We are working on T160K https://t160k.org/ which is crowdfunding sustainable and meaningful development in Africa by focussing on arts and culture. Another goal of the project is to promote a positive and vibrant image of African culture through our campaigns and messaging. One of our projects that initially got me excited about the idea is the Timbuktu Libraries in Exile https://t160k.org/campaign/libraries-in-exile/

Hey thanks for that well thought out review! We will be discussing all the feedback here in the coming days.

It could also be just part of our zeitgeist and the link you are making is coincidental and not influenced or paid for by shark tank's investors. I think to prove that there is a shark tank connection, you need to research the author's bio a bit more, article history, and prove that this author repeatedly writes pseudo articles that are marketing pieces... and you have not done any of that research.

Docker, CoreOS, and the entire ecosystem are moving really fast, it is a bit hard for me as a developer to keep up. For some projects we are creating containers with Docker and will need to get some things into production as soon as Docker 1.0 is declared stable.
At the same time I want to switch to CoreOS, I also want to wait just a little while for blogs, tutorials, and tools to catch up to where CoreOS and Docker are at, and be usable in production by people who are not professional devops.
The most exciting thing for me in this post is CoreOS CloudInit. It seems to be one of those tools that a small shop could use. It looks a bit like the yaml for fig, but is something that could be used in production as well. At the moment, I have been trying to solve everything a bit on my own with Makefiles, which include Makefiles for custom variables and Makefiles for commands that can be run against each container. It is working great for dev, but I could never really see how to run the containers in prod. The Makefiles didn't really seem like a prod solution, but CoreOS CloudInit looks like it could work.
We also skipped boot2docker and use vagrant with ssh, so seeing that there is a Vagrant box which will run just like an EC2 box is pretty exciting. I would be excited if Digital Ocean would start supporting CoreOS too.
[edit] Quite a few people would like CoreOS on Digital Ocean - http://digitalocean.uservoice.com/forums/136585-digital-ocea...

just when I thought I was being original! I probably just needed to rant a bit

You will save so much time developing node if you install Ubuntu with virtual box and vagrant. All are free, and then you can really participate in the os world without having to hack everything to work on windows.

I've started using Make to build and run docker containers in the dev environment. It's not the perfect tool, and neither are my skills that great with Make, but it sure gets the job done and enables docker commands to be shared between devs. For example this Makefile (still under development) for PostgreSQL https://github.com/GlobAllomeTree/docker-postgresql/blob/mas...

Also, airbnb's synapse looks pretty amazing for linking and service discovery as mentioned in this comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7443803

I have been enjoying some of the tutorials on the Century Link Labs blog: http://www.centurylinklabs.com/category/docker-posts/

To be clear - I think FreeBSD is an awesome project and the jails look solid, but it is really the Docker community and exploding Docker ecosystem that makes Docker appealing to me. For example, Red Hat embracing Docker means that I can build Docker containers for enterprises that embrace CentOS and Red Hat. None of the corporations or organizations I have worked with use or support FreeBSD, but they all support CentOS. Reference: http://www.infoworld.com/t/application-virtualization/red-ha...

Why not implement a simple algorithm:
If your past 5 comments have not gotten more than 3 cumulative upvotes from ranking users then your commenting is throttled to 1 comment per day
If your past 5 comments have a cumulative negative score your commenting is limited to 1 comment per week
There is no pending comments list, only a message telling you: sorry, try to post higher quality content to be able to comment more often. You will be able to post another comment tomorrow / next week
New users are limited to one comment per day until they get at least 3 cumulative upvotes in the last 5 comments
