I'm not trying to bait anything, and I don't have any afterthought. I genuinely find it baffling that something ever got the idea of trying to change a term that's so engrained in IT culture, to the point I use it outside of English. Isn't it a point that's interesting to discuss ? I think it is, and trying to have it brushed aside is vexing.
NB: I remembered seeing your name somewhere, and indeed I have. I really enjoy your blog posts @ fly.io. I even have « Sandboxing and Workload Isolation » saved up somewhere as a note.

- tptacek 5y agoI don't think it's especially interesting to discuss, but either way: it's not important on this thread, where it is an off-topic tangent. We all share responsibility for making sure we're talking about the meat of an article on its thread, and not burying the thread under a relitigation of some past rhetorical controversy. It's as much about predicting what responses your comment will generate as it is anything else. Thank you for the kind words about the blog posts! I'm particularly happy with the sandboxing post.
- throwawayair557 5y agoI'm also a fan of your sandboxing post. Got to know of nsjail and gVisor. Looking forward to your Macaroons post, don't care when it arrives. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macaroons_(computer_science) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macaroons_(computer_science)
