questionr's comments

questionr | 9 years ago | on: Ask HN: What cool development languages/tools changed your career?

just to confirm, you completed BOTH MIT algorithm courses and BOTH algorithm books, in the span of 2-months, including completing all the exercises/algorithms?

that seems like an incredibly short amount of time given the content. But if true, congrats! and please let me know your secret!

questionr | 9 years ago | on: New storage classes for Google Cloud Storage

Arq sounds almost ideal, except its still intended more for "backup" than "storage". Its more like an Apple Time Machine.

From what I read, you can still offload data from your local machine by choosing to "archive" a directory.

But thats an extra step and I haven't read how it handles conflicting directory that are created in the future after archiving the original.

Google is making their cloud offering very attractive compared to AWS.

The issue with Glacier is the convoluted retrieval pricing. I understand they want to dissuade people from using it as a primary storage, but the potential for a surprise bill is hard to swallow.

Interesting how they still offer unlimited storage through their consumer Amazon Drive service.

questionr | 9 years ago | on: Programming books you might want to consider reading

I often here comments about finishing a mathematical/technical book over the course of a "few" weekends.

But I don't see how thats possible if it includes completing all (or even most of) the given exercises. Especially when you have a full-time job.
