I mean if you are used to statically typed languages then learn Go.  Its better for that exact reason.  I cant get into it because I have started with oo languages like Python so I have just dealt with the pain and any sort of library issues I would typically just go in and fix whatever the issue is on the library I imported.  Also, with things like Go theres no whitespacing bs.

If you use virtualenv and pip it is quite manageable.  As for whitespacing just setup your editor properly (they all have some PEP8 plugin) then it just isn't that big a deal.

I'd say Ruby dependencies issue is worse and Java is much uglier than Python.  Haven't really tried Go so can't comment on that.

There is actually a business version of Google Drive; haven't look or need to use LDAP/RADIUS but apparently LDAP is supported.

You can use a tool like processexplorer to check detailed IO usage per process. (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/processexplorer.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396).  It is much more granular than what task manager will give you.

I have the Gear VR (for Note 4); I rarely have time to use it but it was nice to show it to family/coworker.

I'm keen on finding a way for innovation in the networking area.

A way in which I do this at the moment is not that great but goes along something like this:

- keep checking new releases or planned release to see what features are available, and I think how they would apply to the business, how we can benefit or how they can make our life easier

- see what problems are currently there and google for ways to resolve or alleviate

- browse good forums like networking-forums.com and ask questions which may seem silly to some, at the risk of online reputation being degraded.

Does anyone have any better suggestions?

Well there are some interesting innovations that have some relevance to networking (but networking is just a small subset); for example docker management platform like Kubernetes has some implications on the network design.

The industry term for it is SDWAN:

I currently works for a company (TELoIP http://packetpushers.net/teloip-offers-sd-wan-resellers-msps/) that is in this space and the clients are mainly Telcos and MSP.

Yes, I am using amazon aws EC2 service, it is totally free for one year.
It's totally amazing!!!

Do you mean the free tier service?  It is very easy to go over the free tier usage limit.

How many of you work in a place where infrastructure as code is being practiced, e.g. they are deployed with a CM tool/orchestrator and version control in a VCS like git) and is integrated with a CI/CD tools (e.g Jenkins)

For those who work in a (public) cloud environment, infrastructure as code is a common practiced (as it may be built that way to begin with) whereas traditional enterprises are not.  Currently I find myself trying to incorporate more IaC in my work environment but there are challenges in a non-cloud environment.  I think it is just easier to build a new cloud (public or private) environment than to migrate it.

Depending on what exactly is your goal you may want to investigate network automation with something like  Go with Docker/Kubernetes backend or a CM tools like Ansible + Python + Openstack instead.

Also have you check out Terraform or Cloudformation?

Here are some project that has some relevance:

IPAM written Python (Missing a lot of basic features)
https://github.com/SpriteLink/NIPAP

IPAM based on the LAMP stack
https://github.com/phpipam/phpipam

Not my blog but from the author of PowerDNS - http://ds9a.nl/amazing-dna/ and http://ds9a.nl/

Very interesting and illuminating esp if you know a bit about programming and biology.

I am running into an odd issue where I have a VM template and I have been converting it back to VM, made some changes then converting it back to template.  To my surprise, the newly deployed VM from the template doesn't seem to have the new changes applied.

Have anyone else seen this?  This is in vSphere 5.5.

TIL I hate programming with MYSQL.

Here's one of mine:

Cool! But what does it do?

I'm not up on all the AWS fu yet but it looked to me like it deployed a VPC and provisioned everything.

Yes it created 2 EC2 instances in a VPC and installed Apache on them, then it will do a curl on them to ensure that service is running.  If you have python & boto installed you can run those codes with your own AWS account.
