Masochism

[Chris Maunder]

I'm building Docker images on a Raspberry Pi. Not for the Pi. I'm building on the Pi. This will be a long afternoon. Anyone beat that in the sheer-bloody-mindedness stakes?

That's great, Docker and microservices are the silver bullet that will make all your problems go away :-\

I, for one, would love to hear the reason for this endeavor. After all, it might be quicker to develop an iOS app and do this on your iPhone. ;P

Same reason that people climb any mountain. Because it's there! :laugh: Chris screaming from the top of Mt. RPi, "I conquered you, you dirty beast!! Do you hear me??" < echo> :laugh:

M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I don't know Lisp (other than a brief stint with AutoLisp long ago), but wouldn't it require about 12,502 parenthesis in those 200 lines for a medium-sized program?

Consider the case when there's the solution that requires nothing more than a really big hammer and no brains, and the case where there's a solution that requires you to break out the instruction book, put on wear eye protection, and has strident warnings about not exerting too much pressure. The first one is 10 times longer than the other but requires no thought and allows mindless yelling Guess which solution I was in the mood for today.

Docker is so last week, everyone is now building AI chat bots now...

AI chatbots are sooo last hour dude. Everyone is building chatbot-exam-cheating-detection-circumvention bots now.
