Wing Commander IV’s Walton Goggins is hosting SNL right now. I hope they do a send up of what’s going on in the Border Worlds.

I miss when ‘sticking it to the man’ didn’t mean sticking it to science, history, and basic empathy.

15 minutes not enough? Run your #serverless function or container for up to 1 hour -- sign up for the alpha with Cloud Run, we'd love your feedback: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe1IzLWrfw4EBP0LBzS5ZjVy04meTLy4XcY4Msz1YmYEHrJpA/viewform
Cloud Run: Long Running Operations (upto 60 mins)
Dear Serverless expert, One of the top feature requests for Cloud Run (https://cloud.google.com/run) has been having long request times. Hence, we are excited to announce that we have increased the Cloud Run request time to 60 mins. We are releasing this feature in alpha today and request users to fill this form to get access to longer timeouts. Please note Cloud Run is a GA product and for requests with timeout <=15 mins we will be honoring our GA commitments. Only the timeout >15 mins and < 1hr is in alpha. Could you please fill this form, if you are interested in this feature and we will get you onboarded. We really look forward to your use cases for long processing workloads on Cloud Run.

Containers AND serverless, not containers VS serverless. Awesome talk by ⁦@ahmetb⁩ and ⁦@lindydonna⁩ .. can we get this as a blog post y'all? 😁 #Serverlessconf
November 21, 2024 at 4:01 PM
Obsessed with the Bill & Ted gifs in the #serverlessconf talk by ⁦@lynnaloo⁩ about serverless devs. Most Triumphant! (and can't wait for B&T 3)

I've been using an iPhone (and Android) with Google Fi as my wireless phone provider for a bit, and it works really well. Especially for international travel. Glad it's now public! https://twitter.com/googlefi/status/1067811241828253699

YES! Raccoon emojis come to iOS today! I've never updated my phone software this quickly. 🦝🦝🦝 BEST DAY EVER

Fantastic talk by @jeffhollan about bringing the serverless development experience to folks who aren't running fully hosted FaaS. IoT, on-prem, legacy systems etc. Couldn't agree more. Serverless blasphemy, I know. #serverlessconf
November 21, 2024 at 4:01 PM
New @GCPcloud course from @acloudguru! I'm a big fan of their stuff... sorry @MattiasEh if you have to add a bunch of content after this week's announcements 🤠 https://twitter.com/acloudguru/status/1022124991343730693

Interested in serverless and headed to next week's #GoogleNext18? With over 30 serverless talks scheduled, I teamed with @dvmelnyk to create a short guide. I'll be hanging out in the serverless area in Moscone West so come say hi! https://t.co/A53XMWD4mx
