海外TECH	DEV Community	What I learned from building REST APIs in 3 different languages	https://dev.to/cerchie/what-i-learned-from-building-rest-apis-in-3-different-languages-5cn1	What I learned from building REST APIs in different languagesWhile I was in bootcamp in I built REST APIs using JavaScript and Python Recently using karanpratapsingh s helpful tutorial I got started on building a REST API in Golang It was during the process of following the Golang tutorial that certain things really clicked for me I m writing to share them with you The basics of REST APIs are the same in all three of these languagesBuilding a REST API enabled me to establish a CRUD pattern whether I was doing it in JavaScript Python or Golang In each of those languages I had many of the same considerations Which CRUD operations did I really need for my end project How was I going to handle errors Security Testing I am now understanding by my own experience that API design can be language agnostic It s ok to build something without having memorized every last bit of the syntaxSince I wrote my Python and JavaScript APIs in a fast paced bootcamp I was forced to dive in headfirst after a quick review of language syntax My Golang API is a side project so there was none of that external pressure and for that reason I put it off for a long time But after about the twelfth video on the ins and outs of pointers I realized it was time to get started actually building something because getting to know language syntaxes is like getting to know people learning the names is the beginning but you have to start interacting with them to understand their behavior Python JavaScript and Golang are all different languagesI know shocker But after working with them all I understand the differences better When I only knew Python and JS I thought maybe Golang was more like Python than I realize it is now and that Python and JS were less alike than I think they are now I got hung up on the syntax differences try and catch in JS vs try and except in Python without realizing that these languages had some similarities as well For example JS and Python are both dynamically typed You can declare a variable and the runtime gods will determine its type Just try that with Golang It won t let you because you as a Go developer must declare a variable s type it s not the runtime s concern As far as similarities go all three languages also participate in object orientation to varying degrees in varying ways as always this depends on how you define object orientation That could be a whole separate blog post so I m stopping here ConclusionIf you normally build something in one language try it in a new one The perspective you gain may surprise you	2021-11-09 19:00:38

GCP	Cloud Blog	Live from COP26: A cloud’s eye view	https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/sustainability/thoughts-on-cloud-and-climate-change-from-cop26/	Live from COP A cloud s eye viewAt Google we re keenly invested in preventing the worst effects of climate change and helping our customers use Google Cloud technology to build a more sustainable future We re watching with interest the goings on at the United Nations Climate Change Conference or COP when representatives from countries and organizations around the world including Google Cloud will gather for the first two weeks in November in Glasgow Scotland for the latest round of climate talks Bookmark this blog as Google sustainability experts bring their perspective on developments discussed there as they pertain to cloud computing Catch the event for yourself on Youtube and Google Arts amp Culture How climate scientists are using cloud computing to predict the future of our planet  Tuesday November  Tricia Davis Muffett Director Public Sector MarketingAs world leaders debate policy measures at COP leading scientists are harnessing the power of the cloud to better understand how the Earth s climate is changing  With cloud computing scientists run parallel computations on intuitive scalable and cost effective infrastructure which is crucial for analyzing the massive datasets of climate science The more data climate scientists can collect and analyze the better their predictions can be ーand the sooner we can develop solutions  With Google Cloud researchers around the world are developing new tools to do this collaboratively and sharing them so policy makers can access them too Here are some examples of these innovative projects At Columbia University researchers used Google Cloud to build Pangeo an open source data toolkit to store and analyze the three dimensional high resolution datasets of climate sciences They are now building Pangeo Forge to crowdsource and automate the creation of cloud optimized big science data and further facilitate sharing and collaboration At CalTech researchers at the Climate Modeling Alliance CliMA are developing ClimateMachine the first climate model to integrate the massive amounts of observational climate data collected from space and the ground with targeted high resolution simulations This is especially important for data that are not easy to measure and represent like low lying cloud strata By running the simulations on Compute Engine they improved the model s accuracy and reduced uncertainty in planning for extreme events like hurricanes At Natural Resources Canada NRCan researchers are supporting sustainable development in Canada s natural resource sector By partnering with Climate Engine a Canadian company using geospatial AI tools and using Google Earth s satellite data they are delivering actionable insights to the public sector Then by tracking changes in ecosystems disease vectors water availability and quality soil health growing seasons air pollution and more NRCan and Climate Engine can improve decision making on climate action policy and help support climate resilience These examples of climate scientists using Google Cloud to share data and improve their predictions are just the tip of the iceberg of how our technology can help fight climate change For more check out the resources below  Related

