Step by step guide to setup mosh ssh client to Google Cloud VM instance

A beginner's guide to setup Mosh roaming terminal on Mac to access Google Cloud Compute Engine instance

Being new to training ML models using Google Cloud VM instances, I faced issues where my ssh connection to the cloud instance (using either the clound web-based ssh client or using cloud shell) would disconnect from time to time (for example when I power off my laptop or the network gets disconnected) which would terminate the model training process. Therefore I searched for a ssh client that can handle disconnection and can resume connection without disrupting the process running on the server and came across with Mosh mobile shell, a remote terminal app that supports roaming.

It took me a while to figure out how to set up a third party ssh terminal using the google cloud OAuth. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Operational Introduction to Algebraic Effects and Continuations

Algebraic Effects in JavaScript part 1 - continuations and control transfer

This is the first post of a series about Algebraic Effects and Handlers.

There are 2 ways to approach this topic:

  • Denotational: explain Algebraic Effects in terms of their meaning in mathematics/Category theory
  • Operational: explain the mechanic of Algebraic Effects by showing how they operate under a chosen runtime environment

Both approaches are valuables and give different insights on the topic. However, not everyone (including me), has the prerequisites to grasp the concepts of Category theory and Abstract Algebra. On the other hand, the operational approach is accessible to a much wider audience of programmers even if it doesn't provide the full picture.
