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

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 for?

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 POSIX permissions/owner/group and other file met

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 when we moved object metadata to Spanner. See https:&

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! Also I don't know much about WebGL and am quite

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 page should be brimming with the pitch. "Unli

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 hours of work, we could eliminate this work. It would p

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 over 5 terabytes.

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 an error. I will file a note about the docs, thanks.

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 that's a 100% endorsement rate.

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 you upload from multiple clients. In addition, caching only

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 quite fair.

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 was easily accomplishable with a short sed script, but it

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 responds instantly with exactly the right amount o

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 exceptions for who you're putting on your team

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 data into BigQuery, but it just do

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 5 gigs of cloud storage, 1

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 some Q&A time with an interviewer. I would encourage OP t

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, reminds me of the opening office shot of the game Starde

If you need to host static content over HTTPS with a custom domain, then yes, Cloud Load Balancing is the main option at the moment. You can use GCS for HTTP serving from a custom domain or via HTTPS from GCS's own domain ( https:&#x2F

The HMAC credential that you'd use with the S3-compatible GCS API, also called the "XML API", does need to be associated with a Google account, but it doesn't need to be the main account of the developer. It can be any G

by BrandonY 10y ago
Yes, we can. You can host static content in GCS in the same way that you would using S3, or you can Google Cloud Load Balancer to do more complex setups, such as mixing static GCS content and compute URLs on the same domain. If you're

I have no idea. I'm not sure what you were looking at. If you visit just " https://noto-website.storage.googleapis.com/" , that's a request to list all of the objects in the bucket, so you'll see an X

Good question. I can explain. "storage.googleapis.com" is an endpoint for Google Cloud Storage's "XML" API. Google Cloud Storage (GCS) is a cloud blob storage service similar to Amazon S3. This particular API, the &
