When I first looked at the Dockerfile format, my thought was, hey, another provisioning file format to learn. I guess you could just call chef/puppet/ansible/etc in your Dockerfile and call it a day though? I have not heavi

Worth noting that US military that are stationed in Germany must take a test before receiving a US Army Europe license (they run the program for all US military in Germany) in order to drive in Germany. Based on my experience (got there in

They should have named it this anyway, it makes me immediately think of OneNote, which is an MS app that TONS of non-power/non-technical users know about. If you told someone you could put your notes in OneNote and it backs them up to

I don't have any specific info about what the parent post was talking about, but for those that were curious about Haskell's garbage collector in general (like me), here is a Stack Overflow link with some explanation: http:/

Yes, but I'd be more interested in how you put it together than the end product. A good blog post breaking your process and components down would be fantastic.

ocharles covered pretty much everything else but for PDF generation I would look into pandoc, the Swiss Army knife of document conversion. It can be used as a standalone program or as a Haskell library.

In cases where unions are involved, the terms of the furloughs are usually negotiated with the unions beforehand. I don't know about contractors specifically, but for civil servants, their unions were definitely involved in the furlou

You could build your own or you can buy them from vendors, it is actually very common practice to hook up a GPS-powered stratum 1 time server to a network. (e.g. http://www.spectracomcorp.com/ProductsServices/TimingSyn

WASD sells extra keycaps, but I don't think they sell the clear ones for the CODE. Also, the multimedia keys just emit another keycode so you should be able to reprogram them, depending on your OS. (e.g. xmodmap on Linux, as detailed

I had a similar experience, really. Do I want to use emacs to edit system files and such? Not really, I'll continue to use vim. But for programming projects and document writing I like emacs better. To be honest I think the thing t

I had tinkered with emacs over the years but mostly used vim for programming, until the past year or so when I started writing Haskell and LaTeX for school and put in a determined effort to use Emacs full time. I've found I like a &#x

I tend to use my left thumb. Seems to be close enough on PC and Mac keyboards that muscle memory works fine.

Probably soon - I ordered one on Tuesday and it shipped yesterday. I guess they're selling quickly, I saw a tweet from Jeff Atwood last night saying anyone that wants one should order soon else they'll have to wait for the next b

I'm a current Filco owner and previous Model M user. This looks like exactly what I would have produced if I could make my own keyboard. Ordered an 87-key, looking forward to trying it out.

Programming in Haskell is an excellent book, I liked it a lot more than some of the usual recommendations (Learn You a Haskell, etc).

I just tried the sname game and had the same experience (although I use ESDF for controls). My brain is not used to using my right hand for directional control. That said it should be easy to remap vim keys to use WASD/etc - although

Hamm here - after tinkering with Red Hat (5.x I think?) I switched to Debian and I've used it ever since. I still have slink CDs somewhere plus the bumper sticker I got with them, which I laminated and is now attached to my Debian hom

In the interests of full disclosure, I have only answered 3 problems on Project Euler, and I did them all myself, because I have the willpower to not look at other answers before creating my own. (I have the same username there: http:&#
