On GKE, the master nodes are provisioned behind-the-scenes. You get one free zonal master. The f1-micro would be the worker node. It's still a bit of a squeeze, because GKE has system workloads that need to run on user nodes.

Super nitpicky, but... sunrise and sunset are not equally distant from solar noon, because of the eccentricity of Earth's orbit around the Sun. Since the orbit is an ellipse, Kepler's law means that our orbital speed is constantl

One of the few takeaways I remember from my engineering ethics class is one way to think about the ethical implications of a tool: if you have a situation, and you introduce a tool, how do the possible outcomes of the situation change? For

I understand what you mean, but your GKE instances probably can be logged onto: `gcloud compute ssh --zone=<node-zone> <node-name>` Both COS and Ubuntu nodes are integrated with IAM, so this transparently provisions a user on th

I'm pretty sure that most uses of lambda don't involve creation of std::function (and thus dynamic allocation and virtual function calls). As long as you maintain the distinct type of the lambda, any captures (by reference or by v