support our natural worldMonday November Alexandrina Garcia Verdin Cloud Developer Advocate At COP the focus thus far has largely been on reducing carbon emissions ーand rightfully so But today s theme of Adaptation Loss and Damage has particular meaning to me Working at Google Cloud I ve witnessed how technology and data can help us solve complex social and environmental challenges especially in two major areas   Assessing and quantifying changes caused by human activity on the Earth and course correct ex timelapses of satellite imagery or auto classifying images to detect carbon emissions Creating and adopting the next generation of Earth aligned solutions that improve systems of infrastructure and exchanging of goods ex sensors to support regenerative farming or supply chain apps that label the climate positive impact a good or service has promoting biodegradable materials or circular systems of reuse As a Developer Advocate I build and share how to technical content to show customers how to use our tools In that capacity for Earth Day I created a YouTube mini series called People and Planet AI that helps create paths for developers interested in using machine learning or big data to build meaningful apps via real life examples The first episode of this technical series is on WildlifeInsights org which is an amazing free web app that anyone with an internet connection can use to search or upload photos to a global wildlife database to train machine learning models that auto classify photos of animals taken by research cameras In this vein my peers and I designed a getting started sample for building an animal classifier on Google Cloud Our second episode was on GlobalFishingWatch org another beautiful machine learning project that helps track vessels from illegal unreported and unregulated fishing Our beginner sample teaches you the data transformations performed and the model creation process for building a time series classification It uses GPS vessel data and manually labeled data to predict whether or not a vessel is fishing based on their distance from shore direction lat long speed etc Thanks to Google s employee policy which enables employees to spend of their time on projects outside of their core job I also work co organizing a grass roots group called Anthropocene that matches Googlers with internal climate products research or hardware The goal is to accelerate the creation of climate solutions by connecting talented people to different problems This climate solutions startup community is intentionally a safe and positive space made up of passionate people with a wide spectrum of technical science environmental or organizational backgrounds They each choose the skills they wish to offer ranging from project management UX marketing partner management software engineering technical documentation analytics etc I believe open data and documentation is the way to scale climate solutions with urgency I turn to open source practices because they are at the end of the day contribution frameworks that enable perfect strangers to work together to solve complex issues And when it comes to climate solutions we benefit from global participation to design for regional needs As such documenting recording or summarizing how to build a solution as accessibly possible is key to enabling others It s also equally important for organizations to continuously share data to help build models that have sufficient information to train them  My next work will be focused on externalizing the program management learnings we have gathered from operating our climate startups program The goal is to share new frameworks for organizations in any industry to build internal climate solution programs by leveraging employee talent as well as the organization s strengths resources Thanks to data and machine learning today we can understand our natural world with far greater richness than ever before ーby orders of magnitude more I am personally very motivated to see climate solutions grow exponentially and look forward to inspiring technologists to apply their skills to our natural world Can t miss experiences from the Green Zone at COP Friday November  Camaryn McKenzie and Denna Nazem Associate Product Marketing Managers GoogleAs part of a generation that is deeply passionate about climate justice and protecting the planet we treat our role as Google marketers as an opportunity to amplify voices generate awareness for technology solutions and build influential and creative content around sustainability This week we ve been exploring COP through Google Arts and Culture s Green Zone ーa space for youth groups civil society academia artists and business to host events exhibitions cultural performances workshops and talks that are online and accessible to all We want to invite you to explore the Green Zone watch live streams straight out of Glasgow and even virtually walk through the exhibits in a space  There is a LOT of outstanding content available but we were especially drawn to some of the creative solutions presented by climate leaders to combat global warming Here are the top three sessions we think you can t miss  Reimagining Museums for Climate Action What if Indigenous lands were thought of as a kind of museum for climate action The UN launched the “Reimagining Museums for Climate Action design competition in May and is now showcasing eight of the proposals at COP This article allows you to explore the exhibits online showcasing ideas on how museums can become catalysts for climate action One project we found particularly interesting was the Natural Future Museum which celebrates and protects Indigenous communities who have historically lived in harmony with their natural environments The exhibit includes a short film highlighting one community that is doing just that “The relationship between museums and Indigenous groups is often problematic as museums have deprived them of their cultural heritage What if we thought of Indigenous territories themselves as a new kind of museum where forests and peoples ways of life can be sustained Natural Future Museums Reimagining Museums for Climate Action  Climate visuals Visualising Climate Change Climate Visuals in collaboration with TED Countdown is releasing photographs selected from a pool of unique submissions Each of the photos is a combination of illustrative and impactful showcasing climate solutions in tandem with the global impact of climate change This initiative is intended to produce an accessible collection of evidence based photos that document the reality of climate change across the globe “How we articulate the impact of climate can make or break public opinion and the ripple effect is seen throughout culture business education media and more Climate VisualsAerial view of systematic deforestation in a Bolivian national park bare strip of

