I've added instructions for pure python if you want it. I used docker because I've never used docker.
- stephenr 9y agoI've never used a concrete trowel to make waffle batter, doesn't mean I'm going to try it.
- charsifood 9y agoA bit of an overreaction don't you think? Especially after the OP explained that he is using docker for educational purposes and even included instructions for pure python. Seems unnecessary to continue ragging on him.
- stephenr 9y agoUsing Docker to run a tool intended for home-use (i.e. not on a server) for 'educational purposes' is like learning to shave your bikini line by cutting the neighbourhood hedges.
- monoxane 9y agoDude, I'm in highschool and wanted some experience with shit used in industry, gimme a break.
- ralmeida 9y agoNot only 'learning Docker' is a pretty solid reason, it's not even that bad an idea. I have spun up containers for simpler stuff, like when I couldn't install a certain library because Anaconda messed up the install of a dependency which depended on native code.
- jklein11 9y agoI would say the risk reward on these two are a little bit different. With using Docker on something you are just trying out you risk wasting some time and maybe some abuse from stephenr on hackernews. Practicing shaving your bikini line with hedgeclippers you stand to lose... well a lot more.
- stephenr 9y agoNotice I didn't say hedge cutters to shave. I said cutting hedges. Vaguely related tasks (cutting something shorter) but vastly different tools, materials, scale, etc
- jklein11 9y agoThis comment made me laugh so hard I got some weird looks from the person in the cube next to me. On a more serious note, if you had never used a concrete trowel before and you weren't totally sure what it was, using it to make waffle batter would give you a better understanding of what it was and what it is good for.
