Well, the canonical way of running a container is as you mention.

However! There's a couple of options if you do not have a config you're completely happy with yet.

One is to run a process manager like supervisord as your container process, and start up any arbitrary amount of services you wish (like ssh.) It's my understanding that in the future Docker will allow you to call `init` directly, so it becomes more vm like.

The other, assuming a sufficiently modern kernel (I believe 3.8+, which is the minimum supported for Docker) is to use the lxc userland tools, specifically `lxc-attach <containerid>` This will allow you to create a shell in the running container and poke about as needed.

Exactly what I was trying to get across. It's HR's job to come up with general salary trends by seniority, geography and anything else that management wants.

It's management's (really the CEO's) job to apply it. Is it a company that want to pay median salaries with lots of benefits? Low base relative to the industry, but lots of bonus and equity? Lots of cash? All these are the CEO's decision, but they shouldn't be the ones gathering the data.
I'm pretty sure you literally said "popping up shareware nag-screens at random intervals" instead of "that's equivalen to", but whatever, I'll take your word for it, in good faith, that you did not edit your post and that I read your post wrong.

Like I said before: errors during redeploy are not supposed to happen even in the open source version, and if they do happen then we are very interested in fixing them. Please tell us more. There is no need to spin this as being "dishonest". If you don't believe us, tell us about your problem, let us fix it, and verify for yourself that it is fixed. Only the facts matter.

As for the Engine Yard and Uservoice.com post:

1. All problems that the Engine Yard post talked about, were fixed 2 days after they published that article (http://blog.phusion.nl/2012/09/21/the-right-way-to-deal-with...). If you are still experiencing those problems, tell us, and we'll fix it. By the way, did you notice that EngineYard said something entirely different about Phusion Passenger and Unicorn later on? https://www.engineyard.com/articles/rails-server

2. Almost all problems that that the Uservoice.com talked about, have been fixed in Phusion Passenger 4.0, open source version.

3. There are also plenty of posts that describe migrating from Unicorn to Phusion Passenger, e.g. https://speakerdeck.com/arnvald/dot-dot-dot-but-we-had-to-ki....

So what does that mean? Experiences differ, for all sorts of reasons, some legit and some not (e.g. inefficient configuration). Neither kinds of posts automatically mean that Unicorn/Phusion Passenger is bad: there will always be people having problems with a particular technology. That's why we encourage people who have problems to contact our support forum.

Wow, is that a dumb idea. This might be a good time to re-read hurricane expert Chris Landsea's 2005 resignation letter from the IPCC:

That's one way of looking at it. Keep in mind that it's not uncommon for electric companies to report huge jumps in electricity usage to the police, as high bills are considered evidence of marijuana growth, and have led to serious busts.

> An undergraduate math education is more than enough to teach the current high school math curriculum.

Is that an undergraduate Math degree, or a Math Education degree? If the former, you don't get training in pedagogy. If the latter, you don't get enough proof-based classes to properly understand what math is or to fully understand the subjects you'll teach.

I've noticed the biggest determinate in quality is actually packet loss from wireless connections. Reduce that with a wired connection and it stays very smooth. Also people prioritize clear audio way more than video. The real time part is what makes it difficult.
I'm not a huge fan of patents for many cases, but drug patents are something I support. Don't forget that while someone might die today from not having the drug, more people may die in the future because it's not worthwhile for a company to invent new drugs without patent protection. We can debate what is fair patent protection for drugs, but protection is essential. It's easy to see a drug that exists and ignore all that went into making it, and also easy to ignore the drugs that will never be invented because they're not worthwhile to make. It's also deadly.

http://thelastpsychiatrist.com/2005/10/if_france_gets_its_wa...

And getting mad at Novartis in this case for "evergreening" also isn't entirely fair, because up until 2003/5 India was the wild west when it came to drugs, and thus Novartis couldn't really sell it there anyway. If India had product patents when Gleevec was invented in 1995, maybe they would be on course to have the generic soon. Instead, the rest of the world is subsidizing cheap drugs for India. We invent, we pay, they benefit.
This sounds like a case of bad (Too centralized? Too incompetent?) HR, rather than an issue with having an HR department. You get what you pay for with recruiters, and more broadly HR. If you go to the lowest price resource for Java programming, HR or Accounting, expect to pay the price later.

