   The "applications" seem now to be closed, and the linked Facebook post from the BBC source has been removed (or, I can't see it for some other reason). If anyone has more information as to the terms to which this offer was su

   Didn't Docker release this themselves (different project) just a week or so ago? I forget the name, and can't seem to find it on their site.

   I can't speak highly enough about http://tractionbook.com/ which I recently came into - it has pragmatic advice on marketing approaches and systems justifying with real data how and why to do what. It's co-written

   There had been some speculation on Reddit that it was a run of near-obsolete hardware proposed by one of their partners. Some teardown (I can't find a source now) found out that it was shipping with already EOL'ed components that

   Every time there's something that comes up for C++ I get excited, I've always wanted to use the language, but it's like tap dancing in a mine field. C++ needs a linter that rejects code that doesn't meet a certain standa

    I think the point is that if you store local time, and have a decently maintained time zone handling library, the library will adjust correctly for before/after the switch, but only if you store in the local time. Of course it can&#x

    I used this to get an idea how K8s looked when I wanted to migrate ~500 lines of docker compose YAML config to k8s. The result was sufficiently confusing that we threw it away, but it was helpful to get an idea what we were looking at, and

    From the title I understood this was a feature that had arrived in QEMU, seems like it could have it's place on development machines/etc where the only reason you're using a VM is to get access to some alt. architecture.
