Trivial(?) CSS question:

I have two css files master.css and cool_stuff.css:
- have a background image in master.css (bg.svg)
- have a second background image in cool_stuff.css (smileyface.svg)
I want the second image to be placed on top of the first. I.e. smileyface on top of bg.svg. I think this should be possible with layering but quickgoogle+5 minute test didn't yield any results. Can't get to the code until Monday.

If someone has a good guide on "html+css+images (positioning)" that would be appreciated as well.

It's all a bit blurry because I tried doing it before realizing I had to hustle away from the computer to catch my train but I remember that I got it to work with colored boxes but images created problems somehow.

So I guess I'll try that and just add
background-image: url(../images/bg.svg);

etc. to get the actual images instead of the boxes. Thx.

Might already be similar to the code we're using though, I'll check the files and repost Monday if I can't get it to work

How to not get paralyzed when using VPS? Start by picking one of the many distro-options:

Ubuntu - I have an emotional aversion, so that is out.
CentOS - Sure, I've heard good things...
Arch Linux - The only one I can actually use, but... I don't know.
Fedora - Red Hat?
Debian - Heard good things.

So, (roll a die) Debian?

My mbp was constantly timing out from my router for the last few weeks and it was tilting the ever living **** out of me.

Decided I was ending this issue tonight and it ended up being caused by my router auto selecting an overcrowded channel. Thought I had the software to view local wifi channels being used, but couldn't find it so I just randomly picked one and I went from about 30%+ negative pings to 0.

MIT's SICP is awesome. I'm a noob, so it's hard for me to make sense of some of the programs, but I'm still learning alot. Would be interested in starting a study group if we could find enough participants...

Deep in your heart you know that you want to go with the BSD (I'll just assume there is one)

Debian is a fine choice especially if all the stuff you need is in stable.

To be honest, I probably would do BSD but its not available.

Debian looked like a good idea until I saw "stable" meant "years-old version." Not in the mood to learn its flavor of tarball management.

The documentation for Digital Ocean is plain awful, and in parts, likely wrong. Arch so happens to be a distro I am familiar with and also has the best documentation I've ever seen, so I spun up an Arch64.

Last night I decided to be a man and type in all the commands to chroot nginx. That was stupid.

How many times do you end up nuking the server before you decide this VPS may not be your cup of tea?

Keep on blowing up nginx, going through all the info I can find, and I honestly cannot isoloate what the issue is. I mean, I'm afraid that running nginx w/o chroot is too dangerous, but what the hell can one do if it refuses to work under any circumstances?

Hey guys, so wondering about some career stuff. So I just started an MS in machine learning at GATech, but was checking out the jobs today that are out there and noticed that while the "data scientist" jobs seem to pay the best straight out of your program, the job that looks like it might have the best promotion track is called "product manager" where you're basically a feature designer who knows how to code. I'm not super concerned about my salary straight out of my program as long as it's decent, but want to eventually get promoted out of being a dev or start a company. Would focusing on HCI be a better bet?

First thing I'd try as well...also if you ever get it to work and can't find a vagrant file...might be a good idea to create one

Which reminds me that FML I wanted to understand and use the whole DevOps stuff more but haven't since.

Personally I'd just concentrate on the tech side, if you're good at that the rest will take care of itself imo so ML, AI, anything statistics etc.
