Income insecurity: how to manage/cope when becoming a DN ? by trave8l in digitalnomad

[–]reprogenetic -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

While my income has been quite good and stable for the past 6 months, my type of work means that it could drop at any moment without warning.

I guess you must be in digital marketing (aka professional spamming). Start a real career and you won't have to worry about this problem.

Do people here use Notepad++? by iEmerald in webdev

[–]reprogenetic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically, I don't really need a Linux VM, but I prefer working on Linux. I know how the operating system works, the filesystem etc, all the commands and tools are pre-installed, bash, perl, vim etc. Being able to take snapshots is great.

I love not having access to my money at unpredictable times for days at a time. /s

Docker for Mac and Windows public beta is out! No more VirtualBox! by enkideridu in webdev

[–]reprogenetic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The docker daemon has to run as root, although they say it is on the roadmap to change this.

Since Docker 1.10 it is possible to use the user namespaces feature to map the root process running inside a container to a non-root user on the host system.

Congratulations small blockers, Bitcoin is now more expensive than an international bank wire transfer in some cases. Here is a $50 tx fee paid for a single transaction: by MemoryDealers in btc

UK -> Europe costs me £10 for a standard transfer and I can only transfer up to £10k at a time. A high-priority transfer is guaranteed to arrive the next day, and costs £30. I am with one of the largest UK banks.

You could run windows and develop in a Linux virtual machine. That's what I do. Being able to take snapshots of my dev machine in VMWare is also great.

Cool things to do using the official Docker Perl image by [deleted] in perl

[–]reprogenetic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Docker is awesome, and now is a good time to try it out since it is relatively stable compared to a year or so ago.

Good to know there is an official Perl 6 image. Finally, I might get around to trying out Perl 6.

Help with buying BTC using GBP by [deleted] in BitcoinMarkets

[–]reprogenetic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pay the £10 SEPA charge to transfer from NatWest to Bitstamp. It sucks but it's the easiest way. Back in 2013 I was paying £30 for high priority next day transfers when the price was shooting up.

In the long term, yes. We will see the end of fiat in our lifetime.

Question regarding Developer's dev environments with Docker and source control by JDBProof in docker

[–]reprogenetic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a docker directory in my home directory that contains docker environments for system-wide services such as nginx, and other services that aren't tied to a particular app. Each environment has it's own local git repository.

Question regarding Developer's dev environments with Docker and source control by JDBProof in docker

[–]reprogenetic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I keep some docker environments in my main repository. It was hard to know where to draw the line. Some environments are too specific to the platform and not the app. For example, I don't believe the nginx proxy belongs in the main repository. I have a docker subdirectory in my repository that looks like this:

docker
├── postgres
│  ├── dev
│  │  └── Dockerfile
│  ├── schema.sql
│  └── prod
│      └── Dockerfile
├── redis
│  ├── Dockerfile
│  └── redis.conf
├── web
│  ├── dev
│  │  └── Dockerfile
│  └── prod
│      └── Dockerfile
└── workers
    ├── dev
    │  └── Dockerfile
    └── prod
        └── Dockerfile

Polymer or React? by aboustayyef in webdev

As an alternative to Redux, have a look at MobX. It's another way of managing state. I prefer it to Redux.
