FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.

How to set up your own OSRM backend with Docker on Windows

The OSRM docker quick start provides a great explanation on how to set up the container: https://hub.docker.com/r/osrm/osrm-backend/

Yet - for Docker on Windows minor changes were necessary for me (otherwise I'd get "File not found" or "Permission" errors).

This is how it worked for me:

1. Pull the image

c0ldlimit

# Create a new repository on the command line
 
touch README.md
git init
git add README.md
git commit -m "first commit"
git remote add origin https://github.com/c0ldlimit/vimcolors.git
git push -u origin master
 
# Push an existing repository from the command line

PdfLatex is a tool that converts Latex sources into PDF. This is specifically very important for researchers, as they use it to publish their findings. It could be installed very easily using Linux terminal, though this seems an annoying task on Windows. Installation commands are given below.

• Install the TexLive base

sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-base

• Also install the recommended and extra fonts to avoid running into the error [1], when trying to use pdflatex on latex files with more fonts.

Synopsis

At the top of the file there should be a short introduction and/ or overview that explains what the project is. This description should match descriptions added for package managers (Gemspec, package.json, etc.)

Code Example

Show what the library does as concisely as possible, developers should be able to figure out how your project solves their problem by looking at the code example. Make sure the API you are showing off is obvious, and that your code is short and concise.

semantic commit messages

see how a minor change to your commit message style can make you a better programmer self generate {docs,changelog}, add context to the changeset, enable filtering (e.g. ignore styling or documentation changes), and liven up the commit history!
