Kinda off-topic, and you might be the wrong person to ask, so, sounds like a plan! Which hypervisor would likely be the best on Ubuntu 14.04. It'd be for a single, fairly low-utilization system. Looks like 14.04 has support for Xen, KVM, and VMware. As I said, low utilization, virtualizing a couple of linux boxen and a single Windows box.
Everyone else feel free to join in on the discussion (i'm probably breaking all kinds of site rules, aren't I?:) It's a greenfiield setup so I'd like to start with what the folks around here might recommend.
If one of the choices is correct by a very margin, let me know that's the case and I'll go checkout that path. Thanks!
I thought I saw a study that showed sleep debt not to be as cumulative as in this guide, that the amount needed to catch up topped out at something like 10 or 12 hours. I don't have a link, though, so I guess my post is equally suspect :)
I also don't like that it's harder to tell if shift is on or off, now. Pre iOS 7, at least it went blue. Now it goes from black on white to white on gray, I still couldn't tell ya which is which. The case of the keycaps changing with the state of shift would fix that, too.
I read the story and didn't notice anything about rejecting candidates due to their age. He mentioned the ages of a couple, but it didn't seem like anyone was ruled out because of it.
Ya, that pop up when the page loads is pretty annoying. Also, the first link in the post is broken (the url displayed is correct, but the underlying href is not).
Probably from people wanting to take advantage of free computing power. From their website: Write, compile, and run code in most programming languages ... is a free service ... currently 288 cores, 1.2TB RAM
Awesome, I must thank you for that link. I've thought about it several times over the past year, but could not remember his name or the video's title. So, thank you.
Rather than forgotten, I would guess the owner died. Their arrangement in the cans suggest they were being saved over a period of time, which makes me think it was someone's personal savings and he simply died with no one knowing about the stash.
Are Phonegap and Titanium the preferred way to go for cross-platform mobile development? If not, what are people using these days? (I don't want to hijack this Ask HN, so please ignore my question if I already have a couple of replies.)
I understand the fact that it can be fairly expensive to run a large, popular module site such as npm and rubygems. What I'm curious about is how they intend to monetize npm, and how it affect users, if it does. Typically, VCs hope to get a return on their investment.
I don't think there are, or at least I've never heard/seen any around. I do, however, receive UPS shipments almost daily, and scheduled daily pickups.
It seems weird that they let the US Post Office make the final leg of the delivery, when the destination is literally next door. I understand the reason behind it, it's just odd from a human perspective.
You're right, I should mention this to Amazon, not the folks here :) I have otherwise received good service from them, which keeps me coming back. If I cancel my Prime membership, I will continue to use Amazon pretty much the same way.
I've been a Prime subscriber for years now, and have recently been reconsidering my membership. The free 2-day shipping now frequently means 2-day free to the local post office. Once there, it's usually another couple of days before it gets to me (and my office is literally next door to local post office). Not cool, Amazon.
> We are talking about whether the name is a good choice, right?
Not entirely, or at least I wasn't. As to whether or not it's a good choice, you are absolutely right, how it's seen by your potential audience is important.
On the other hand, it could be an opportunity "take back" the meaning of "bro" by putting it into common use with a harmless meaning. I would rather the word "brogrammer", with its baggage and any link it may or may not have with "bro", fade into obscurity.
Thanks for those, very cool and useful! Every time I see blog posts like the above, and comments like yours and others, it reminds me just how much stuff I either don't know or should learn more about.
I would argue that intent is all that matters. If people want to foist their interpretation onto the word, that's their issue, not mine or the author's (if he wasn't relating it to "brogrammer" that is, I can't speak to his thought process).
The vast majority of people would consider "bro" a substitute colloquialism for "dude", and such. And, I would be willing to bet that that is how most in IT would take it, too.
I agree with you. People are imparting their own interpretation of the word. When I skimmed the web site, I didn't notice anything relating to the whole "brogrammer" thing.
Just because it starts with the same three letters doesn't mean anything. As already stated in many other comments, "bro" is also, and more commonly, used as a substitute for other colloquial words such as "man", "dude", "guys", and is frequently gender neutral.
These niggling complaints of offense where none was intended is indeed getting old. The author's intent is what actually matters, not how someone else interprets it. A reader gets to choose whether to be offended by a word or not, he doesn't get to choose the author's intent.
It took a loooong time for my client to sync, but last night it finished and showed your transfer, and at least now I am assured it's working. Thanks again!
