Re:“Should you encrypt or compress first?” on Thursday June 30, 2016 @09:49AM (#12008468)
Interesting. Keepass[0] (password store) compress with GZip by default before encryption.

Re:Defensive BASH programming on Tuesday December 15, 2015 @11:33AM (#10738700)
Remembering best practices for BASH might be hard. I recommend using http://www.shellcheck.net/. I use with vim and syntastic. This article talks more about it: http://jezenthomas.com/shell-script-static-analysis-in-vim/

Also, an alternative to `docker-machine scp` is docker-osx-dev (https://github.com/brikis98/docker-osx-dev). It will rsync a path into the docker-machine host.
I wonder if there are stories about running Selenium tests in production. Something in the lines of semantic monitoring (http://www.thoughtworks.com/radar/techniques/semantic-monito...)

If it is slow, use vim --startuptime to check for slow plugins on startup.
Re:NixOS Linux on Friday June 12, 2015 @07:51PM (#9709251)
Cool! Can you share your NixOS configuration file?
I wonder how would that be like with Avro. It also has JSON encoding: https://avro.apache.org/docs/1.7.7/spec.html#json_encoding

Java 10 is supposed to introduce value types, that will change the way we use nulls, check here: http://blog.joda.org/2014/11/better-nulls-in-java-10.html
Re:Facebook PathPicker on Thursday May 07, 2015 @05:49PM (#9508557)
That is great!

But when using the command, it does not work with defined bash/zsh aliases. Anyone has any idea how to do that?

Say I have "alias g=git", when I use the command "g diff", the following error happens: .fbPager.sh: line 4: g: command not found

Re:Kubernetes is going to support rkt on Monday May 04, 2015 @01:45PM (#9487717)
Yes, rkt App Container runtime is based on cgroups and namespaces. Same as runtimes of Docker, lmctfy, systemd-nspawn, lxc or (almost) any other container technology for Linux. The big difference is on specification of images. rkt introduced the App Container specification for its images: https://github.com/appc/spec/blob/master/SPEC.md#image-archi...
Also, saw this comparison of Dropwizard with Spring boot: http://blog.takipi.com/java-bootstrap-dropwizard-vs-spring-b... Interesting to understand the libs and flexibility each one have.

Re:RancherOS: An OS for Docker Containers on Wednesday February 25, 2015 @10:06AM (#9107018)
I am curious about one thing: how System Docker as PID 1 deals with reaping zombie processes?
Re:Mutation Testing on Monday February 23, 2015 @03:49PM (#9096912)
For Java there is Pitest: http://pitest.org/
Can somebody explain what is the risk with such security issues if you own the containers?
Re:A Pragmatic Guide to Getting Things Done on Thursday November 20, 2014 @04:29PM (#8638273)
There is also an alternative to GTD, it is Zen to Done (http://zenhabits.net/zen-to-done-ztd-the-ultimate-simple-pro...). It basically tries to be a simplification of GTD. Also the idea is to focus on 10 simple habits to improve productivity.
Re:Bup – towards the perfect backup on Monday November 17, 2014 @08:18PM (#8621901)
I've been using duply http://duply.net/ for a while. It is a simple frontend for duplicity http://duplicity.nongnu.org/. I find it very easy to setup. It also provides encrypted backups trough GPG.
Re:Linuxbrew on Thursday October 23, 2014 @09:25PM (#8501689)
Has somebody used it? It seems to be better to install software that is not supported by the distro, instead of dealing with PPAs.