Visuals Countdown  The Frontlines Step into the Reality of Climate ChangeThe Biosphere Virtual Reality exhibit The Frontlines transports viewers to the frontlines and realities of the climate crisis and out of the comfort of Glasgow or their computer scenes We think the power of VR and immersive video really shines through this exhibit bringing in the voices of the most underrepresented populations who are being hit the hardest by climate change directly to the COP stage Through showcasing three moving case studies the exhibit clearly highlights how while it is important to work together towards solutions for the future the reality is devastation has already arrived   “Women and young people in the Global South are already being hardest hit by the climate crisis Extreme weather patterns ーcaused by rising global temperatures ーare destroying lives and livelihoods and displacing millions of people from their homes…step into the reality of climate change and be transported from the comfort of Glasgow to the places already being devastated by the effects of climate change Kiribati Morocco and Ethiopia The Frontlines Biosphere Virtual RealityWhat Green Zone content resonated most with you Join the climate conversation with GoogleSustainability and GoogleCloud New partnerships set a course for clean energy progressThursday November  Fabien Vieau Regional Director European Data Center Energy and SustainabilityWhile national pledges to reduce carbon emissions tend to make the most news at climate conferences like the one this week in Glasgow it s new policy and investment partnerships that will be key to making near term progress in transitioning the globe to cleaner energy sources And by that measure the first week of COP has already included a number of important announcements that will help move us faster toward a cleaner energy system  On Tuesday my colleague Devon Swezey wrote about the new Carbon free Energy Compact now with signatories to enable CFE and accelerate electricity grid decarbonization across the globe Today I was pleased to represent Google as it officially joined the Clean Energy Demand Initiative CEDI a new effort coordinated by the U S government and announced today by Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry The CEDI fosters collaboration between corporate clean energy buyers and governments across Asia Latin America and Africa to scale clean energy purchasing and support national climate goals Google has long been a leader in clean energy purchasing helping to found organizations like the Renewable Energy Buyers Alliance in the U S Re Source in Europe and working to open the market in Taiwan to direct clean energy purchasing The CEDI is an exciting new partnership to expand these successes to new geographies In addition to these initiatives a number of other notable efforts were launched to support the growth of clean energy across the globe These include  A new Green Grids Initiative launched by the UK and India which seeks to accelerate the development and deployment of interconnected electricity grids across continents countries and communities   The Global Energy Alliance a new fund to accelerate and scale equitable energy transitions in low and middle income countries which aims to raise billion in public and private capital to expand access to clean electricity for billion people  The First Movers Coalition which organizes commitments by companies to purchase low carbon products to create new markets for technologies that will be needed to reduce emissions across hard to abate sectors like aviation shipping and cement One important lesson coming out of COP is that partnerships and collaboration between the public private and NGO sectors will be key to driving the adoption of clean energy at the pace and scale necessary to mitigate the worst consequences of climate change It s also clear that policy in particular is critical to accelerating the current momentum Supporting the net zero agenda as technology leaders Wednesday November Paul Frost Chief Architect Wholesale Banking Technology HSBCAs COP gets into full swing I ve started reflecting on what we as technology leaders can do to support the sustainability and the net zero agenda Since the turn of the st century we as a society have become more and more dependent on technology both in our personal lives and at work and the push to digitise continues at pace especially in the financial sector Let s start by saying from a carbon footprint perspective this is a good thing for almost all processes in a digitised journey will always be more carbon efficient than the equivalent manual process Using paper and visiting a branch by example are evidently more carbon intensive Having said that we must also recognise that for us at HSBC and other banks technology is a sizeable part of our carbon footprint So what are the levers we have to influence the size of this footprint There are a number of choices we can make that have a positive impact ーfrom large decisions around hosting through to how we manage our day to day activities across technology One of the most impactful things we can do is to use the cloud Whilst we are moving to more sustainable internal data centres cloud providers are generally ahead of this curve as they have had to drive a high degree of