1. Have kids.
2. Have them at school by 7:30am every morning for a decade.
3. Wake up at 5am on a Sunday and congratulate yourself for being a "morning person" by questioning your life choices.
That's because the word is generally considered juvenile - something a child of 2-12 would probably find hilarious. And despite how you might tell them to pronounce it, I'm pretty sure they'd end up calling it "doodoo" anyway, at least mine would.
Take that manager salary and switch to 'Developer' and the salary drops by a few grand, at most. Maybe in some companies - but I'm the lead of a project, responsible for multiple devs, projects, etc, and I'm only getting a few grand more than a dev who's only responsible for their own work...?
I'm surprised no one seems to have mentioned this earlier. Everyone's arguing about what image the icon contains and thinking of imaginary folks who are using computers for the first time after coming off a ship from a lonely desert island.
Back in 'teh day' when my icons were all cutesy skeuomorphs, my computer came with maybe a dozen apps and most of them were on my desktop. Now, I have over a hundred sitting in my global Apps folder alone - never mind user Apps, sub folders, etc.
This gets compounded even more on phones - on my iPhone, I've accidentally placed 1Password next to the Settings app - both have a grey background with a circular center. Settings' center is grey gears, 1Passwords is a blue ring with a keyhole. On examination, they're not similar at all, but I can't even begin to tell you how many times I clicked on when, meaning to click the other - even _knowing_ the differences and kicking myself each time.
I think a lot of what the designers are trying to do is create an icon that stands out visually, and is easily found from amongst a large set of other icons, rather than trying to impress upon us what its functionality is from a metaphor.
Awesome site, thanks for posting! I'm in the the same boat as the OP and just happened to see this thread pop up while investigating, so this at least serves as a good source for comparisons to relatively more expensive options.
I tried sshfs but it's a bear when searching a large remote repository (dev environment is on a t2.micro EC2 instance with a repository of a couple hundred megs, including assets).
I keep a local copy of the repo, which allows me to work even without access to the cloud dev environment and makes searching orders of magnitude quicker, but still saves changes to the remote environment whenever I save a file in Sublime.
It's not perfect, but works well enough for my current workflow, so thought I'd share.
The scene with 'Ghost City'... still sends shivers up my spine. Seeing it on the big screen for the first time in '95, I was blown away.
While it does give us some visual information about the birth of cyborgs (using a female body, causing the mental conflict of finding a cartoon robot 'sexy'), there aren't many movies that will take an almost four minute musical interlude showing random city scenes and the rain falling...
I think it ties in perfectly with Kusanagi's introspection, her pondering on exactly what she is, what the 'ghost' is, etc.
I don't think any of it is wholly original - from Neuromancer to Blade Runner, but it definitely stands on its own as a beautiful film.
