Terraform is to cloud infrastructure what Vagrant is to virtual machines, that is to say that Terraform is a scripting language for creating infrastructure in the cloud. Terraform enables infrastructure as code and we can use it to build a continuous delivery pipeline. Terraform made Kubernetes accessible for me and I believe it will for you as well. (more)

Google admits chatbots were a bad idea. The new version of Google Assistant–available now on Android, and coming to the iPhone in a few weeks–emphasizes visual response cards that you can interact with, and that stay on the screen even as you ask follow-up questions... The overall experience is less like texting and more like, well, using an app. (card deck) (more)

In mathematics, ergodicity expresses the idea that a point of a moving system, either a dynamical system or a stochastic process, will eventually visit all parts of the space that the system moves in, in a uniform and random sense. This implies that the average behavior of the system can be deduced from the trajectory of a "typical" point. Equivalently, a sufficiently large collection of random samples from a process can represent the average statistical properties of the entire process. Ergodicity is a property of the system; it is a statement that the system cannot be reduced or factored into smaller components. Ergodic theory is the study of systems possessing ergodicity... Ergodic systems capture the common-sense, every-day notions of randomness, such that smoke might come to fill all of a smoke-filled room, or that a block of metal might eventually come to have the same temperature throughout, or that flips of a fair coin may come up heads and tails half the time. A stronger concept than ergodicity is that of mixing, which aims to mathematically describe the common-sense notions of mixing, such as mixing drinks or mixing cooking ingredients. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ergodicity
