This has worked pretty well for me both for service control and pre-execution environment setup : https://github.com/just-containers/s6-overlay

There is also good old supervisord, but I haven't personally used it in containers yet. https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/multi-service_cont...

What happened to you in Bangalore?

It is the most common way of explaining an aspect of the relationship between Atman (the individual self) and Brahman (Universal Self) in Advaita Vedanta school of Hinduism. https://www.indianetzone.com/38/ayam_atma_brahma.htm

I understand storage, but could you elaborate on why there would be higher network stability with Openstack?

As mchaver suggested, if you do want to look for remote work, I have a list of sites that can be of help :

This is off-topic. But for anyone interested, the manga series "Jin", by Motoka Murakami has a very nice depiction of some of the health issues in Tokyo towards the end of the Edo period. The protagonist is a doctor trained in modern medicine, who gets sent back in time and we see his treatment efforts without modern equipment or medicines.

Actually, it is a pretty common Indian name (Sandip or Sandeep). The 't' at the end is probably the first letter of his surname.

I recently came to appreciate this as a novice programmer learning Lisp. After working through the initial chapters of 'Practical Common Lisp' and 'Land of Lisp', I settled on DS Touretzky's 'Common Lisp: A Gentle Introduction to Symbolic Computation'.

The pace is very comforting for a beginner and the reiterations are meticulous in detail and yet concise. For any beginner, the joy and confidence from being able to grok simple concepts and finishing all exercises provides the impetus to move on to tomes like SICP, 'On Lisp' and 'Let Over Lambda'. I would highly recommend technical authors to study the prose and content layout in this book.

For pinned/app tabs, it can be enabled by setting browser.sessionstore.restore_pinned_tabs_on_demand preference to true in about:config.

I disabled Ghostery but still needed to unblock requests to Facebook and Google that Disconnect was blocking.

A bit off-topic but Ankit is a boy's name in India. And yes, that's how many communicate, often using teenage girl lingo.

I work with a hosting provider and Cygwin is used all the time to provide SFTP access on Windows boxes. Haven't looked at sshwindows though.

I hope now you can concentrate better on your other endeavours. Good luck!

For me, the internet feels like connecting to a larger consciousness. In a crowded city you can be lonely, even with family, friends and your significant other - a special kind of intellectual(?) loneliness that goes away in your virtual community.

HN feels like home. I lurk here, without commenting or participating, without coding or doing a startup. I bask in the warmth of human insight and intelligence, witness our triumphs and tragedies. It feels good to see people struggle to succeed against odds and their dedication to their craft. Feel-good high!

I second that. For more terminal apps, check out kmandla's blog: http://kmandla.wordpress.com/software/

Worry not! Despite the "crazy nationalist streak" that you see online, Indians are actually one of the most critical of their government. Ask literally any Indian on the street about governance and hear the expletives fly.

So they are more than aware of corruption and poor governance. Except - they have tired of the doomsday predictions heard since 1947. The down votes are probably because the 'cancer' symptoms are brought up ad nauseum in Western outlets as reasons India (as if its a simple monolith) failed.

Like pg said for startups: If you feel that you will fail, you stop working and then that becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. I think this applies to a country's psyche too, like it does to founders.

I have been an Arch user for about 6 months now. jumped the ship from Gentoo. Since I like to stay bleeding-edge, on Gentoo that meant often-broken packages that took a lot of time to fix. Arch has been very smooth till now, despite my using a lot of AUR packages.

Agree. Just starting to learn pre-programming - unlearning bad habits from school where every year we wrote the same bunch of programs, once in BASIC, Pascal, C etc. The only thing I had liked then was Logo. :)

Unrecognized service.

Thanks for the suggestions! Now I have a starting point. Didn't know about Hole In The Wall, so one part is

1. unfettered access and exploration. 2. Edubuntu and Hacketyhack. 3. I'll browse around for webapps and tutorials.

I try to steer clear of articles such as these but got fooled by the submission title. These attempts to paint the world in such broad strokes may seem to provide information in easily digestible forms but are useless, being just one step higher than black and white or good and evil.

No matter how appealing it may be to simplistically classify millions of people like that, the devil is in the details always. We can just begin to form some crude models with an in-depth study of the economies and sub-economies (and sub-sub) of the world (a humble attempt here: http://www.gapminder.org/ ), let alone their equally complex social and political data.

And despite the authors' beliefs, we are still evolving in all spheres - political, social and economic. Today's liberal views can yet be viewed as conservative in the future when better *cracies will form, very many of them from the so-called second and third worlds.

I first saw this in Robert Full's TED talk. http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/robert_full_on_animal_mov...

Wow. A slashdot link in many months on HN. Telling.

Having gone through a similar phase recently, I can relate a lot to this guy. In my case, I was just plain lazy and irresponsible. For me, sitting about and wondering about 'the purpose' was a way of justifying not working in my grad courses. How many people really do manage to find their purpose in life? I would take SamAtt's insurmountable odds and extend them to every second of life. In all the moments that you have till death, you can do so many things, sitting and moping should just feel wrong. (I wish I followed my own advice.) I don't know the guy, but I feel such thoughts arise from an easy-going and leisurely life. People growing up with uncertain futures and/or troubled circumstances/times (in the so-called Third World) seem to be much clearer about what to do. Making meaning of your life is much easier when you have a hungry family to feed back home. You can't be bothered about your 'true calling' then. I don't know which case is better for an individual's peace of mind. Being more aware of one's mortality can help, perhaps.

Well out of date or not, for someone like me who's learning the sysadmin ropes and will be sitting for interviews very soon, this is extremely helpful.

Its not definitive, still experimenting. Might change my mind you know. :)

Thanks for clearing this up. Because I have been wanting to keep a cat since forever. Taught me not to jump to conclusions without research.

Memories are things of the past. They might comfort you when lonely or make you nostalgic. More important than searching for what brings us happiness would be knowing what happiness itself is. Is it just a feeling of elevation, of euphoria? I would consider a person happy if his mind is calm, devoid of regrets of the past and anxieties of the future.
