I understand that my comment sounded unnecessarily glib, and for that I apologize.

If you read the book, Peterson actually attributes the culture, especially early on (which as you said, is often set by the founders/first-hires, and while Peterson wasn't a co-founder, he was I think the first or second employee and related by marriage to a co-founder), to the fact that they were all conservative LDS types from Orem/Provo who graduated from BYU.

I certainly am not trying to say that ALL Utah businesses, all LDS businesses or all BYU grads in the 1980s or otherwise were like WordPerfect. That said, it would be silly to pretend that in this case, religion had no role in the culture (and Peterson outright said as much in his book, so this isn't even a debate point). To draw a parallel: I grew up in Atlanta, which is largely Protestant. Chick-fil-A is one of our staples , and as we all remember from the controversy a few years ago, a company VERY rooted in the whole Southern Baptist thing.

Put aside the whole same-sex marriage nastiness for a second (and trust me, as someone who loves Chick-fil-A, that pissed me the fuck off and made me very angry at the corporation), that company has a VERY distinct culture. Going beyond the whole closed on Sunday thing, people who worked there had to keep to a very specific set of standards while at work. To its credit, the company didn't enforce or try to push religious beliefs down employees throats (my boyfriend freshmen year who was a store manager was an atheist into industrial metal), but at work you couldn't wear certain kinds of clothing even underneath your work shirt. Guys couldn't wear hats backwards in the kitchen (seriously), shirts always have to be tucked in, there was a policy on language and what music could be played, even after hours (though as long as someone from corporate wasn't there, I think people get away with it), like, it's this whole thing. I tend to think some of that stuff gets kind of creepy, but to its credit, Chick-fil-A is probably the one fast food restaurant where the employees are competent and friendly 9/10. My point is that although I wouldn't brush all companies run by a Southern Baptist with the same brush, to ignore the role that that religion has had on Chick-fil-A's culture would be obtuse.

Similarly, to ignore the impact of a self-described conservative LDS hardliner from Orem/Provo had on the culture at WordPerfect is obtuse.

Certainly not all Utah or Mormon businesses have the same culture, but WordPerfect certainly seemed to ascribe to principals that are not at all at odds with what a hardline LDS guy born in the like 1950 would do.
Some problems I currently have with docker.

1. Dockerfiles are to static

You cannot start the docker build process with an variable (eg. a var that holds a specific branch to checkout) in your dockerfiles.

2. Managing the build process,starting and linking of multiple images/containers

I started with bash scripts then switched a tool called fig. Even though fig keeps things in a simple config file for whole setups I cannot use it because it does not wait for the DB container until it's ready to accept connections before starting a container that links to it.
So I'm back writing bash scripts.

3. Replacing running containers

Restarted containers get a new IP, so all the linking does not work anymore. I had to setup a DNS server and wrap the restarting of containers in bash scripts again.

I had no big issues creating a private registry after the ssl certificate was created correctly.

I am curious if the author has tried it against other servers, such as a vanilla Apache server.

Google's webservers, including the TCP stacks themselves, may be very aggressively tuned to make sure you get the response absolutely as fast as possible, at the expense of re-sending packets more quickly than specified.
Isn't it just as much about deployment though? The thing about docker is that deploying your new app basically means stopping your running instance and starting a new one. You actually don't even NEED to stop the current running one if you have something above it that just knows which instances / ports to route traffic to.

I think docker is about ease of deployment. You still use the same server you just run a different command. As opposed to creating a new image and spinning up said image.

You can imagine roll back / migration is pretty easy in this case.
Intro to Docker
Ok, that makes sense. For your workload (large and elastic), I guess I can see the advantage of using docker to quickly provision a newly created vm (assuming the vm's role is completely provided for by just that one container).
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS upgrade from 12.10
Well, there are several. I am not sure where to start. But I guess the most fundamental problem (to me) is this: at the core of the app are "implemented algorithms". Right? What is exactly "implemented algorithms"? They are just "software". The app is just ill-defined at its core. If you are selling software, then call it software.

