Not sure why, but after you log in, colors and images are included.

I don't disagree with the core point that long-horizon, FOSS communities should think twice before operating atop services like Google Groups. Also the particular quality atrophy and feature degradation sucks.

Perhaps it's better framed to say that Groups is not prioritizing the particular users that the author is speaking on behalf of (ack, the monospace thing is a serious bug beyond FOSS communities). Google Groups and the shared infrastructure underneath is a critical piece of GSuite and GCP in many places, and I'd be very surprised if it ended up on the Killed By Google list.

In Seoul in the late 90s I paid some $50K equivalent jeonse for a ~1000 sqft apt, with no further monthly rent. From what I understood, the landlord can make back something equivalent to rent via common interest rates. I was young and frankly didn't understand the exposure or workings at play in this article.

Historically, in Korean culture it was very common for the extended family to live together. When a child married they often continued to reside with the parents/in-laws until they had saved enough money to move out on their own. Jeonse is far less than the amount required to buy a place, and because they get the full amount back when they move out to a bigger/nicer place (more jeonse), they can build up their savings until they have enough to buy a place.

Back then mortgages were rather rare and even monthly rents weren't that common. Things are far different now of course.

I'm not a font guy, but I really dislike the 'a' character in this font set.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss. It seems you took good care of things like this for her.

I recommend you read books 2 and 3 in the REP series. TBP is comparatively really slow (IMO necessarily), but the series really picks up in 2 and 3 in a way that makes you appreciate the foundation that book 1 laid.

For those looking for a more automated approach for doing things like blue/green, take a look at Spinnaker (http://spinnaker.io). Here's a quick video for App Engine - https://youtu.be/pOPgTHz_nYw

Disclaimer, I work on the project.

We don't have a deployment strategy named "blue/green" for the App Engine provider for various reasons, but do provide stages such as "deploy", "disable", "enable", "destroy", as well as setting traffic split percentages that you can string together in a pipeline.

Edit: okay, no markdown on HN

Spinnaker is a part of [NetflixOSS](https://netflix.github.io/), no current intention I know of to submit it to CNCF. Spinnaker certainly does align with some of the core principles behind CNCF (e.g. containers, microservices), and our Kubernetes support is pretty strong (we'll continue aggressively improving it).

In any situation, we certainly run into member projects of CNCF with design considerations, and expect to continue working closely.

Hey HN, we're here from the Spinnaker eng team to answer any questions and hear feedback you may have. Ask us anything!
