Some naive questions if you don't mind... (I'm really curious about RAC .. my only DB experience has been small MySQL and MS SQL Server clusters). 1) I thought the really high end DBs like to manage their own block storage. Your N

So this is like boot2docker ... on Windows? You have a VM and you have containers inside it. This is not the same as containers on baremetal. But that is fine .. my confusion is the OS inside the VM. Is that Linux or Windows? Normally, I ca

I've done remote like this for the last little while. I was pleasantly surprised that my employer was okay with it. Turns out, if you are competent, employers usually don't want to lose you. Bigger question ... do you want to work

It is kind of silly ... in tech, we've got all these amazing tools that enable people to work remotely. I've seen people checkout even though they come in to the office, and people work like superstars while they are remote and wo

Cool, commendable effort. One frustration I have is the (possibly soft) requirement for showing your work ala github profile or something else. I've noticed quite a few job postings where they ask you for a github profile. All my code

Thanks for sharing. I didn't discover electronics until I was much older. I did, however, discover a passion for software at a young age and that has been one of my true loves. In software, I have deep interest and am decent at it. I c

I have a PhD in CS from a highly ranked school (systems) and work for an industrial lab (6 years out of school). I make the same as a fresh graduate from Waterloo from recent empirical evidence. It is just dressed up differently ... the fre

The set I've been pining for is the Motorized Bulldozer[1]. My hope is that Lego will reissue it one day. That said, as a Lego fan, I've started getting pretty annoyed at the company for their "special parts" and limited

Not sure why the pessimistic poster is being downvoted. Factoring for repeat viewers, it is sad how little society values scientific achievements. That said, I was up in the wee hours of the morning watching the LHSC start up and probably p

I had a nephew who got excited when he saw HR done on watches. We did some research into accuracy and were surprised to find that the light-based tech used in many devices does not give you accuracy when you are running or generally moving

So keeping containers from different users on the same host is a bad idea (think VPS setting)? Why? I thought unprivileged containers in the newer versions of Docker are pretty secure. Is there an issue giving root access in this case?

I wonder about the ethics of a related scenario ... get a remote person to login to machines to do installs and manage. In this case, the remote person gets paid in Rs but I guess that is okay since their cost of living is in Rs (not in the

I'm a schmo who bought a Google Glass and accept this was a bad purchase. I bought it for one app ... the ability to cast a video to my parents via Google hangouts. Google took this feature out after my 30 day return was over. Now, Gla

Nice. What framework are you using?

Why does the fig documentation emphasis development environments. Isn't fig a general orchestration tool for deploying containers on a single host?

I'm also a bit confused. Let me give you a specific scenario. I have a windows .net application that works with windows 8 (no gui - some server side stuff). Can I package this up as a container and run this on a linux machine that has

I'm a bit confused. Typical office hours at YC are surely not public. I presume these were made public as an example. I recall PG did this and even accepted a startup into YC based on a short conversation. Why is this bad?

Heh ... it is the other mainstream "hot" language. I was looking for a language to move to post-python. I love python but the 2.7->3 jump has been annoying. More than that, I felt I needed static typing for the next big system

Interesting question and response. I haven't used either but read about both systems independently. A bit more googling and I found: http://www.slideshare.net/gschmutz/kafka-andstromeventproces... Slides 42 and 43

Are you sure? I used to live in MV 5 years ago. Was in a decent apartment 20 minute walk from the Google campus. The rent used to be around 1700. I checked the price for the same apartment complex a few days ago on a lark ... over 3K! 2 bed

Ha! We share quite a few lego models. I probably "invested" 2K on Legos so far but have recently slowed down purchases. Following instructions for building models seems to shut down a part of my brain and just destresses me. Not s

Wise words. Institutions peak and trough. People get caught up in the storied history of past institutions (myself included). Rationally, what matters is the now. If you are at an institution that was once amazing but is now a shadow of its

People don't always optimize. I've known two people in this situation who left money on the table. Even if you quit on Jan 30'th, that's one month of money left on the table.