But you did the right thing too, which is working around HR to get your name at the top of the stack. There isn't anything nefarious about doing this. You're creating your own referral, which is the best source of employees for a company.
Being "open source" has nothing to do with it. The H.264 specs are open, there are plenty of FOSS tools available, and its supported ecosystem is much more robust. The only advantage to VP8, from a developer's perspective, is in being royalty-free. But the cost borne by Google in acquiring and developing that IP dwarfs any potential royalty to MPEG-LA ($6.5mm/yr max).

Make no mistake about it, this move is a play for power under the guise of good intentions.
agreed. This is good, though: http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone...

I don't know anything about BitCoin mining, but is there a way to get lucky mining BitCoins where you stumble upon some BitCoins using less computing resources than you should have? In other words, is mining a process open to probabilities or is it a process where you churn through a finite and predictable number of calculations before you dig up a coin?

I'd have to think one of the things that would lead someone to buy a shovel is that they could get lucky and dig up some gold. If luck isn't a factor in BitCoin mining, then you're not even giving yourself a chance to overcome a negative expected value situation. It's like better a dollar on BlackJack and instead of dealing cards, they just give you back 99 cents. Nobody would play that game.
The underlying technology for Docker is LXC (Linux Containers), which is very tied to an underlying linux system. I would expect Joyent to support enough for Docker to work in SmartOS before MS would/could in Windows.

Oh, I found it in their FAQ:

> Versioning.

> Docker includes git-like capabilities for tracking successive versions of a container, inspecting the diff between versions, committing new versions, rolling back etc. The history also includes how a container was assembled and by whom, so you get full traceability from the production server all the way back to the upstream developer. Docker also implements incremental uploads and downloads, similar to git pull, so new versions of a container can be transferred by only sending diffs.

I get it now. They support features which are comparable to features found in Git. Similar to how Apt and RPM are just like Git, because they also have the same features.

What I don't see is specifically git-like functionality, which would be incredibly useful for anyone who packages deployments of OSes, applications, configs, etc. For example, with Git you have a workspace that allows you to work with a tree of files, make changes, make specific commit logs for specific changes, merge, compare, search, etc. From what I see of docker, it's all just "how do I move my already-built containers around" functionality, and of course a shell-script (or specfile, or debian rules file) replacement called a Dockerfile.

There are lots of deployment solutions out there. What there isn't is a handy way to manage and track the assembling and customization of your various things-to-be-deployed, independent of the platform. A deployment tool that did that would become very popular.

I think a previous HN article of a 10 minute routine of body weight exercises is a better program for many than a weight lifting routine for cardio and maintaining body weight. I think body weight exercises are often overlooked. Pullups, situps, pushups, pistol squats. Also add a jump rope for little weight, portability, and requires little space. I don't see too many fat runners, gymnasts, or cyclists. Power lifters, Olympic weight lifters often have a lot of fat with muscle. I like a pyramid type routine of starting with 1 pullup, 2 pushups, 3 situps, and repeat doing multiples ( ie then 2 pullups, 4 pushups, 6 situps, ...). For jumping rope remember to alternate the weight bearing foot like a boxer, jumping with both feet together takes more energy and I find lactic acid builds up faster.
Indian firms should have huge R&D budgets and in order to get those budgets investors must see a potential return on their investments. (...) In order for the economy to grow more money must be kept in the country and not allowed to be siphoned off by foreign companies.

I think you could do a periodic table of html elements, but the author hasn't done it here - at least not the "periodic" part.

For instance, I'd expect "head" and "body" to be in one period, and "thead" and "tbody" in the same groups of a different period. That could put "table" in the same group as "html", with them both being "container" periods. (with "iframe" being in the same group as "html"/"table"?) "fieldset" looks like it should fit in there somewhere also, possibly with "legend" being an equivalent to "title".

Then you'd have periods like "block elements" and "inline elements", with e.g. "blockquote" and "q" being in the same group for each. Ditto "div" and "span" - which I think should be in the same group ("overly generic elements"?), not in the same period as the author has them.

Similarly, "dl", "ul" and "ol" are 3 list periods, with "dd", "li" and ... "li" in the next group - where "li" being a repeated element is an interesting bit of information you could extract from such a table.

Note that I missed "dt" in the list elements periods above, but then there's a similarity between the "dl", "dt", "dd" period, and a possible "tr", "th", "td" period.
Surface of that moves about 18% of light speed, closer to what I was hoping to find.

