Here, here, don't be frustrated, we've all made wrong choices in our life, you'll get the chance to use NoSQL for the right purpose someday.

Pointing out that men are sexist is also sexist. Just my 20k satoshi.

I'm using it at work and it's a pain. Don't go down that path unless you're writing windows applications. For anything else, use a real OS

check out https://hub.docker.com/r/zachdeibert/qt-creator/

desktop apps in docker are just a matter of mounting relevant drivers and files in the container

andreicon··on What OS should I used daily (Linux or OS X)?
with a little bit of tweaking you can run desktop apps in containers. check out Jessie Frazelle's dockerfiles: https://github.com/jessfraz/dockerfiles

edit: to answer your question: you'll probably encounter bugs and glitches, as the hardware may not be fully supported. i've heard of issues with wifi, bluetooth, power management, etc.

andreicon··on An Ode to Linux Desktop Users Everywhere
i'm reading your "about" page and thinking... what have i been doing all my life?

does stuff in ~/.bash_profile also get executed when you return from suspend/hibernation or rather just at first boot?
andreicon··on Unit Testing JavaScript Without Node or a Browser
Isn't the js vm you're running code in kinda like a browser? Anyway, searching the web for "adobe after efects javascript" yielded this result: https://www.npmjs.com/package/after-effects maybe it could be of use.

EDIT: it seems this package acts like a connector so you could (in theory at least) npm require this package, then plug in your code, dev require a js testing framework and run some tests.

andreicon··on Asking for more salary in interview , then that advertised in job description
Especially before proving themselves
andreicon··on Asking for more salary in interview , then that advertised in job description
It wouldn't be unethical, it just sounds pointless, depending on where exactly this will take place. Usually government jobs are pretty strict. Private sector jobs are also going to be filled by people who are negotiation in the employers' budget. This is just an opinion based on common sense... You can do what you want, but i'd laugh if someone asked more money from govt
andreicon··on Twitter Picks Russia Over the U.S
my bad, it's actually filed under "opinion | columnists". must be some trump supporter
andreicon··on Twitter Picks Russia Over the U.S
