if nothing else is different, then you can still use rvm inside the VM. If they are different environments (one is a colo rack and one is an AWS instance) then you would want 2 vagrant boxes to more closely duplicate each environment.

what other companies are in that scene that I wouldn't have heard of?

by awongh 14y ago
I found this: http://www.solcomputer.com/pixel-qi-display-2.html but the price is apparently $800. I agree- I would fund a kickstarter for this.

that is some really cool tech. I wonder if the camera reads the player's numbers on their jerseys when they go onto the court? I could imagine a cool realtime consumer version of this for all kinds of sports where you get an instant replay

Not sure that's a great example either- a new SIM gives you a new (local) phone number. If I'm only overseas for a week (or other short period), and especially if it's for business, it's a whole lot more convenient for me to pay exorbitant

Not true actually: a urine sample from 1999 was tested later on (after they had developed the test for EPO) and found to be positive. Also, he tested positive for cortico-steroids (which was annulled with a and he also produced 2 separate "

It seems like a simple fix would help make this more secure in the real world: orientation- make it more difficult for a contact lens to work (now it has to be rotated in the correct angle) I can't think of a reason this would be hard to im

absolutely there are those cases, maybe it was just an over simplified example. Although I also wouldn't say that it simplifies your code... What it does is make the api to that class/object more explicit. At the very least you are keepin

by awongh 14y ago
I understand about making code more clear, but I'm not sure adding complexity/boilerplate solves that in every case- the even more extreme case would be to do away with the class entirely and just have a hash type property that gets passed

Will this mean that they'll finally get a real website? I'd love to be able to browse my friends' photos. It seemed to me that the complete lack of functionality on the single photo page (not even a link to your home page?!) seemed like a b

I can't help but think about the logical extreme of this type of trend, which is to put the server rack itself outside- what components would you need to weather seal or protect against the elements? There are fans and disks that have movin

Did anyone else notice that they seem to be saying that foxcon makes 100% profit? It costs them $7 to manufacture everything, and they get a $7 profit. Is that right?

It's true that a growth economy is needed in third-world countries, but the curve is also steepening, so it's not as if we need another hundred years of similar progress in order for everyone to come closer to parity (that is, the curve of

by awongh 15y ago
I would say that the OP understands that a growth economy is not the end-all be-all of human progress, and in the end may not be ideal. Maybe it's not about imposing a way of life on other people, but realizing that the underlying philosoph

One thing he doesn't mention is that Tokushima, is, I believe, something of a backwater, It's not even on honshu (the mainland of japan), wikipedia lists it as the 86th most populous city: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Japanese_citi
