GCP volumes are over network already. You can deploy stateful workloads using StatefulSets. We've run an HBase workloads for development purposes (about 20-30x cheaper than BigTable) and it worked great (no issues for over 12 months).

I'm not suggesting that it's replacing every use-case for email. But likely 90+% of internal communication within companies that use it. I've experienced this both in my previous large corp (20K+) job as well as my startup (&

Email is being replaced by Slack. Maybe RSS / Atom weren't good enough, but what they're being replaced with isn't better either. It's not just about RSS. It's about moving off open standards to closed properti

Mesos was great. It was a much cleaner, flexible separation of concerns. Too bad Mesosphere killed it.

I understand the monopoly concern, but disagree with the title. Somehow the fact that a company got rich by using your data is the problem and most important aspect to put in the title, not the monopoly?

This looks like a lot of work for something that could probably easily get done with a simple docker container. It's probably a great exercise and example for Nix, but otherwise, looks like a "nix hammer" thing. Statistical R

Whenever the engineering support steps in, the problem gets solved fast or the issue gets acknowledged. However, over the last 15 months, ~50% of times our GCP support cases end up in frustration with no resolution. We have more success fin

We were using Alpine Docker images. Every few months the docker build would fail with some random glibc / musl glibc-compat new issue. The docker file is full of comments like the following: # libc6-compat needed by outdated grpc-tools

Some team in my old job use to have a term for this - "grabbing the virtual chicken". It was essentially a giant distributed lock :)

It will likely conflict most in-progress PR. For PRs that are large and long lived it will be a PITA to maintain and will further slow integration so, likely, yes.

GDPR weaponizing privacy-oriented companies and the ability of the EU to walk the GDPR talk (as opposed to simply producing legislation) is going to be an interesting development to watch.

When you say open-source it's rather general. I.e. not open-source software or hardware, so it does imply it's open-source both (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_hardware not "open hardware

My pet-peeve is technical documentation that is not versioned with the code. I think you're confusing garbage-in / garbage-out or interface rendering with auto-"generated" documentation. Just like you can write bad code,

I wonder how / if Bazel will integrate wit Google Cloud Build. IMO that should be an end goal for a tool like Bazel. At a first glance, they are (highly) incompatible. 1. Bazel's statefulness is a core feature while GCB is statele
