Started down the path of using this when it was in beta, but had to abort when we saw there was no option to connect to it from Python App Engine Standard. Now that it's GA...it looks like that hasn't changed. Is the classic, Pyth

No - I wish they'd release fully baked features before starting new ones - i.e. there'd be nothing to halt. I realize it's not that simple, but, generally speaking - I do not see near the level of readiness/polish/d

I wish they would spend more time finishing the halfway done projects they've started (and fully documenting them), rather than continue to launch new ones. For instance...Google CloudSQL - Great! Postgres - Beta...Postgres from AppEng

Jealous of such an experience. In my undergrad experience in the early 2000s, when things such as distributed computing came up in the higher level classes, it came with no context. The professor basically handed out, "Time, Clocks, an

It seems pointless to me when people become "vegetarian" to opt out of the factory farming/animal cruelty machine...only to eat massive amounts of eggs and dairy.

Good point - permissioning issues like these are becoming really troublesome as well. "Facebook needs access to your photos so you can send a picture to your friend over our chat client" --> Grant access to all of your photos.

That's such a dead and boring meme. Honestly the attacks I always see on Java (such as this one) always come off as completely naive. The amount of open source big data projects, and large profits and companies relying on Java technolo

Not sure how to respond. Marketing in the 30s was limited to broadcast based approaches. You were not able to reach out to an individual, much less one you have even close to as much information about as is available today.

Good for Apple. Marketing in the 2000s/'10s has really turned disgusting. Whereas many moons ago marketing was just about giving your brand an image, and making people aware of it - it has now turned into an all out psychological

imho this isn't specific to HN, Reddit is plagued by "downvote to disagree." Downvoting should be for, as you said, flagging aggressive, off-topic comments. I've really lost interest in commenting on reddit, because if y

It doesn't if you need to manage atomic data across the processes, as there's no way to lock and block the other cache consumers (think the data you need to handle cache evictions, etc.) Also, you're describing multiple pytho
