The stewardship of community contributions seems particularly poor in Docker. One of the more frustrating projects I have tried to help, and is really the only red flag. The promise of docker is awesome. See this thread (and previous disc

Copying files willy nilly without any etiquette around packaging doesn't seem like a good standard to me.

Interesting, but only seems to go half way. Half the battle is getting library maintainers to package things in a sane manner. This alternative has been working really well for us so far: https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods It has the

It works on the Mastercard PayPass hardware. Adoption is already pretty far down the road on the POS side. EDIT: Go here to search for Paypass merchants in your hood: http://www.google.com/wallet/where-it-works.html

Original paper is here if you want to judge motivations: http://www.bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf At the current value, they are already rich and probably not forlorn.

If it becomes a runaway train towards this endpoint, this would give bitcoin >10x current M1, while retaining the ability to pay in $.01 increments. This should be sufficient for the near term ;)

Had the same experience with Appcelerator. Not knowing Objective-C it was a lot easier to get ideas into code quickly for prototyping, but when I ended up having to read all of their source and writing custom modules to get what I wanted d

The problem with this approach is that you can only remember a few passwords like this, which means that you are going to reuse passwords on multiple sites. One site compromise can compromise multiple accounts for you.

Firstly, my comment was qualified with the word 'philosophical' not 'practical'. Secondly, many people have different understandings of capitalism, and pop culture has continued to remove meaning from the word, which is probably why you are

Agreed, which is why I tried to couch it in 'philosophical' argument. Discussing the various factions of socialism, anarchism, libertarianism, etc is always fun, but rarely leads to anything productive. I am just glad that we currently can

It is very simple. A purely capitalistic society can contain, tolerate, and even encourage totally egalitarian organizations in any form the participants deem prudent. A purely socialist society on the other hand cannot tolerate capitalis

If it is a rule, it's a rule. There is no reason why every law could not be broken down into one page. Right now ( in the US) we have these massive changes that are encompassing thousands of new rules or modifications to existing rules. T
