I started using an ipad with the Smart Keyboard and pencil to replace a lot of the things i usually use a laptop for (basic web surfing, reading). I could see this being useful if it had a keyboard cover and a Bluetooth stylus. I’m sure som

When I've had to do similar, the easiest and fastest way has always been install spark -> Create an external spark sql table from the csvs -> use spark sql to join and aggregate/write. If you haven't used spark before i

In my view it’s a good example of why the manual labeling is flawed as CNN regularly criticizes progressives and airs republican views that TYT then responds to and criticizes CNN for. To categorize them both as “Partisan Left Focused on po

Difficult to take this analysis seriously when CNN is categorized with The Young Turks as “Partisan Left.” Regardless of what you think of either channel the programming of these two channels is dramatically different. The fact that the tag

Actually it's based on this data on mobile services cost: http://www.itu.int/ITU-D/ict/ipb/ I included the data from 2011 because it includes mobile services cost whereas the other is newer but on data c

Exaggerating, sure. But, the general point is accurate especially when looking at cost relative to income: https://media.economist.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/o... More recent: https://

Making operations google’s problem is precisely what drives BigQuery, FaaS and Dataflow adoption. Its operationally safer when you dont need a hadoop team to maintain your data infrastructure. See Nytimes, Twitter and Spotify for examples.

You wouldnt mention jaeger or istio either to decision makers. You would say we can cut operational costs and modernize big data infrastructure while making our data warehouse more accessible(BigQuery). We can save money when APIs arent bei

BigQuery is by far their killer app. Every place Ive interviewed for or worked with that uses GCP uses it mainly for BigQuery. Dataflow and Cloud Run are likely to be up there soon.

Ive never been interested in Azure until now and Ive heard CosmosDB, their FaaS product, and their client libraries are all pretty nice. If their docs, client libs and cli tools are all as nice as GCP I will have to switch. I dunno if they

Its kind of ridiculous that this is the moment in time they decided to pull the plug. It feels like they leaked this to ensure they could get out of cloud by 2024. GCP cloud skills/certs have just started becoming marketable. Only re

Cloud Dataflow is also vastly more expensive than using pyspark and Apache Beam is 10 times slower for most operations than Flink or Spark. I have to try the new flexible scheduling but DataFlow the last time I tried it 2 years ago was a ma

This is insane, GCP has been a great experience for me and I have even been working on getting their certs now because I like working with it that much despite them currently being worthless. Its crazy that they would even consider closing

I have been looking for something exactly like this, but I use GCP not AWS. Is there a way to deploy outside of AWS? What would be involved in getting it to work with a different cloud?

Reading HN The wealth of knowledge, experience and advice here is pretty unique. I always learn some new way to think about a problem or new actionable things to try every time I come here.

I’ve seen a few of these RPi clusters (obviously none this big), I think the main reason people make them is to demo distributed systems or build a homelab cluster(sometimes they will argue its cause of the power efficiency). Also they are

So I have a bad history with Cloud Dataflow. I like BigQuery and Flink a lot, but a lot of companies seem to be switching over to Cloud Dataflow. In my experience Cloud Dataflow's cost is really unpredictable and DataPrep's pipeli
