This is how it worked out for me. I tried to build the system myself and note the abstractions, edge case. It didn't make me an expert in all things but gave me the right questions to ask. As you do enough of these your expertise will

Am looking forward to the book. Read the first one in the early mid 2000s and it changed my view of programming forever. Java in the modern climate isn't the best choice anymore to do this. The move to a less class-centric approach is

The books are similar but very different at the same time. Martin's book takes an application focused approach. How do I think about changes to my data in a distributed environment? You can see this thinking in the projects he's

That's a pretty big 'if', though. Hiring good people is difficult. Having bad people is more common and that may be the justification for methodologies. They don't exist to make good people more productive but to make me

This methodology is an effective way to leverage the developers in your team. It does rely on a certain discipline that juniours often don't have to drive and refine an exploratory solution into production code. It requires curiosity,

I can understand the frustration. Been watching this space to see a plausible story on having storage volumes available to containers from any host. Histpath and emptydir aren't really acceptable as solutions since they add complexity

Long way to go in catching up with Azure and AWS in relation to market share not in capability. I should have clarified that.

ECS wasn't too bad. The approach they took made sense when it first came out but Amazon haven't evolved the idea since then. Personally I think that GCE's edge won't come from their container support since AWS and Azure

First off, I'd like to say that I think this is great and we need more books in this space. I hope this can be seen as constructive criticism but I do have a few comments on the layout and content. 1. Free chapter - perhaps chapter one

The ClusterHQ guys behind the FlockerHQ found this out the hard way [0]. Initially Flocker was meant to provide a container data migration tool on top of ZFS, now it is a front-end to more established storage systems like Cinder,vSan,EBS,GP

The logger in me appended hostname and the tty to the file name and the log message. You could also add a user name to this as well[0]. I love this idea because you can easily analyse your commands then modify or automate your workflow wher

I love the jvm, I love the tooling and the ecosystem, but Java I do not love. The author presents many of Java 7/8 features as a reason for Java's greatness. The language features of Java 7/8 are really not that compelling.

Canon is known to do this alot. I think the magic lantern software illustrated this quite well when they started unlocking raw capabilities in cameras as old as the 50d, a ten yr old body. Upgrading your camera becomes a frustrating ordeal.

Speaking mainly from experience, kubernetes isn't that hard to get set up. Unfortunately the documentation tries hard to convince you otherwise. Leading up to Kubernetes v1, getting set up was quite painful but the api is now stable. S

The title is slightly misleading but not entirely. Docker was, at first, a container technology. However, after it received its funding it has tried to convince the community and investors that it can be more and started to provide containe

Any word on how far off Docker extensions/plugins are? Haven't seen much recent talk on the github issues raised around Dec. The pace of Docker interoperability is frustratingly slow

Kubernetes is going to become the standard api for container orchestration only because there are no other tools out there trying to do as much. There was a vacuum around container orchestration tooling and Google got there first. Kubernete

There's a fair bit of overlap between what OpenStack/LXD does and Docker/Kubernetes or DCOS do. Both technology stacks have approached the problem from different directions. Kubernetes is trying to be the standard for contain

Moving from what the book describes to a real workable system is a bit of leap. I remember hambergs.no article. It helped immensely and I ended up writing up my own system with a few personal tweaks. GTD has many interpretations and many im

His comments on logging are spot on. It's the only part of the post that I can agree on. You can get process monitoring as long as your tools are cgroup aware. Network monitoring is not so easy. This has been pointed out on the docker

Not necessarily. It has little to do with learning to speak in a higher status manner. The comment box doesn't allow for a clear concise explanation but the language shift is something that the brain does on a subconscious level. A per

This looks like an interesting project. The struggle I've had in the past with similar libraries is the level of extensibility provided by the API. It's not clear from he docs how to add your own custom viz. I would love a d3 base

Accuracy aside. What do you you if you need to look at your keyboard to find an unfamiliar symbol. I can touch-type fairly fast but my error rate goes up dramatically when typing non-alphabet keys. What would be neat is if you could bring u

Raycasting brings back memories! I remember poring through raycasting techniques to make my Wolf and Doom clones as a teenager. When I was almost done I demoed this for a group of friends at our school's computer club and boy were they

As a teenager I collected dictionaries for this very reason,it was exciting because each word became more than the sum of its letters but a treasure hunt that would last hours. Halfway through the article I thought he should just use an old

Agree that job market demand is better a metric to gauge a languages longevity. Which language skills are employers throwing their money at? Added a few links below for programming language job trends for Java and couple others. The source

Been using gitlab for solo dev at work and at home for everything that needs tracking, not only coding. Like you, attempted an install and gave up and used bitnami in the end. The only disadvantage is that the bitnami installers are a few p
