anecdote: my SaaS has about 50 customers, 2 of which are from Romania. That's quite a high representation!

I dev on a windows box, and deploy to ubuntu servers running on gcloud. I am very excited by this news! right now my initial deploy+vm provisioning scripts are written in windows .cmd scripts, only because it means I don't have to hav

My first real job was a DBA at Microsoft, on a very large marketing database (aprox 1.5TB in 2000) That experience, how much work is required for "real" production databases, led a bad taste in my mouth. I stay away from self-hos

cool, thanks for the extra details. maybe they are using ipv6 for a portion of the internal infrastructure and the OP extrapolated that to mean they use it everywhere internally.

Here's a scenario: You write a library that uses Promises, and use bluebird.d.ts for that definition. For someone to use your library, they will have to download bluebird.d.ts manually and include it. if you (the lib dev) include it

thanks for the link. I'm partially aware of typings, but too into my own implementation right now to consider switching fro definitely typed. I'll give it a try and pray it actually can let me ship an OSS project!

as a GCloud user I've never seen any mention of IPv6. That's the main reason i've not bothered trying to get on the ipv6 bandwagon. I don't want to strugle through it if my hosting provider doesn't even support it

I love Typescript, I do all my javascript coding via it. However, Though I wish it were, Typescript is NOT currently suitable for defining modules for external consumption. The problem comes down to no effective means of publishing

agreed. And actually for me, the pictures are nearly indistinguishable from what I've seen in India and Thailand. nothing shocking about minimalist infrastructure in a 3rd world country unless you have never been out of the 1st worl

multifunction printers are great, if you scam the scammers. I got an epson all-in-one (WF-3640) and bought a continuous ink system off amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OIC1MAS?psc=1&redirect=t... w

right, and then you get listed the locations of 20 books on 20 shelves scattered around the library. Extremely fatiguing and time consuming if you want to skim a couple.

my anecdote: I have seen a huge difference in ability (of developers). I think it's more due to geopolitical differences though, not just education.

I'm a frequent library user, and this may be fine for certain types of collections (where you look for very specific books) but is terrible for general use, as you are removing the ability to search by topic.

no, just the gcloud-node (npm) module and a home-rolled orm. objectify looks interesting! but I'm a nodejs user, not java.

I guess I'm stupid then, because I spent more than an hour trying to figure an easy way to add these to my auto-provisioned servers before giving up and using the static cert instead.

i just finished implementing a similar pattern: atomic-cache (cache+eventually consistent modifications) and while it's debatable whether the pattern belongs in your "database" layer or "app" layer, you certainly

I think you are underestimating the cognitive burden this added complexity puts on your ops person (maybe yourself) I know for me, it was a choice between farting around with lets-encrypt for hours, or a $40 wildcard cert. so I went with

The code I wrote is Typescript (ES6 with typings), I am using the ES6 class style React Components. you are using the lambda style components which is fine for simple stuff but for heavier stuff the class-style components are needed. also