efficiency to support their hyperscale demands That and their advances in use of green energy puts them ahead in the goals of net zero carbon But cloud isn t the only answer ーwe need to think about how we use the technology more broadly Here are just some of the things we as technology leaders should consider Are we rightsizing our applications Typically utilization figures of servers are low so would efficient use of containers and virtualization help We often “gold plate solutions does the solution warrant the size of infrastructure deployed to meet this business need Do systems need to be up and running of the time We typically leave infrastructure running when not in use Do those development and test environments need to be running of the time Can we scale on demand rather than pre provision to meet spikes in capacity demand This is another area where cloud helps What about data It too has a carbon footprint Do we always consider the data lifecycle and have efficient processes for data archiving and deletion or do we keep the data around just in case Duplication do we have duplicate solutions that meet a business need Do we really need this or would consolidation help reduce the carbon footprint The desktop are we thinking about carbon footprint in our desktop There is significant variation across desktop devices that needs to be considered Are we considering the whole life of a device through manufacture transport use and eventually decommission These are just some of the things we need to consider and I am sure many people are already aware and doing this There are more options out there but the most important thing we can do is start thinking about the various options we have at hand make sure we are having these conversations and challenge the carbon efficiency of our technology use At HSBC we are committed to achieving net zero in our own operations and supply chain by or sooner read more here Accelerating sustainable finance with technologyWednesday November Jeff Sternberg Director Office of the CTO Google CloudAs global leaders gather this week at COP in Glasgow one of their top goals is to mobilize finance to secure net zero emissions and keep degrees warming within reach To do this COP leaders are challenging all financial stakeholders to take climate into account in every financial decision  Technology is playing a vital role in this effort I have a background in financial services and fintech and work in Google Cloud s CTO Office with technology leaders across financial services and other industries to transform sustainability in their organizations Here are three technology areas that I think are vital for sustainable finance both to manage climate related risks and to enable new climate finance opportunities Understanding localized climate risksCOP leaders are calling on companies to be transparent about the risks inherent in climate change Every business will be affected by a warming planet and it s critical to understand precisely how these events will affect company operations employees lives and entire value chains As BlackRock s CEO Larry Fink has stated climate risk is investment risk However physical risks from climate change are not evenly distributed around the world Some areas will see increased floods and others will face droughts or wildfires Rising sea levels will affect coastal areas and severe winter storms will affect places with historically milder winters Geospatial analytics and modeling has the potential to give us a much more accurate view of these localized climate related physical risks The Task Force on Climate Related Financial Disclosures TCFD recommends factoring the geographic location of the organization s value chain both upstream and downstream as well as the organization s own assets into any climate change scenario analysis efforts Using tools like Google Earth Engine and BigQuery it s possible to create a localized precise understanding of climate related physical risks for each location in the value chain Using AI to improve climate disclosureAnother key finance priority for COP is improving the quantity quality and comparability of climate related disclosures by companies so that investors and regulators can better understand climate risks and opportunities To date most of this disclosure has been published as human readable documents One example is Google s Environmental Report These documents are very helpful if you re in a position to deeply study an individual company but what if you want a broad view of sustainability progress across markets This is where AI comes in Specifically natural language machine learning approaches can be applied to classifying and extracting structured information from sustainability disclosures The TCFD recently used an AI approach to quantify the level of sustainability disclosure across companies from countries A team of experts manually labeled text passages in a sample of documents assigning a “yes or “no value to each review question such as “does the company disclose Scope Scope and if appropriate Scope greenhouse gas emissions Then they trained a model with these labels and used it to predict yes no responses for the entire corpus The resulting analytics were used by the task force to assess the state of adoption and level of disclosures Investors regulators and companies can all benefit from adopting natural language AI techniques to better understand sustainability documents whether those are from suppliers investors customers or even competitors Tools like Google Document AI and Vertex AutoML can accelerate AI adoption in these organizations Collaborative sustainability data sharingCOP is demonstrating the power of collaboration to solve climate challenges It s clear that individual organizations cannot go at this alone everyone must work together In the financial world companies need to share information with investors suppliers need to share data with companies and everyone needs to share data with regulators and central banks In an enterprise setting sharing data can be difficult involving legacy tools slow cycle