This article from 2016 has good figures. Not much changed since then but could use a refresh with the newer instance types. https://thehftguy.com/2016/11/18/google-cloud-is-50-cheaper-... The basic instance n

Could you elaborate on what issues you encountered? I may have to do that for a F50 soon enough. Will probably get the same problems, if any.

That used to be the market for AWS. Entice tech startups to use AWS and reap huge benefits as they grow to larger companies and the occasional unicorn.

GCP is half the costs of AWS. Azure is more expensive than both but I don't have enough experience with it to judge exactly by how much. Any report comparing the 3 purely based on revenues should be taken as a joke.

Wordpress sites are easily done without any development work. There are many platforms providing ready to use wordpress sites, with nice themes and common needs covered. It is not targeted toward developers at all. Comparing wordpress and d

It's half of that. On the chart "Salary and Experience by Language", people doing functional languages have much more experience. The other half is location. There are only few functional programming jobs, highly skewed towar

People opposed to intelligence work wouldn't apply for a job doing just that and requiring a secret clearance.

It's a questionnaire to get a security clearance in the US. Pretty sure it's only from a US perspective and you'd be disqualified if you lived abroad where these concerns would make any sense.

Python is a much more concise language. There are no brackets/parenthesis to surround blocks, that's 10% to 20% less lines just for that. A truckload of data classes and static declarations don't need to exist in python beca

Companies just really suck at managing hardware or resources. The bigger and the more consultants they get, the more terrible they get, that's what you come after. Chances are you will find tens of instances without any naming or taggi

You're severely underestimating the price of underwear. Don't forget to double because top and bottom are sold separately. Somewhere between 10 and 100 dollars is not bad for a video that took a day to make in one's bedroom.

You're missing the point entirely. The money is in affiliate marketing. Show off in bikinis/makeup and link to buy them. Every time someone buys you're earning a small percentage of the sale. It adds up very quickly. General

You mean +50 or +150% ? Either way, it's insignificant and you're actually losing money. The stock of all the big companies went up tremendously in the past 5 years. Anybody who invested in large US equities made just as much if n

One little correction. Hedge Fund: Convince customers to invest their money in the fund. Extract as much of it as possible through fees. Doesn't care much where the market goes, charge a fee either way, a bit more if it goes up.

I don't know of any service that was dropped on either of AWS or GCP. Features are dropped though, they can't be ordered from new accounts then they disappear eventually. I don't think that you can order older instances, or r

Game servers typically don't last more than a few years, even for an AAA game. They pretty much never last a whole decade outside of major MMORPG. It's a bit surprising that the game industry would be scared of GCP going bust, giv