Another thing is. Implemented algorithms are useless since they solve no real-world problems. For example, take an implementation of Dijkstra's shortest path. No real-world problem can directly use this implementation. It will have to be modified and adapted to a specific situation. This means customers will have to figure out somebody else's codes and modify it. Why don't they simply write it out themselves while consulting a classic algorithm textbook, instead of buying it?
Yes I have ran that command, I have docker registry running, then I wanted to clean that port and so I put nginx infront and let it proxypass... and have a onename alias for the host that serves the registry so its used by all the machines.

But then you see the hostname is confused for username by docker. Argh crap so it cant be clean, at least has to have fqdn. Or port number.

Its stuff like this man. Documentation should say it "we dont want you to use other registry than ours docker.io its possible but nah". Another issue is, how would you set to use private repo by default? Hm? And never hit docker.io?
I would have guess it to be a scam. Why does the State of Delaware use a Birmingham, NY address?

The irony goes so much deeper.

While "extreme sports" types may not themselves drink Red Bull, the "non-extreme" people who do drink Red Bull are very sensitive to the notion that Red Bull is authentically associated with such sports/attitudes.

That is, they demand their products properly represent feelings, experiences and capabilities that they themselves do not pursue. And you see this in all sorts of markets.

People who will never serious hike demand "authentic" (or authentic-appearing) hiking boots. People who will never push their computers' limits demand high-end parts. People who will only listen to over-compressed audio will demand high-quality stereo components. Etc.

"An obvious initial complaint in applying these findings to humans is that people typically do not eat sunscreen."

Yet the story begins with anecdotes about smearing it all over three year old kids. The author apparently does not have children.

One convenient probably fairly low risk solution for sun exposure is clothing. Cuts back a lot on mosquito bites and minor cuts -n- scrapes. I've been told over and over that my baggy pants and baggy long sleeve shirts will give me heat exhaustion on the hiking trail, exclusively by people who refuse to try it, and are instead smeared with a 1/4 inch layer of sunscreen and bug spray goo which makes them look more miserable than I actually feel. This probably won't help on the beach but for the other 99.9999% of life time it does help. It is true that they can survive 90 degree weather when I quit at 85 degrees, but when its 85 degrees out, going for a couple mile hike in direct sunlight is not my first choice of leisure activity anyway, so it doesn't really matter.

Personally UV caused cataracts leading to blindness or a financial death penalty scare me more than a mere easily detectable and removable skin tumor, so I reach for the UV proof glasses before I even think about sunscreen anyway.
Lyft: Uber scheduled, canceled 5,000 rides to hassle us
I can give these two piece of advice.

1) Don't delude yourself into thinking you're "changing" the world (for some ridiculous definition of changing). It's most likely that you aren't. Focus on the business fundamentals.

There's an awful lot of startups making very ho-hum products -- small incremental improvements to existing things or dead end paths that nobody would ever possibly want. They've convinced themselves and their VCs that if only the entire world starts using their chat app or appointment reminder, that world peace would break out and we'd live in a Bill and Ted future where Rock music unites us all. They then build a business model that actually requires some percentage of humanity to get on board with their app to become profitable.

They also forget that to the VCs, they don't care about changing the world, the company is the product and in the end the company will be sold for parts to the highest bidder. The business needs to optimize for this case because this is what the end-game looks like. Not a neon colored future where everybody is playing air guitar and peace and tranquility because they used your app.

2) If you're bringing lots of technology into the startup, it's not necessarily an advantage. Technological debt can absolutely cripple you. And by the time you've realized it, you're completely out of money and left with old technology that nobody wants.

I know of a more than a few startups that get kicked off with a million lines of existing software. They think it's the matter of some source clean up and some new paint on the front end and it'll be easy street. Inevitably, they spend most of their VC investment bringing this legacy to market and getting customer #1. Feedback from early customers is positive, but with one caveat, "this software needs to do x, where x requires a fundamental rewrite of the entire product. By the time a decision is made to start a ground-up rewrite to support x the company is a couple years in and has lost all of the momentum a startup needs when coming out of stealth mode.

rewrite = reboot of the company.

