How do you want it?

What does "ð%C2%9F%C2%98%C2%9F" mean?

Are you saying it's moral for you to read their content but circumvent their business model?

This is the best argument I've heard so far for not blocking ads. Thank you for putting it so succinctly.

I'm running 10.10.4, and it just crashed my Mac -- the "A problem has occurred" screen -- followed by a forced restart.

Completely agree. Compare to BitTorrent Sync, which is proprietary but works perfectly out of the box. [1]

[1] Okay, this is true for BitTorrent Sync versions < 1.4 -- more recent versions have been less reliable, particularly with regards to cross-platform syncing.

From what I've seen, it's more like "Hey, we're hiring an xyz! Know anybody who'd be interested?" with a link to a web page or email address.

Throwing spaghetti code over the wall?

Michael Ruhlman's _Ratio_ espouses a similar philosophy: that recipes can be looked at as patterns which you can build on.

It's a great idea, especially because it encourages experimentation.

Maybe this is actually a really sneaky fundraiser for GNOME, sponsored by Groupon.

Ah, yes. "If you can't spend dough, what [are] you hustlin' for?"

Thanks! I love those chunky graphs, definitely going to play around with ggplot2 a bit.

I bought a license for IntelliJ IDEA 12 during their end-of-the-world sale, and I can upgrade to 14 for $99. What a great deal.

It's not running out, it's unwinding.

And then, to save yourself:

"But it can tick for billions of years without loosing a second."

Is it loosing or losing? Are both correct?

That's too bad, those guys were hilarious. Here's Leslie Lamport solving one of the Car Talk puzzles with TLA+:

    - Sure.

Word. I'm working on a SQL Server -> DB2 migration, which I expect to finish sometime in the next decade.

I hadn't even thought of pinning packages before I read the article; I'm kind of a sucker for apt-get update. I've been thinking a lot about Docker lately, and something in the back of my mind was like, "but what if you don't want the latest version of everything?"

Wow, I thought I was super clever for doing that, and everybody else thought of it first!

"Pin package versions" -- yes. One of the things that has been bugging me about Docker is that if you begin every Dockerfile with an `apt-get -y update`, you never know what you're going to end up with.

On the other hand, pinning every package that you install would end up being pretty verbose.

Totally. I guess that was my point, that it's completely ambiguous, so I was curious to see which interpretation the algorithm picked.

Classic. "Thanks for pointing out this insanely serious issue, which is unfortunately not eligible for our bug bounty program." Maybe they'll send him a free hat.

I didn't know about tty2gif (http://z24.github.io/tty2gif/) -- that looks pretty cool.

Yeah, Stack is really interesting.

Not to mention the fact that because intermediary containers are imaged, you don't have to worry about making a mistake in your script.

Sometimes (okay, every day) I find myself trying a bunch of different things to get something to work. With Docker, you've got a series of "save points" along the way. You can continue building an image from the last good point, and end up with a really clean image that represents the shortest path from bare install to "what I need to get done."

I was playing around with a Perl script about a month ago that would strip all the RUN statements out of a Dockerfile, convert them into a shell script and use that to bootstrap a Vagrant box. So what I'm saying is, if you don't know what you're doing (or just like to experiment with OSes), Docker is really interesting.
