IMO one thing the author could have improved about the article is to make a more clear distinction between a Dockerfile and a docker image. What you say is true about builds in docker: using the `docker build` command to create an image f

> In order to hit peak child, every subgroup will also have to hit peak child. This is an interesting argument; thanks for sharing it. I didn't understand it right away and my intuition was that you must be incorrect. But after play

Something not addressed in this article is that not all tools are equally useful. Many tools aren't well suited for your problem; some tools aren't well suited for any problem. A wonderful discussion of tool-making is Mike Bosto

Fascinating and counter-intuitive that so much information is 'leaked' in light patterns that can't be discerned by the eye. There's a color-amplified visualization in the first embedded video of TFA (starts at 1:40) tha

I found this article [0] a couple weeks ago and found it informative. Basically Consul has service discovery built in, while Zookeeper et al. expect you to build service discovery on top of the primitives they provide (assuming you need it)

I'm not sure it's possible to cover such a polarizing breaking-news issue in a way that's not "skewed". Intelligent people will read the same memo and interpret it in different ways. It's too soon for anyone to

Thank you for including such a thorough and approachable conclusion. As someone with no background in statistics, it helped me understand the content. Genetic mutations seem to have similar properties (by analogy). Most don't 'wor

I was pleasantly surprised by this article after being primed by the click-baity "listicle" title. One claim that stuck out to me: > [As several hundred million people moved from the countryside into urban areas] ... Wages and

Odd choice for the name, since Kodak also has a color negative film called "Ektar" [0] which is just a single transposition away from this new phone's name. [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ektar

I'm having trouble understanding the relationship between two pretty abstract ideas: this one, and the Richardson maturity model [0]. Are the two futures at odds? Kinlan seems to be imagining annotations embedded in Hypermedia, so that

Reductio ad absurdum: I assume your variable names are single-letter, your Python is indented only one space per block level and every C program is a one-liner? You should check out the Code Golf stackexchange; you'd do well. Kidding a

Perhaps a substitute could be "stretch the sphere open so you're standing in the middle of it", with your arms outstretched on either side of you. Although this might trade smacking yourself for smacking your neighbors.

Historically, yes, but current usage has relaxed. See [1]. Personally, I read the title to be a pun on "30 minutes or less", a phrase American pizzerias sometimes use to advertise guarantees about their delivery times. The book is

I was familiar with the problem but didn't have a name for it; thanks for providing me with one. What kind of work has there been on creating programming paradigms that make it easy to both add new types and new methods? Is it a CAP-th

Once, I used Emacs. All I did with it was play in the land of elisp. I never got any real work done. Then, a passionate friend converted me to Vim. I only ever used it to do battle with my .vimrc. I never got any real work done. Now, I use
