Thx!

How does packer compare to boxgrinder?

Actually ansible doesn't even need python installed initially, it has a "raw" mode which you can use to boot strap the installation of python.

Is there any way to migrate running containers to another physical machine if you need to do maintenance on the underlining system?

Intuitiveness aside, the other major issue with enterprise software is the efficiency of use, and how out of touch it is with the task at hand. They slow you down considerably IMO.

e.g. having to tell the app things it could just figure out, sloppy focus that requires you to fuss with the UI, having to input a lot of text in small text box that won't resize or spell check it, having to manually click a button to auto-complete, modal dialog boxes that block you from reading important info in another pane, uselessly vague or incorrect error messages for easily correctable problems cause you to waste hours guessing what the real problem is, returns no error message at all, oh you're using the wrong browser, oh to attach a file in your enterprise webmail you need to install Sliverlight, oh the web based wiki plugin for your enterprise document system only works on Windows with IE, oh mobile browsers are not supported, let me slowly redraw the screen a few more times due to some .Net + Areo legacy issue and hang your window manager, supports Kerberos SSO but requires to you enter a password, doesn't let you enter a username or password since it uses Kerberos SSO... etc.

Yes, the economics of the region. It's a 3rd world country, not to be trite, but if you've never been to a 3rd world country before or read anything about those places, the realities are very different than in the 1st world.

He was not paid enough to afford shoes. This is Nepal remember, not Palo Alto.

The Sherpa are an ethnic group known for being skilled mountaineers, and it is also a way some of them make a living. It's not like they're a climber helping cast.

A good friend of mine is Sherpa too, and used to do assist Everest mountaineers, he now lives in California. Kindest man you'll ever meet. He said he would carry gear all day long, and without shoes. I asked him once why no shoes? He said the mounters wouldn't buy them for him, so he didn't have any. Not sure how common that is, or all of the circumstances, but it did not sound like the mountaineers regarded him as more than a donkey in human form.

Considering how many people are involved in making an ad, it would be interesting to know the backstory and how it wasn't until it aired did they realize it wasn't a good idea.

And they don't explicitly warn their users in the App about how critical a strong master password is.

When I asked them to allow me to use a key along with my passphrase they said it would confuse their users, and then acknowledge their users aren't going to pick good passwords and would be at risk:

> A master password constructed with diceware of three or four words should be both strong and memorable, but I have to acknowledge that most users aren't going to use diceware to construct a master password. So I suppose that your point stands.

This is how the lawyers at my large company described it as well, mutually ensured destruction. If you're a big company, you're essentially forced to play the patent game.

Maybe, it has to do with this site being blue: http://www.outlook.com

Yeah, I use tmux though. I wish I had cycles to add it to tmux.

Having script run in your shell when it starts breaks X login sessions. Most terms do this actually, just no on Linux ironically. e.g. iTerm2, Terminal.app, Putty.

It looks cool and all, but I just want a Linux term than can log all output a file so I have a record of what I did. There doesn't seem to be any decent ones out there.

Love that it's responsive! I like it!

You could just as easily say TCP/IP in reality is just hype to disguise electrical and optical signaling, and prevents the user from appreciating all that goes into transmitting data, gives them a inflated sense of what's possible in the universe, and is about out sourcing data transmissions, false senses of reliability etc.

Additionally the argument that "no interface" means you won't be able to troubleshoot something is an overly literal interpretation of the age old concept. As though "no interface" is not just a design ideal, which may not always be possible, but rather a movement to force round pegs into square holes. A more forward thinking point of view would be what innovation can be made in these areas, vs. looking backwards at how things used to work.

Any benefit to fio vs. iozone?

Maybe Oracle did us all a favor by effectively forcing the dtrace folks to work on Linux. :)

Oh right, yes, that's correct. It's the destination address that counts. EDIT: @0x0 yes of course the DNS too.

Because you're sending udp packets to each hop, if it were a private network there would be no route to it.

Patek Philippe, makes some extraordinary time pieces and has a museum: http://www.patekmuseum.com/ Edit: Also, http://www.patek.com/

Although Pivotal was being led by Martiz, who has left the company.

EDIT: Although he's now the Chief Strategy Officer at EMC, so maybe that's good. http://www.emc.com/corporate/emc-at-glance/exec-team/index.h...

I've been using Sleep Cycle for a couple of weeks, and it works well and it's interesting to see graphs of your sleep quality. Makes me feel like Stephen Wolfram, who I would just assume has been doing the same:

Step number 2 is especially helpful:

2. Choose your language settings, and then click "Next."

Unix had a funny "not a typewriter" error message that eventually ended up in an Apple OS: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA31349

> Microsoft has used those patents to threaten other Android manufacturers before or make them pay for them. Google wants everyone using Android to move away from EAS, and it makes perfect sense from their point of view, to cut costs for themselves and Android manufacturers, and to be less dependent on Microsoft's proprietary technologies.

Sounds like a case of Microsoft's user lock-in strategy backfiring. They have had plenty of time to fix their IMAP implementation over the years, but it hasn't been a priority for some reason.

Yep, on an ipad Chrome, safari and whatever instapaper uses did't work.

Issues I noticed:

- when creating inky account, typed in my desired login name, it said it was already taken, then changed to ok on its own.

- notes view didn't recognize my notes taken with notepad on an ipad, and tagged with "Notes" in gmail.

- wasn't clear how to enable the different views when you're not in the tutorial.

- email threads don't include my responses, is that intentional?

Some other thoughts: Zimbra had some interesting ideas around deeper inspection of email, like looking up part number in inventory databases if they appeared in the email. They also allowed you to write plugins to parse and do interesting things with the email.

"asdf lkj;" brings back memories of the tutorial I used to learn how to type with, on an actual typewriter.
