Re:Why would anyone choose Docker over fat binaries? on Sunday October 29, 2017 @01:32PM (#15580291)
Writing a dockerfile successfully is maybe that. But learning to make a dockerfile should take someone a day to figure out. What the entire movement is about is creating an ecosystem around a common standard for dev ops.

Companies don't have a moral responsibility to do that, but it's a smart retention strategy. If good devs feel like they're learning useless non transferable skills, they'll be more likely to leave for the sake of their career. If they feel like the business is investing in them, they'll be more likely to stay.

Couldn't you do that without involving cryptocurrency?

How does that change the fact that the bills are at the end of the month and you could just not pay it?

That's great.

That's fair. I was particularly referring to the 13", and more so referring to how the article specifically was in context of someone switching from an air to the pro. They all seem to have gone the route of thinner and sexier while sacrificing "proness," though.

It stands (presumably) for professional, so it seems very reasonable for professionals (in this case programmers) to discuss how useful it it for them. As I'm sure digital musicians are talking about how well it will work with logic.

> If you think Esc then I is the future of programming tools, I don't know what to tell you.

It's certainly not the complete future of programming, but it seems like we'll be in the command line and remoting into machines for a long time. It's condescending to write off those concerns as being "in the past."

Great site. Two points of feedback:

1. It blows up browser history. Every movement of the countries shouldn't make a new browser history entry.

2. It'd be nice to have continents too!

Other than that, very well done.

It appears you can't opt into it permanently? I'd be interested in finding out if you can just set it to always show function keys.

The person who reviewed this may have been a programmer, but the review doesn't seem to be in context of programming. I care about how well I can work on it, not now well it works with remotes.

> The MacBook Pro is more an evolutionary than a revolutionary upgrade over my MacBook Air.

That seems to sum up this review. The macbook pro is a successor to the air, not the old macbook pro.

You're at the point where there's only one person out of 5 other original people you want to work with left?

Even if you got the other person out, do you think you could execute with just that one other person?

"Idea/direction wise it's going quite well" - Is it though?
