I have a late-2016 Razer Blade and every time I compile something the fans spin up to aircraft-turbine levels of noise, it's ridiculous. I'm currently thinking of throwing the whole thing out and getting a Macbook Pro instead, bec

I'd be very interested to hear in what way you think GKE is nicer to work with, care to elaborate?

Not sure if you're aware, but your Rx example has a few problems: 1.) In the StartSenders method, you're violating the Rx grammar by calling channel.OnNext concurrently. Wrap it on a lock statement. 2) In StartReceiver you're

I also want to try Azure, but I only have a prepaid credit card (I live in Europe, don't need it except for small Internet things) and Azure is the ONLY service that doesn't accept it. AWS, Google Cloud, Netflix, etc. all work fi
