Throughout this tutorial, we've worked with readymade docker images.
(Prefabrication)
My goal with this tutorial was to whet your appetite and show you the power of Docker
so if that's your deal, feel free to holler there

I’m a little surprised by how many people tell me they have no hobbies. It may seem a small thing, but — at the risk of sounding grandiose — I see it as a sign of a civilization in decline.

As far as office confessions go, that might seem pretty tepid.
The post proved unusually divisive, and comments flooded in.
Reactions split between those who felt Etherable was cheating, or at least deceiving, the employer, and those who thought the coder had simply found a clever way to perform the job at hand. Etherable never responded to the ensuing discussion. Perhaps spooked by the attention
At a moment when the specter of mass automation haunts workers, rogue programmers demonstrate how the threat can become a godsend when taken into coders’ hands, with or without their employers’ knowledge
The promise of automation, touted by optimistic economists and sanguine futurists, has been that yielding work to machines would eliminate the drudgery of mindless, repetitive labor, freeing humans to fill our days with leisure, creative pursuits, or more dynamic work.
Auto-automation had erased menial toil, reduced his stress, and let him pursue his actual interests.
Two weeks before he left, he handed his boss a diskette loaded with the program and documentation on how it ran.
Yet many self-automators are afraid of sharing their code outside the cubicle.
Even if a program impeccably performs their job, many feel that automation for one’s own benefit is wrong.
And most employment contracts stipulate that intellectual property developed on company time belongs to the employer.
Jordan says he and his colleagues keep a tight lid on their automation techniques, to maintain control over how they’re used: “We generally keep these tools to ourselves.”

After that I would mostly just browse forums and do absolutely jack shit at work.
(Do you know jack shit? )

Just few lines of configuration and we have two Docker containers running successfully in unison.

These are the nuts and bolts of hundreds of important projects.
Additionally, many popular email clients have bastardized email to the point where the only way to use git+email for many people starts with abandoning the email client they’re used to using.

That might seem like a lot of steps, but with the command-line tool for EB you can almost mimic the functionality of Heroku in a few keystrokes.
In the next (and final) part of the tutorial, we'll up the ante a bit and deploy an application that mimics the real-world more closely; an app with a pbrsistent back-end storage tier.
The idea of bundling a process with its dependencies in a sandbox (called containers) is what makes this so powerful.
We want our application to also generate our minified Javascript file for production.

The live video was scheduled for 6 p.m. local time on Sunday, which is 3 a.m. in San Francisco, where Facebook is headquartered. But on Friday, Chang backed down.

And I don’t think it was just Microsoft. In the late ’90s, most tech companies were seen as imperious
They often left consumers to deal with the frustrations of inscrutable interfaces and abysmal tech support.

From an operations standpoint, apart from portability containers also give more granular control over resources giving your infrastructure improved efficiency which can result in better utilization of your compute resources.
This tutorial aims to be the one-stop shop for getting your hands dirty with Docker.
Apart from demystifying the Docker landscape, it'll give you hands-on experience with building and deploying your own webapps on the Cloud.
Getting all the tooling setup on your computer can be a daunting task.
Thus running Docker now is a cakewalk.
A hypervisor or virtual machine monitor (VMM) is a piece of computer software, firmware or hardware that creates and runs virtual machines.

Unlike virtual machines, containers do not have the high overhead and hence enable more efficient usage of the underlying system and resources
But this isolation comes at great cost — the computational overhead spent virtualizing hardware for a guest OS to use is substantial

Why do some liberals vehemently loathe Trump?
In the political sense, I therefore define “liberals” as people who are inclusive: desirous of eliminating barriers to equal participation, very much in favor of multiculturalism, and largely agnostic (meaning they don’t mix faith and politics)
Trump is disliked by many more groups than just liberals and for different reasons: from being an amoral womanizer to a business fraud
Some liberals see him as publicity hound, always looking for the limelight and frequently on tabloid news or shock radio describing his latest sexual conquest.
Trump is not just immoral, he’s amoral.
He’s an egotistical bully.
(Egotism is the drive to maintain and enhance favorable views of oneself, and generally features an inflated opinion of one's personal features and importance. It often includes intellectual, physical, social and other overestimations.)

The snarky might say a DevOps engineer is a “server guy” with delusions of grandeur, someone who’s rebranded himself/herself but mostly just automates deployments
By bridging traditional silos with automation and collaboration, the organization can work cooperatively to construct, test, and release updates rapidly and reliably.
You’ll be constantly learning new technologies and skills that can be applied elsewhere, so DevOps will keep you from getting pigeonholed into one path.
You then need to get to know your way around their work, hopefully contribute to it, and inevitably respond to their crises quickly.
DevOps calls for communication skills and empathy — moving beyond the parochial viewpoint and attitudes of your own original role, being open to alternate points of view, and working to integrate different mindsets.
Generally, the goal is to solve those issues, tear down those silo walls, and develop a shared sense of responsibility for the health of the end product.

Many companies are adopting DevOps as a mainstream strategical tool and therefore there are ample of job opportunities for DevOps engineers.

Sure, there are some innate abilities that may give certain programmers an advantage over their peers. And others may struggle to grasp the basics. But, the barrier for most engineers looking to go from good to great is not genetics or luck.
In order to become a “rockstar” engineer (cringe), one must not only be smart and capable. You have to want it. You have to be willing to dedicate a whole heap of time and energy into becoming masterful.

Gerson Dias shares his thoughts. “Knowledge and experience come with time, and raw talent is nothing without passion,” he says.
Now, this isn’t to say that it’s all-or-nothing. There’s ground to be gained for programmers at all levels–from novice to experts
The best way to assess a developer’s performance is to measure their growth over time

Practice diffuse and focused thinking

With focused thinking, we concentrate on a particular problem or question and actively try to come to a solution. With diffuse thinking, we let the idea incubate in sort of a latent or passive thinking mode–we’re not actively concentrating on it, but it remains somewhere in the back of our minds and we continue to look for solutions or patterns.

Some problems can be solved through sheer will and concentration; but others may just require more time and contemplation

My favorite example is Google+. After an initial surge of usage in the first couple of years, the social network gradually fizzledsmothered by a reputation for low engagement.
That reputation was largely false. But over time it became a self-fulfilling prophecy as Google took repeated action to hide and suppress engagement.

Mark Zuckerberg said that “the social norms” of privacy had “evolved” because “people [had] really gotten comfortable not only sharing more information and different kinds, but more openly and with more people,” his words expressed what was becoming a common Silicon Valley trope: privacy was obsolete.

Users, who in the early days of social media were predominantly young, were largely guileless and unconcerned about privacy.

I never got addicted to Inbox myself, but am still saddened by its demise.

Recent attempts by the U.S. to curtail academic collaboration are unlikely to change this trend.
The scientific community has reacted with alarm, arguing that the scientific process requires open collaboration and that individual episodes of espionage or other inappropriate behavior should be dealt with through criminal prosecution or academic expulsion rather than blanket restrictions.

Sensationalism

Sensationalism is a type of editorial bias in mass media in which events and topics in news stories and pieces are overhyped to present biased impressions on events, which may cause a manipulation to the truth of a story. Sensationalism may include reporting about generally insignificant matters and events that do not influence overall society and biased presentations of newsworthy topics in a trivial or tabloid manner contrary to the standards of professional journalism.

Getting a PhD feels like a “safe” option: it’s a well-defined path to doing something considered prestigious.

In hindsight, all of these were part of a narrower range of skills than I realized, and many of these skills were less transferable than I’d hoped. -
