Q: What is Microsoft doing with Go?
A: Microsoft is using Go internally to power pieces of the Azure infrastructure, like AKS [Azure Container Service]. For customers, Go is definitely a first-class citizen on Azure – you can use Go to make calls to the Azure SDK and provision services and infrastructure. You can also use Go to call into those services and consume things like Cosmos DB, other databases, message queues, any of the services that Microsoft provides. The Azure team has been investing in a great experience for Go developers.

It seem there's some discontent on the explicit use of "132 Women In Cybersecurity ..." of the linked article above. They argued, the title should not use any gender remark and just say "132 In Cybersecurity To Follow ..."

While that still left to be debated, we apologized if the article above look offended.

Good to keep this in mind in case of high disk IO usage:-

We found an alternative solution by mounting two different disks in each node. We use one disk for the Docker filesystem, where Docker stores information about the containers running. We use the other disk for our own workloads, where customers run their build commands.

Ballerina, programming language for writing microservices.

Concurrency Workers - Ballerina’s execution model is composed of lightweight parallel execution units known as workers. Workers use a full non-blocking policy where no function locks an executing thread, such as an HTTP I/O call awaiting response. These semantics manifest sequence concurrency where workers are independent concurrent actors that do not share state but can interact using messages, similar to how distributed systems pass messages over a network. Workers and fork/join language semantics abstract the underlying non-blocking approach to enable a simpler concurrency programming model.

History of IRC. From tolsun.oulu.fi to EFNet, UnderNet, DalNet and Freenode.

===
According to measurements done by irc.netsplit.de, IRC in general have lost users gradually since 2004/2005. Those years, the top 4 IRC networks all had over 100,000 users each on a daily basis. Those networks were Quakenet, Undernet, IRCnet and EFnet. Quakenet was in the lead with more than 200,000 users.

In the beginning of 2011, Quakenet is just above 100,000 users and the only network over 100K.
