bmoresbest55··on Vue.js 2.1 Released
Another Vue.js 2.x tutorial that I am currently finishing is https://jayway.github.io/vue-js-workshop/. It is a nice intro into all the important pieces of Vue.js.
bmoresbest55··on Open Guide to Amazon Web Services
Wow, this is exactly what I need right now. Thanks to the original author (github.com/jlevy I believe).

bmoresbest55··on Ask HN: Why is there a black bar added on top?
I know that this site does not deal in current events outside the tech/startup community but my first thought was an error. My second thought was the Brussels bombings. I did not know who Andy Grove. I now know he was a significant figure in the community but the black bar did clearly state that to me. In general, I don't think that some background information on the person takes away from their significance.
bmoresbest55··on Why IntelliJ IDEA is hailed as the most friendly Java IDE (many screenshots)
One of my co-workers has a 5K iMac and definitely has this issue. I will have to test more carefully to see if this is also affecting me. Does not really matter because after reading this I am definitely moving to IntelliJ.
bmoresbest55··on A Message to Our Customers
As much as I would love to believe in Apple (and any other large tech company), a part of me still thinks that maybe they are working with the government in this letter. The FBI knows that the average US citizen does not want to be hacked. What is to stop the FBI from allowing Apple to say these things and put on a show publicly while simultaneously giving over the 'master key' anyway?
bmoresbest55··on Pluto ‘Wows’ in Spectacular New Backlit Panorama
Those pictures are pretty amazing. Something so far away from the sun having so many features. It really makes you wonder how that stuff got there.
bmoresbest55··on How to Track NBA Player Movements in Python
This is pretty great. I did not realize the NBA kept this type of data on games. I wonder if the MLB, NFL or NHL do the same thing. Very cool regardless.
bmoresbest55··on The sad state of sysadmin in the age of containers
So I like this article and want to learn more about sys admin/dev ops/whatever but where do I go. Is docker bad? What is a good starting point? What are best practices?
bmoresbest55··on [dead]
"Python 'replaces' Java" plays well in the hacker community? I don't really know. It's just a guess.
bmoresbest55··on Stop using tail -f (mostly)
This is pretty awesome. I have always thought that "tail -f" was a little limited but still useful. Any how, great post!
bmoresbest55··on Myths of Enterprise Python
It may be bold but why not be a little bold now and then.
bmoresbest55··on Pigeon.ly, a Startup Focused on Serving the U.S. Prison Population, Joins YC
Yup. I just listened to this podcast yesterday it was quite good. Nice to hear about someone that made something good out of a bad situation.
bmoresbest55··on Myths of Enterprise Python
Python is very much an established languages and myths like these need to go away in order for people to feel comfortable using python for serious, well designed projects that scale and do every and any thing that a person may want or need. Great post.
bmoresbest55··on The new MacBook
I find the complete opposite. Xtrafinder side-by-side view and everything else advertised by xtrafinder does seem to work great for me. Totalfinder might still be better as I have not tried it yet. They both look like fine augmentations of finder in general. What else are you looking for?
bmoresbest55··on Java Runtime updater now installs ask.com toolbar on Macs
This is the number one thing that I uninstall from my computer and friends and families computers when they accidentally click too fast. These kinds of add-ons are incredibly annoying.
bmoresbest55··on “Citizenfour” Awarded Oscar for Best Documentary in 2014
I do not know how any of the other films even had a chance. This was the clear winner.
bmoresbest55··on Fuck It, I'm Going Back to Firefox
It is funny. I just switched to Chrome and find it to be much quicker and less resource hungry.
bmoresbest55··on GitHut – Programming Languages on GitHub
Java developer learning Django and playing with Node, React and Angular. 3/3.
bmoresbest55··on If Carpenters Were Hired Like Programmers
I really enjoyed the post. I reminded me a lot of this Youtube video(http://youtu.be/BKorP55Aqvg).

I understand this is a comical post but as the son of a carpenter and understanding the profession decently well I would say these are none of the questions that would be asked of a carpenter.

There are however many important questions a person would need to answer to be hired as a carpenter or more likely be able to join a union. There they would be able to get experience and training. Then the company the union carpenter work for already knows the skills and abilities they have and there is really no need for any interview. Any GC or sub asks for guys to do a job. The local sends them the qualified guys. Pretty simple actually.

bmoresbest55··on Microsoft Acquires Calendar App Sunrise for North of $100M
I just started using this app. I hope that they don't shutdown the service and make it Microsoft only. Keep with the way Skype is going. Fingers crossed.
bmoresbest55··on FCC Chairman: This Is How We Will Ensure Net Neutrality
This is very nice but I hope that it will be able to withstand the impending lawsuits by the ISPs. One can only hope.
bmoresbest55··on PyPy 2.5.0 released
This is very exciting. I will have to look into using PyPy more regularly.
bmoresbest55··on Sandstorm – An open source platform for personal servers
I am not really sure why this is so exciting to everyone. I have seen a couple comments asking what this software does, explicitly. I will admit I like the idea of personal servers but I am not sure how to apply this potential amazing software to my life. Suggestions?
bmoresbest55··on Cultivated Disinterest in Professional Sports
> I'm glad that you enjoy that, and its great for you. I'm not sure why that should dissuade anyone else from choosing not participate in the ritual of fandom in the particular professional sports that are widely popular, or why the fact that you enjoy it should make it "troubling" that other people choose not to engage with it.

I am not trying to dissuade anyone from anything. All I am saying to be more open to the way other people may think or have passion for. Also, from the actual post, the author correctly summarizes that sports can be something too bridge gaps between all types of people. So in effect, you are saying people do not want/need this capability? The ability to be able to talk to another human being able something mildy to fanatically interesting?

> No, it is easy to ask anything. It is also unreasonable. Friendship, if it is to be meaningful, is a positive commitment of time and resources. Everyone can't be friends without robbing the term of all meaning, because there are too many people.

You're right because I just asked it. Also, the definition of friend is relatively broad and I am half glass full kind of guy. Finally, you may taking my comments and possibly yourself a little to serious, my friend.

bmoresbest55··on Cultivated Disinterest in Professional Sports
As a person who has played many sports and specifically basketball to a college D1 level I find this article both true and troubling. This is because I also enjoy discussing things at a high level. I enjoy the fact that I can talk to a person about Turing tests (or any CS related topic) and then turn the conversation right into how the Baltimore Ravens need better defensive backs for next season (Baltimore/DC fan here).

I think that people who engage in elitism are extremely petty and self-centered and I have told the few that I come across so. No one is better than any other person based on their passions or interests.

I just want everyone to be friends. Is that so hard to ask?

bmoresbest55··on Ars Technica Was Hacked
Just saw this. Immediately, left and hoping for a quick recovery. More and more just keep on falling. Is it really that fun to bring down other people? I don't understand it. Truly.
bmoresbest55··on Online Labs Designed Its Own ARM Servers To Take On AWS, DigitalOcean
We see disruption everyday in the tech community. I do not think that will change anytime soon. They have a compelling product that I personally would like to try.
bmoresbest55··on Firefox Developer Edition
The download is taking so long! Apparently this is highly desired?
bmoresbest55··on Quest to Track Every Shot in the NBA Changed Basketball
As a basketball player/sports fan and computer programmer/ tech enthusiasts, I love to see people post these types of articles.
