Is DevOps "the canonical" Stackexchange site to ask Docker related questions?

I think there is no such definitive list, because this is a matter of social situation and there a fluid boundaries, therefore the answer is opinion-based. Also the question itself is very "un-german". Using the words "unspeakable" and asking people to put the words in spoiler tags, imho comes across as childish and hysterical in the eyes of many Germans. These are just words after all and not a magical spell whose pronunciation will harm someone. So get ready to get dismissive answers or few answers at all, since this is a very "american" problem imho.

Although I have to say that now half an hour later, I don't quite remember why my question was that bad. I could have narrowed it to this specific case that someone messaged me and now I felt bad for hurting by not answering and my goal is to not hurt the woman....it's kinda the same question but would probably comply to the sites rules.

@JesseBarnett I think you(?) commented on the question that it were off-topic, so I went to the help to confirm that. I am using other communities as well so this is not the first time I had to read up on what specifically is allowed and what not. Had to "check my ego", but I guess it increases the quality of the questions.

@Oleg After reading "what questions can you ask" I decided to delete it because it is not about etiquette either. I was mostly interested in not hurting other peoples emotions but I think this is not something that can be asked here.

This might be cultural problem but this is a site for adults. We are talking about the use of language in a factual manner. If you are suggesting a term then also write that term in its full version. It is what it is. You censoring it comes across like a six year old being afraid to say a bad word because his mummy will send him to timeout.

I feel that you push the burden of proof on the Germans. Having no regulation is the simpler, more natural state. Not wanting a speed limit is not religious it's just simplicity. You must first prove that introducing it would lead to e.g. less accidents. Afaik no study in Germany has been able to show that.

@Wrzlprmft: It may be worth adding that canteens (university, school or company) do not have any policy against bringing own drinks or even food and it is common to see some of the people eating their own food or drinking their own water.

I would like a book/blog/website recommendation on the basics of project management. Currently I am trying to find out what two very low skilled members are capable of doing. Should I talk to them 1:1, should I try to give them several tasks? As usual the time is pressing and I can't read hundred of pages, but a summary of 20-30 would be great.

Hello everyone! Since we are not allowed to ask for book recommendations on the site I would like to ask here: I am currently working on a student project with very varying degrees of skill sets, some members do not even understand basic concepts required to understand the task. Because I am the most knowledgable and oldest member I have assumed the team lead and am organizing the the meetings and steering the project, etc..

The two mentioned very long German words are not special in any sense. In German you can concatenate almost all nouns to create a new longer noun. Therefore the maximum possible length of a noun is infinite, just as the number of words that you can come up with. An analogy would be the length of sentences in other languages. There is nothing to prevent you from creating sentences that span 100 pages, it is just not practical and really hard to understand. But sometimes in formal language that happens. The first word supposedly refers to a law (..gesetz) and is an example of an official use.

I am more interested in other patron's opinions because those are my "peers". I don't care about the staff. If other users (customers) would tell me that their poop does not create this problem(@RoboKaren hinted that in a comment) or that in their culture seeing their friends poop is not embarrassing, I would rate this as a good answer. This answer ignores my culture and talks about a group of people (staff) that was not mentioned and is not relevant to me.

@RoboKaren: I downvoted, because this does not solve or even alleviate the problem, unless housekeeping visits every 10 min.

I am sorry that you have to tolerate such bad conditions of your public transportation. Nevertheless I still feel that 0% attendance speaks quite clearly on an emotional level. As others have suggested: If failing public transportation is a regular problem, establish ways to communicate your delay to the lecturer. If you don't make this effort the lecturer can imo be rightfully offended.

@tjb1 I can't imagine a city having a subway not also having enough developed infrastructure to ensure safe travel even during bad weather. Therefore I interpret OP's bad weather rather as an inconvenience and not a situation that would force him to risk your life. I find your mentioning of this overly dramatic. Not all students live far away from university and I thus find it hard to believe that all of them were absent due to the bad weather.

OK, found out that bootloader booting is the same as booting into fastboot

problemofficer

Sep 27, 2015 13:37

To clarify. I assumed "booting to bootloader" is the normal booting but fastboot offers a "reboot device into bootloader" and "reboot device normally" option so it can't be the same.

Hey can anyone tell me what the difference between booting into recovery mode and bootloader is? I have been googling for the past 10 minutes but all the result explain how to get into one of them but not what the difference is.
