My standard tool for quickly spinning up a web app is Rails, but recently I've been writing a lot of python for data projects and I'm thinking about spending some time learning Django. Rails development seems to be going strong though and has me a little worried. Can anyone speak to Django development and its ecosystem in 2018?

Does anyone know why they decided to migrate to GCP? I'm trying to find an explanation in their project docs with no luck

I'm actually midway through this book and I definitely recommend it. The content manages to be both approachable and enlightening. I'm a backend software engineer with the latitude to architect systems at my company and the content so far has given me a stronger foundation for choosing how and where to manage our data. I really enjoy the mini-dives into the structures and decisions supporting the common databases you see today (B-trees, LSM trees, etc.) and discussing the trade offs between them. Now I find myself better equipped to evaluate the tools at our disposal for a given job.

I can imagine it may not dive deep enough for people who really understand the internals of a given data store and the content is probably available elsewhere. However this book is a thoughtful and engaging curation of a lot of information that I may have missed otherwise

having problems here as well. Slow down errors, 500 errors, and a random EC2 termination we suspect might've been related to EBS

Keep in mind that some SDKs have internal dependencies. Those apps could just be linking a set of SDKs that happen to include those 3 networking libraries.

I'm not familiar with the procedure of publishing a paper, so please excuse my ignorance. What's preventing someone from submitting their work to publishers AND uploading it to an open access platform? They can rely on the journal for quality-review/validation/etc. while still allowing for wide dissemination.