I gave your post up after the first paragraph offered a "detailed critique" on the multimedia keys. Claiming that as a programmer our multimedia keys should be build and deploy commands is not only a personal preference but a short sighted one at that.

"Do what you love" comes with caveats BUT ... you didn't do what you love.

You said what you love is building a product. However, what you chose to do is be an entrepreneur. These are different things.

You took on a combination of building a product and building a business.

If you had just built a product, without the necessity of having to make it a business, then I guess you would be much happier.

>SBM is a collection of trained physicians writing about the problems with non-scientific based medicine.

The guys clearly have an agenda, and their opinion of what is "non-scientific based medicine" clearly goes against NIH, a top medical research organization. One is free to pick a side, a top medical research organization or the alternative :)

> You totally failed to address the content of the article.

i didn't even planned on doing it. My word against SBM, even when NIH's word is supposedly not enough? Are you kidding?

>On your link: It is a summary of chiropractics, along with a summary of studies discussing what treatments may or may not help. It is lacking substance and has no new information that was missing from the SBM links.

exactly - summary by NIH is just some fluff that is "lacking substance". Man, i rest my case.
Yes. While I have nitpicks with some of the form advice that Rippetoe gives, I think his book is meant for, and very good for, any beginner to strength training and powerlifting.

2 years ago I was pretty weak and had a lot of lower back and knee problems. I did Starting Strength for about 6 months (as a beginning linear progression program, it's not meant to be done longer than that) and then I switched to Jim Wendler's 5/3/1 program which is a more intermediate program with cyclical progression and monthly deload weeks.

In that time, I have gained over 20 pounds of muscle mass, added over 100 lbs each to my max squat and deadlift, my posture is much better, and my back and knee problems have almost completely gone away.
A keyboard critique without even touching the keys, nice. 15 minutes fame IMHO.
Folks on the SR and so forth are fully aware of this. There are people offering incredibly technical solutions to cashing out. And there are also some incredibly simple ones. You can buy cash in the mail for bitcoins. You could sell bitcoins in person. You could use OTR or localbitcoins. Most of these have pretty small risk profiles.

But if you are even more paranoid (which perhaps you should be) you can buy fake ID, fake documents, anonymous drop offs and so on. You could even buy an anonymous swiss bank account on SR last I checked.

There are several people making money just selling consultancy for secure cashing out on the silk road. I think it is pretty interesting.
I felt like that too. My country payment options are lacking, api has some old bugs and shortcomings like no SKU search, taxes system doesn't fit for many business that have products with different tax type, no multilang, and plenty of ugly liquid and js solutions.

Also, checkout has a small legal nitpick here in europe, where a check has to be somewhere and in shopify is not. That means plenty of EU stores might be in a grey zone. Same with cookies in the checkout, but that's another story. I guess they will fix it but i guessed that 7 months ago.

I like Shopify in many ways, but after two (small) stores with them i have two main issues:

- EU distant. I feel US market is the main thing for them and EU is left behind using weird solutions for complex tax cases or pricing, few payment gateways, and so on. The checkout issue ilustrates this.

- Pushin new features while not fixing old ones. Shopify 2, Shopify Payments US, and now the POS are the examples. Meanwhile my app has to do crazy stuff to sync my products ids with their native ids.

Said this i will probably keep using it but Prestabox is tempting me for the next project. Any experiences with it?

Also, Shopify guys, the 15 days in advance warning for an api change in mid august was nice!

These hard to find switches deliver a superior typing experience over cheap rubber dome keyboards – without deafening your neighbors in the process.
Well yes, as soon as a creature needs to expend energy to obtain a thing they plan on using later, another creature is going to try to obtain it in a simpler way: by stealing it. And so, even apes and birds have a concept of 'property': things that are theirs, usually cached food, that they will take pains to hide and/or defend.

With humans it isn't quite so clear. The default societal structure for humans is the band, which is basically an extended family unit. In a band, property is shared by the group. If a member of another band sneaks in and takes something, that's theft and will result in retaliation. So a concept of property exists at the band level. But I don't believe that individual members of a band have stuff they are allowed to use but no one else.

It's only in more complex societies that private property at the individual level definitely exists. But these societies also have some form of government, even if it's just a tribal chief.

So if by 'property' you mean private (i.e, individual) property, it's not quite so clear which came first: property or government.
