This Week I Learned -
* Using this nice Front-End Checklist will ensure all the front-end website quality parameters are taken care of.
* The three major use cases for running containers in the cloud include running microservices, batch jobs, and continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) of applications.
* To run containers in the cloud, you can either spin up your own containers on VMs provisioned for you, or let the cloud provider create and manage them for you by subscribing to its container service (like Azure Kubernetes Service). If you’re going the PaaS route, you can start with a container-based PaaS, such as Tectonic, OpenShift, or Cloud Foundry.
* Azure Kubernetes Service is fully Linux-based
* The Azure Cosmos DB Python SDK is the only SDK that supports Azure Table storage in Python. This SDK connects with both Azure Table storage and Azure Cosmos DB Table API.
* Ronald Wayne, who co-founded Apple with Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak on April 1, 1976 (their ages were 41, 21 and 25 respectively), sold his ten percent stake in the company after just twelve days for eight hundred dollars and one year later accepted a final US$1,500 to forfeit any potential future claims against the newly legally incorporated Apple. Those shares would now be worth over thirty-five billion dollars. In 2011, the original Apple partnership contract paper was sold at auction for $1.6 million. Wayne has stated in following decades that he does not regret selling his share of the company as he made the "best decision with the information available to me at the time". In retrospect of Apple having become one of the most valuable companies in the world, he assumed that with the stress of having stayed with Apple since its founding, he "probably would have wound up the richest man in the cemetery." He summarized, "What can I say? You make a decision based on your understanding of the circumstances, and you live with it". Wayne illustrated the first
Apple logo, and wrote the Apple I manual. He holds a dozen patents.
* While 77 different nations have competed in the World Cup, just three countries—Brazil, Germany, and Italy—have won 13 of the first 20 World Cup tournaments. Situations in which small differences in performance lead to outsized rewards are known as Winner-Take-All Effects. In situations like these, being just a little bit better than the competition can lead to outsized rewards because the winner takes all. The people and organizations that can do the right things, more consistently are more likely to maintain a slight edge and accumulate disproportionate rewards over time. You don't need to be twice as good to get twice the results. You just need to be slightly better.
* As per NPCI data, there are (at the time of writing) 143 live members, who use or facilitate UPI, while there are 39 third party UPI apps, like Ola, Samsung Pay, Uber, GooglePay, TrueCaller, WhatsApp, which use services of banks for fund transfers. If the transaction is successful, there are no issues. However, in case there are some issues or someone illegally accesses the UPI account and siphons money from the user’s bank account, there are no avenues for immediate redressal or support.
* Maharashtra has by far the largest number of Dams in India. Despite that, the net irrigated area totals only 33,500 square kilometres or about 16% of cultivable land. Although Maharashtra is a highly industrialized state of India, agriculture continues to be the main occupation in the state. Since most of the cultivable land is still rain-fed, the Southwest Monsoon season between June and September is critical to the food sufficiency and quality of life in the state - Wikipedia
* Someone defined happiness as the intersection of pleasure and meaning. Writing code is pleasurable. Others using it is meaningful.
