That's so cool! Is there a calculator somewhere that can convert to/from dates and solar system position charts?

What happened?

We do have Cloud Run Functions that trigger on Cloud Storage events, as well as Cloud Pub/Sub notifications for the same. Is there a specific bit of functionality you're looking fo…

Hi, Brandon from GCS here. If you're looking for all of the guarantees of a real, POSIX filesystem, you want to do fast top level directory listing for 100MM+ nested files, and POS…

Hi, GCS engineer here. GCS offered a lot of consistency from the beginning, but we didn't have strong object listing consistency at the beginning. We got that somewhere around 2017…

Last time I played with this, I read through the whole thing without at any point realizing that the code was live and could be experimented with. Don't make the same mistake I did…

Yeah, that's weird. If you're going to announce a new instant messaging system, you will of course provide some reason why people should go through the effort to switch. The front …

Tech debt is most easily measurable in repetitive operational work. Measure it. Bring a story to your leaders: "We are spending 60 hours per week doing repetitive task X. With 200 …

There is also a lower bound of 0 bytes :) You can compose a 4TB object with a 1 byte object, or you can compose 32 150GB objects, just so long as the destination object doesn't go …

Hi, GCS engineer here. The lower limit on composing objects is one source object, in which case you are not so much composing as you are copying with style. Zero source objects is …

Well, maybe. This is Ship of Theseus situation. The good news is that, from the perspective of the new you, everything went great, and the old you doesn't have a perspective, so th…

While there is not an option to set a default cache policy on a bucket, you can specify a cache policy as part of object uploads, although I admit that this can be inconvenient if …

A human would record that as clearly being PRINCE. For their described use case, reading images of business and movie names, the presence of other, small text in the picture seems …

Google has contributed quite a bit to Boto. The GCS command line tool, gsutil, is built on top of boto. If you're talking about Boto 3, though, not so much.

Once, I noticed that a minor piece of how Google's Python system tests could be very slightly cleaner and more consistent. It would be a tiny change, it seemed very safe, and it wa…

The GTD book gets into this very directly. It talks a lot about the principal borrowed from martial arts of having a "mind like water." When a pebble disturbs the water, the water …

Worse, Trump has issued at least 16 ethics "waivers" to at for staffers who would be banned from serving on his staff over his ethics rules. Once you make more than a dozen or so e…

Very cool! I like how configurable your solution is. Google has an example app ( https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubernetes-bigquery-p... ) that demonstrates getting Pub/Sub…

Nope, 12 months: https://cloud.google.com/free/ In addition, the $300 is only for expenses in excess of the "Always Free" usage limits, which covers quite a bit of stuff, including…

We have. In addition, some offices offer interview coaching sessions for candidates who are scheduled for an on-site, which are basically rehashes of the material we publish plus s…

That photo's position, overhead and looking down a long hallway of cubes, with some meaningless but chipper corporate slogans as well as some very serious business-looking stuff, r…