You accomplish the rewrite, pitching it as the next version, but shifting entire technology stacks doesn't feel like a version bump to the customers (it's a huge investment for them as well). All the sales activity you've done over the last year is also junk, unless you feel like supporting the old and new versions simultaneously, and you probably don't have the resources to do that well.

By the end, you're out of VC, coasting on what your sales team is pulling in, but not moving revenue in enough of a positive direction to exit or raise another round. You try to sell it on the cheap and recoup the VC, but buyers are wary of the now very old technological debt you've accumulated and the small customer base you're bringing to the deal. Along the way you pick up some very onerous, non-friendly software licenses for some of your components -- %of gross revenue or something even more onerous like GPLv3 which makes your entire technological investment worthless. Buyers doing due diligence decide not to buy. Your company is a zombie at this point.
Right now everything is for free and we'll always have a free version where you can learn and test with a good amount of learning materials.

Comments and feedback about courses and questions are very welcome! thanks!
The principal difference is that the virtual machine contains everything whereas you can spawn a container for all the components of your infrastructure.

- It's easy to restart a container if it crashed and container can be tested individually before being pushed in production.

- An application will not mess with the configuration of another app (that's solving the problem of virtualenv, rvm and apt incompatibilities).

- The application is not tight to a physical machine, a container can connect to another machine instead of the local one just by changing the routing or environment variables if everything is done properly.

It's the UNIX philosophy applied to applications, everything must be as small as possible, do only one task and do it properly and I think that's part of docker's popularity.

However like most things, it's not really magic and it must be designed and maintained properly to get all these benefits.
For tax reasons. Badum tsch.

I agree that scapy is bad for just general packet capture and injection. However, it's a good tool to use for packet dissection and construction.
Why does something like that takes months to resolve? Shouldn't these systems be in place to be more efficient? :\
You might want to try systemd-nspawn (http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-nspa...). It is much more bare bones than Docker, but in some use cases that might actually be an advantage.

Yes, definitely. We are adding new questions and learning materials every week and we'll soon have a roadmap to get notified about new courses/learnings.

Requests and comments about courses are very welcome! We started with AWS more than 1 year ago and we are now expanding with Google, Azure, Docker and other cloud technologies.

Thanks!
Sigh I know, and I was just about to accept a share to an odesk account to review some candidates.
So in which situations would you buy something?

Not trying to be snarky or anything, I know yours is a common opinion so I'm just wondering what would be a less offensive way to test the waters?

Perhaps - do the conversation, leave some contact details, give them the papers but just say, "look, no pressure, I'll leave this with you and let you think about it." Then see how many people get back to you?

You also get 1.4MB of code, which takes 1 hour to load on a mobile connection, and reimplements functionality that host JS/Browser provides which goes much quicker ;) Most C++ code does not care about compiled size(especially with templates!!!), but JS code often does, so is written in a smaller way.

However, if that can't be done, the next best option is social proof. Gain the blessing of a high-status person. You can't really do this on your own team...

If you are a higher status member of your team and want to help team cohesiveness and make friends in the process, try using your status to raise a little the status of an undeservedly low-status teammate.
To be fair, Intel has made a lot of progress with their IGP's over the last few years. I have been slamming Intel graphics for exactly the same reasons you and the commenter before you (and rightly so), but times do change. HD3000 and HD4000 were both big steps forward, much bigger than anything AMD has shown in the same timeframe, but Intel was so far behind that they were still lacking. Haswell graphics (HD5000, specifically Iris Pro) are already pretty close behind the lower-end AMD IGP's though. If Intel manages a similarly large step forward with Broadwell, they might just step into the same league AMD is playing in.

True, but is isn't a good one, for that "privilege" employees are forced to pay 4.4% of their salary per year into the fund.

If you work out the math depending on what assumptions you make it's only worth about $5k-$10k per year in compensation so it doesn't really make up for the huge disparity in pay between private contractor and government employees.

You would be hard pressed to convince me that as it is presently structured that it presents some great value to the employee.
It's faster to type the question than it was to look it up, like you did. Thanks for spending the time doing so!
It's a race to the bottom and you're surprised that's how they do it?
I found it interesting. Some overlap and some other ideas on the challenges are here, too: http://joearms.github.io/2014/02/07/why-programming-is-diffi...
Good starting point. I think it would be great (perhaps PPallemberg agrees) to have some advanced stuff as well - that's the hardest to understand well.
Its not the same thing, containments and virtualizations.

