Given that I cannot then run my IDE in that container
Why is that? My team works in a Docker environment, and we all run an IDE. When a new guy arrives in the team, he just runs a "docker pull" from our registry and he's up and running with everything installed in a matter of minutes.
Docker has clearly been overhyped, and we all lived our daily lives without it, but I see a lot of developers who don't make an effort to understand what it is, and most importantly what it is not, and then call it garbage.

Interesting - espcially given the convoluted explanation I read hereabouts of how to get Netbeans to work in a docker container!
I'm no expert on Docker I freely admit, but what do I gain from putting my dev environment into a docker container that I don't get from just using a conventional VM - especially when I want access to physcal devices such as tills, sensors, remote servers etc.
I can see use cases for small, independent server apps where you might need to spin up extra instances to improve load handling or to increase capacity. Or for starting up small web-based services quickly, being able to relocate them to other hardwre for failover etc, but I get all that already with existing VM technology...
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it is rubbish, I just can't see how I could make effective use of it.

Me neither... Not that I got how it is connected to Docker...

No. It can be run or Linux or Mac too... However for windows you need 64 bit with virtualization and 7 or better...

I tried installing Docker, several times and nothing happened; no warnings, no errors, nothing so I started doing research and found that it required 8 or better. If this is not the case maybe I just tried to install the wrong product?

To be honest - never installed it on Windows... only from the installation instructions understood that it goes with 7 too... however the procedure is different as much as I understand...

It needs Windows 10 Pro. I did ask the guy (forgot his name) who wrote the introductory article to add this information, but never got an acknowledgement of my message.

There are several solution to run Docker... The new one (Docker for Windows) needs Windows 10 or 2016 (it is actually built in since 14393)... However there is the Docker Toolbox (older) that can go for older Windows (back to 7)

You right - the version the article points to, needs 10 and Pro and 64 and VT...

I asked my friend to book tickets for a movie today.
I just noticed, He had messaged me this:
We got 6:45pm & 7:00pm shows. What's your preference?
This reminds me of two things.
1.The useless dialog prompts dumb softwares pop up.
2.The slacking developers, who doesnt want to get something done on time.
Will drop a question while leaving for the day.
Next day when I assume the work is done, he would continue from the question. 
For the original movie timing options my friend gave, I replied:
"Mate, this is so unfortunate. Please see if there's a show available @ 6:47 or 6:48, else lets drop the plan"

Here in the UK it would be "We have 2pm today or 8pm next week".

I want a wireless mouse and I doubt between:
A) Logitech MX master 2S
B) Logitech MX anywhere 2S
No need to travel with it.
I use to put my hand on the table and move the mouse with my fingers.
I know this is very personal and so, but I'm curious about it...

|

Not the first one.
I'd rather be phishing!

I use Logitech M187s. I have had several over the years. (I currently have 3 operational, one more yet to be unpackaged.) I mouse with fingertips, forearm and heel of the hand resting on the desk. The M187 is small and light, ideal for fingertip use. Also compact enough to use on a thigh, armrest, whatever, when on the move.
My personal 2c worth...
Cheers,

I'm having the predecessor of the anywhere in my laptop bag. It's useful for bringing along, but it's to small for me for daily use.
At home I'm having the Marathon mouse, it's good enough for most usage, and the batteries lasts for years (really).
If I would go up in price I would go for the MX Vertical since it's better ergonomically.
At work I'm having a Contour RollerMouse Pro2, to save my shoulders. It really works, but takes quite a while getting used to.

I got the Logitech a couple of months ago. I love this mouse.
