keeping up!

What kind of skills do you need?

* Go (golang) is useful since rclone is written in it, though if you know C/C++ you'll pick up Go in no time at all.

* An interest in cloud storage systems in general (or one in the list of supported systems) would be good.

Check out the github: https://github.com/ncw/rclone/ - look at https://github.com/ncw/rclone/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md and pick an issue that interests you. Feel free to email me if you want more info ( nick@craig-wood.com ), or write on an issue if you are interested.

rclone is MIT licensed.

Any help most appreciated no matter how small!

Thanks

The challenge here, for Facebook team, is to make this tool great at the same time it does not disturb users. I wouldn't like too see photos of old stuff being sell on my timeline.

Usually, when a software evolve trying to do everything, at the end it does do nothing well. Let's see what'll happen here.
I wonder how they will compete with local sites.
In Sweden most people I know use blocket.se and in Norway they use finn.no and I guess most countries/locales have their own sites like this.

C portability is not portability in the Java or Python sense. It's portability across architectures, and undefined (and implementation-defined) behavior is a powerful tool for that.
> Python does that

So do Ruby or Erlang. The problem, of course, is that it has a cost: trivial arithmetic operations have to be checked and may need to allocate.

And operational coverage can be spotty outside of the trivial range e.g. when you give a bignum to an "integer" operation going through FPN, bad things can happen as said FPN are generally machine doubles (fp64)

As the other reply says, that doesn't help because it never gets that far.

To my mind the article you link has the wrong premise, because I do make my data tests that way - I assert that the data is exactly what I expected. Surprise changes to data would be bad, as would surprise changes to state.

Fig: Invest in upcoming games as a non-accredited investor
Event sourcing isn't nearly as common knowledge among new programmers as the CRUD-one-row-per-entity pattern, and it really should be. I liken it to introducing version control for your data; when immutable updates are your canonical source, no matter how much the system behind them changes, or the business requirements change, and no matter how many teams are deriving different things from them in parallel, they can all work off of the same data and "merge" their efforts together.

The one downside is that shifting your business logic to read-time means that you need to have very efficient ways of accessing and memoizing derived data. For some applications, this can be as simple as having the correct database indices over your WhateverUpdates tables, fetching all updates into memory and merging on each request. For others, you'll need to have a real-time stream processing pipeline to preemptively get your derived data into the right shape into a cache. And those are more moving parts than your typical monolith app, but the

One benefit to actually using event sourcing with a stream processing system is that, in many cases, it can be the most effective way to scale both traffic capacity and organizational bandwidth, much in the same way that individually scalable microservices can (and fully compatible with that approach!). Martin Kleppman at Confluent (a LinkedIn spinoff creating and consulting on stream processing systems) writes some great and highly-approachable articles about this. Highly recommended reading.

On the contrary, more reason for income inequality. If we are concerned for the future population, that low-time preference people with good impulse control are payed more shouldn't trouble us.

Whence come this desire to destructively level everyone?
They definitely have sales roles in more recent years and have a sales ops team [1][2][3]. The Federal channel manager description even acknowledges that there's unique challenges in selling to the government that necessitates someone that knows the different contracting vehicles. What they've done with little turn to sales culture is pretty admirable but at the same time only possible with organic, engineer-to-engineer driven growth Github and Atlassian suites.

Salesforce grew somewhat similarly via rogue accounts on expense accounts, but to actually clinch the biggest growth there was no way to avoid salespeople to get over $500MM in revenue probably.

You don't need to be a cloud expert to start with GCE or EC2 instead of a VPS provider. If you end up just going straight to GCE instead of a droplet that's not a big mental hurdle. Then as the parent said, if you suddenly need to scale up, bolt on other services (like say GCS or Cloud SQL) you're not starting with a migration.

You will spend more than $5/month on either AWS or GCP, but the example here seems focused on a business not a throwaway. So IMO, it is more like premature optimization to have a $5/month droplet instead of a $30/month set of GCE instances.

The Myth of Extreme Longevity
Coming soon too: a diff view between two versions. Visual Studio is also coming soon, thanks to some help from Microsoft. The main holdback is the windows part of everything...(isn't it always!)
I use the tools daily and the number of "invasive ads" is commensurate with what I saw in OSX.

And I'd use Linux for my desktop OS if it was at all suited to running on modern laptop hardware with:

1. Good battery life. Within 5% of what the targetted OS can deliver.

2. Good external display support (at least as good as windows, you plug it in and your projector/external monitor/video capture device works).

3. Good support for the common high density displays that laptops bundle now.

4. Without substantial configuration effort and the promise that my computer will NEVER brick its own update mechanism because it can't be bothered to sweep year old kernel images.

And having just tried AGAIN (again again again again x10) to get a Linux laptop working on 2 year old hardware *marketed as designed for linux, it failed.

I don't really care what excuses everyone offers. These are entirely reasonable requests and for most hardware, no desktop Linux will meet them without radically lowering your standards.

So yeah, I have to pay more for a competent experience. Too bad the Linux world refuses to deliver a free one, but I suppose that's because it's lots of effort.
Most employment contracts do not consider loyalty. Typically, either side has the explicit right to terminate the relationship at any time, for any reason.
I think his strategy can work, but the catch is you need some charisma and to persevere over a number of years, which are both harder than they look. Therefore take a hard look at yourself beforehand.
I think you guys should really take a look at the scenarios people are using lambda for and show how those map to appengine, cloud functions, and even endpoints, because they all more than make up for lambda's functionality.

"Agent Engineer" sounds like something from Person Of Interest, but actually you'll own our lean, mean data collection agent.

If you enjoy constantly getting to play with new tools, come help us connect to... everything.

We offer the equity, influence, and fun of an early-stage company, with stability, great pay, and a low-stress culture. We have great backers, strong traction, and an 11-digit target market. I've built half a dozen startups, including Writely (aka Google Docs), and I can honestly say this is my favorite so far.

Doesn't software also have some regulations depending on usage? Also, you can't say DDos a website or infringe copyright of code, there are still laws and regulation. Of course, relative to other industries it's much less.
Indeed. The post begins with a question and asserts that the reader doesn't know the answer. I knew the correct answer instinctively and I haven't written any C in anger in years. Expecting a C compiler to promote expression operands prior to assignment because the output location is a larger size... that's just not the mentality C programmers develop; what if the output is smaller? Should all the expression operands be demoted automatically, producing radically different results as large numbers get truncated prior to evaluation? No. Obviously not. That sort of thing is self-evident to a competent C programmer.