Abit like comparing apples to oranges. Security wise KVM beats docker out.

I like lxc and systemds machinectl containers. But docker dissapointed me. It fails to be a full container.
i made a similar call a few years ago (thanks DE) and it was free ;-)
But, the answers are useless to me if they're returned as images. (And yeah, I'm aware of OCR). I'm not saying the results are returned as images right now, maybe they are, maybe they aren't, but Wolfram has pulled this stuff in the past so my trust in the service is zero.
I wear sunscreen so I don't get a burn. I'm not a particularly fair-skinned person but a day out on a boat will burn me to a crisp.

I have my doubts. Think about lock design - it's been known for a long time how to design decent locks, and yet in the US we still use these crappy cylinder locks.

Your "userland TCP/IP" comment got me excited and I started digging around. I wonder if there's some benefit in trying to port something like TCP Daytona [1,2] in a high-level language like Python. I'm curious if that will somehow advance the adoption of SDNs.

Guacamole and NoVNC are very different conceptually. NoVNC is a client for the VNC protocol that runs in your browser, and a dumb TCP-to-Websockets proxy script that you run on your server if your VNC software doesn't already support Websockets in addition to TCP. Your browser and the server still communicate using the VNC protocol, and you'll get performance no better than TCP VNC (bad performance over the internet, in my opinion).

Guacamole has much better performance. Your browser and the guacamole server communicate using a custom, better-performing protocol (http://guac-dev.org/doc/gug/protocol-reference.html). While guacamole can still connect to your server with VNC, it also supports RDP, which is also faster. Even when using Guacamole as a proxy for VNC if your guacd and VNC servers are on LAN together, because the guacamole protocol works much better over high latency connections than VNC does.

Edit: also, Guacamole doesn't use Websockets, which makes it much easier to proxy with your standard HTTP proxy software like apache, which didn't get a Websockets proxy module until 2.4 (Ubuntu 12.04 is 2.2).
The first-gen action camera waterproof case was rated for greater depth. I used it in water a couple of times and didn't have any issues. It does feel like you might need to replace it every year if you use it in water a lot (and you have to use a sheet of desiccant to deal with fogging) but it works.
Does sunscreen have to be an all or nothing affair? This seems to be, to me, the underlying assumption made on both sides of these arguments.

I live in Southern California and work by the beach. I put sun block on when I know I'm going to be outside a lot and my exposure will be high... Like most people I previously assumed. Not when I'm going to be outside for an hour. I doubt I'm killing myself in either case.
What? You have no idea what you are talking about. But anyways, thanks for the downvotes retards.
Have you actually used the service before? They have a very good upsell service for order add-ons, a lot of them with fees much greater than the $5. For many sellers, the $5 is just a foot-in-the-door sales method to acquire the customer, much like the freemium model for saas companies. They may lose money on the initial $5 order, but they make much more on the percentage of customers who purchase add-on items. This is no different than other customer acquisitions strategies, if not cheaper. See how much you need to spend to acquire a design or voiceover customer via Adwords, as an example.

Totally. As mentioned in my other comment, it can also let us deploy a bunch of applications on the same virtualized node really quickly via Mesos or Flynn or whatever.

That said, I use Docker at home too[1] because it does make thinking about things easier. I dump my blog in a thin container not because I urgently desire security (though with Wordpress I kind of do worry...), but because it lets me develop and deploy using the same tools.

When I was looking, I printed out a list of 5 independent accountants nearest me and set up a half-hour to talk to them. Some have "packages" where they charge a set amount for certain services like helping with quarterly tax filings. In my area, the prices were pretty similar whether they offered pre-set pricing or not. I ended up mostly listening for whether their risk tolerance was the same as mine. Several of them were quite eager to explain the ways that they would stretch the rules to save me money.

That sort of setup need to be handled by your VNC or RDP server itself. Guacamole will play nice with whatever your target server is doing in that regard.