times and one way processes What if sharing climate and sustainability data were as simple as sharing photos or documents in the cloud Cloud native tools like Analytics Hub built on BigQuery can definitely help here As a bonus thanks to Google s renewable energy matching building these solutions on Google Cloud today means the net operational greenhouse gas emissions associated with your application is zero And over time the gross carbon footprint of these workloads will decrease as we make progress towards our goal of running on carbon free energy around the clock by New momentum for carbon free energyTuesday November Devon Swezey Global Energy Markets and Policy LeadWhen Google announced our goal to operate on carbon free energy CFE at all of our data centers cloud regions and office campuses across the world by we knew that reaching it would require new partnerships with governments companies our customers and the communities in which we operate That s why it s been so exciting to see so many companies governments and organizations join Google in committing to advance CFE including today at the COP conference in Glasgow  Earlier today I participated on a panel with leaders from X AES Clean Energy the government of Iceland and the city of Ithaca New York to discuss the CFE Compact a multi stakeholder effort organized by Sustainable Energy for All to accelerate decarbonization of electricity grids across the globe SEforAll announced that new companies governments and organizations for a total of have now joined the Compact which Google CFO Ruth Porat publicly launched in a speech at the September UN High Level Dialogue on Energy In addition to the organizations that participated on today s panel CFE Compact signatories include Clean Air Task Force EDP Engie Johnson Controls and Orsted you can find a full list here The CFE Compact is a vehicle to focus action to go beyond the “emit and compensate model of the past and target the complete decarbonization of electricity consumption This is important because rapid electricity decarbonization is key to creating net zero emissions economies electricity accounts for of global carbon emissions but is also key to decarbonizing other sectors of the economy like transport industry and buildings According to the International Energy Agency s landmark Net Zero by report published earlier this year to achieve a net zero global economy by we must create zero carbon grids even earlier by according to the IEA while “electricity becomes the core of the energy system  With the CFE Compact stakeholders across the energy ecosystem can help accelerate this transition by driving progress in key areas We ll need more energy consumers targeting CFE for their operations new market and product innovations to enable around the clock clean power advancements in carbon free energy and demand optimization technologies and major shifts in policy We re hopeful that COP proves to be a strong foundation to build upon as we work collectively to decarbonize the grids in the coming decades  To learn more about the growing movement for Carbon free Energy and how you can get involved check out www gocarbonfree com And as Google advances towards our own CFE by goal we ll continue to share our learnings and our progress and work to help our partners and customers achieve their own decarbonization objectives Stay tuned for more updates in this area in the weeks ahead At COP we ll be watching the world turn ambition into actionMonday November Chris Talbott Cloud Sustainability LeadIt s Day of COP where for the next two weeks the work of nations companies agencies and individuals fighting climate change across the globe will be on full display  At Google we believe that technology is a powerful tool in that fight and consider the environment with every product we build and every data center we stand up We re also partnering with governments to decarbonize their economies improving climate preparedness and increasing climate resilience  And at Google Cloud we ve been working with our customers to apply cloud technologies to the critical climate change challenges they need to meet for their business goals In these engagements we re focused on turning the overwhelming ambition we hear from everyone we talk to ーapp developers to city planners to CEOs ーinto real action Which is why I m looking forward to the next two weeks and I m super interested in learning how other companies are tackling climate change in their industries  For example one of the things we ll be on the lookout for is new ideas for using technology to help visualize and quantify climate challenges ーthings like this AI generated installation with artwork that explores climate issues like coral bleaching Visual representations are already helping our customers make more sustainable decisions such as how to source materials more responsibly I hope we can learn more from the creative COP community on how to use visuals to influence sustainability decisions  Each day of COP has a theme ーfrom finance to energy to cities ーwhich is sure to bring new commitments from the leading sustainable companies in each industry Whether its pricing climate risk into financial assets last mile efficiency in logistics or infrastructure decarbonization individual industries all face unique sustainability challenges have unique goals and require unique technology solutions to achieve them For our part Google shared a new net zero commitment across our value chain heading into COP and I m looking forward to seeing all the new targets being set and progress that companies are making  We ll also be listening to the experts on howwe can avert the worst consequences of climate change The challenge is immense but change can start with small decisions all of us make Keep us bookmarked and check back with us often to hear perspectives from onsite in Glasgow and from climate and industry experts across our teams who are working on making the sustainable choice the easy one Related resourcesGoogle Cloud sustainability overviewAnnouncing new tools to measureーand reduceーyour
