I will never adopt a google product again. g+ may be a total failure hangouts may be the less popular chat product

But for me and my kids this was the channels we used when they grew up. We have so much history in our family chat and so many photos shared on google+.

So now they just shut it down and don't even bother to migrate 10 years of my life to whatever is meant to replace those products.

We are a generation who will leave nothing behind.

CRDT's looks interesting and are new enough, that there will be more to learn about them. Seems like an important component in distributed systems (almost all new systems)

The s8 is slippery as hell and very fragile. My screen cracked after just a month. Replacement is crazy expensive. Unless s9 changes that, don't buy it!

Cool project. But potentially dangerous if used as a CRUD ORM layer.

I'd only recommend using something like this for the read model of a CQRS/Event Sourced system.

Capture the commands and send them to business logic, that then updates the database. If you let a generic framework handle writes, it is like putting the business logic in the client. In that case SQL would be simpler.

Free tip: commit often and write proper commit messages.

Scala ... now betting on Kotlin to replace Java.

Any news/tips on how to synchronize pictures/files from a headless Linux NAS box to Google photos/drive?

Sorry, but you are doing a terrible job of explaining what OpenShift is to outsiders.

OpenShift is a Platform-as-a-Service offering from RedHat. It provides a fully integrated solution to building and deploying applications on Docker and Kubernetes. What makes it a PaaS is that it integrates Jenkins, so you can build images from source and promote them though environments. https://www.openshift.com/

OpenShift is a private cloud offering, so it is something you install and run yourself on your own infrastructure or in a public cloud.

So OpenShift.io is the "battery-included" version that is already installed on a public cloud, managed by RedHat?

Yes, but according to what I can read the lake is filled to 8km3 capacity, with 3km3 capacity for flood regulation.

So wouldn't a much smaller dam be sufficient for flood regulation?

A quick calculation of what it would take to replace the dam with solar panels:

According to wikipedia the dam produces 1052MW. Let's call it 1GW. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosul_Dam

According to quora you need about 10000m2 or one 1ha to produce 1MW. So 1000 * 10000m2 = 10km2 to produce 1GW.

I wonder how big the lake is? Could solar panels installed in the drained lake - theoretically - provide the same or more energy than the dam?

Of course energy storage is a major part of water power and it is not taken into account above. On the other hand a decentralized power grid is one of the major advantages of solar (especially in an unstable country) and that is not taken into account either.
