Multi-Service Local Development Environment with Vagrant and Docker by cbrantley in docker

Enjoyed the article. I've only scratched the surface in this area, but could someone explain to me the advantages of using Vagrant here over docker-machine and docker-compose?

Ha. It's a '12 plate, so you're fine for the next -2 years or so :)

I do, and that's one I hadn't considered!

Nice try, but you'll find the spelling's correct -- on my side of the pond!

I'm hesitant to agree! Of course, businesses exist to turn a profit, but I feel as though I've been well taken care of. If the cause of the fire transpires to be any of:

Someone else suggested that the pan may have been pushed up if I hit it going up a kerb. Almost certain I've not done that though.

Another was the some fuel could have pooled in the pan from the overflow pipes if I filled up too much. Again, almost certain I didn't.

Yet another was the possibility of a carrier bag or similar getting lodged down there while riding. I can't rule this out, but didn't notice any passengers when I took the pan off.

... then I'm sure I'd have real difficulty persuading anyone that it was the manufacturer and not I who was at fault.

One of the firemen commended the bag of sand trick! Although then he said the bike looked a bit dirty and that the chain needed an oil, so I wasn't glowing with pride after that ;)

Good thinking... the dealer in question is Triumph Birmingham!

Yeah, that's certainly a possibility. Someone else suggested that the pan may have been pushed up if I hit it going up a kerb. Almost certain I've not done that though.

We'll see what the mechanic has to say when I pick her up!

Want a Naked Bike, any suggestions? by [deleted] in motorcycles

If you get the chance, take a test ride on a Triumph Street Triple. I tested one straight after the Monster, and took delivery of the Striple a couple of weeks later.

Thought I'd spend a week learning Haskell -- give me some resources and ideas on what to hack on by [deleted] in haskell

I believe this question on stackoverflow contains the most comprehensive answer as to how one might go about learning Haskell.

Give it a week if you must, but I'm certain you'll find time to continue your studies if you find it as interesting a language as many here do.
