I find Semantic UI to be very very interesting, but I have yet to figure out how to integrate it in my projects. I don't know if it's just me but it feels like they are forcing you to write your own styling in a separate repo, then generate the CSS and use it on your project, which to me, makes no sense.

I probably missed something.

Agreed, but my point was that Docker doesn't reduce dev setup time. Give a good vagrant config file to a dev and tell him to do vagrant up and you have the same result as what you're saying. You can replicate production state with vagrant too (and bash scripts if we stretch this) and avoid "works on my machine" problems.

I'm not saying that vagrant > docker. The way I see it, docker is great if your infrastructure is using it all the way. If your prod setup if not dockerized, using docker in dev seems to me counterproductive than spinning up a VM and provisionning it with ansible or puppet to achieve production replication. As @netcraft said, I don't see why I should "change my server architecture" to use docker in dev.

So, basicaly, you're saying that you don't want to mess with that setup and use existing stuff... which you could achieve with everything as long as someone else do the setup for you. I don't see where Docker is better for a developper in this case... providing a vagrant box is exactly the same.

And then you realise that global productivity doesn't go up... it is just replaced by a bunch of people hitting Refresh like crazy.

No cross-site loading of any kind; all source material MUST come from the domain you are on. This would seriously break some sites but it would close large gaps in security and tracking.

This would probably break almost everything. Who doesn't use some sort of a CDN nowadays?

I must say that my Dell XPS 13 is a pretty good machine for development. I can take it anywhere without any problems. Sure it is 13", but I can go below 13".

On the plus side, it has a Ubuntu logo on it instead of that crappy Windows logo.

I have no problem on my personal laptop (i7, 8GB RAM, SSD), but on my work laptop (i5,6GB, HDD) it is horrible. I can wait up to 10 seconds before it appears... I just disabled the Super key binding on that computer.

Exactly what I thought! I find it nice, but why would I let a third party manage the most critical part of my platform : my users? You close shop unexpectedly, I close shop. You are down? I am down too.

The dependency between my system and this one would be way too great to consider the option.

Internet prices in Canada are awful... Videotron is charging me 50$/mo for 10 down / 1 up and a supplement of 30$ for unlimited download... and the other provider in Montreal (Bell) has exactly the same pricing scheme... we have a lot of choices.

Nginx and jetty are not the same thing. Nginx is a web server optimized to deliver content. Jetty is an application server built to run the applications. Both can be used together.

Also...Is Amazon EC2 considered virtualization for you?
