Ivan, I bought your book "Bulletproof SSL and TLS". It's excellent, and I recommend it to those who are charged with building, deploying, or managing a real world deployment that includes TLS.

AFAIK, SABRE is/was an airlines reservation system, not a GDS. SABRE evolved into TPF which is not related to z/OS except inasmuch as they are both operating systems that run on IBM z-series mainframes. See http://www-0

This is a little mixed up. First trivial point you meant "virtualization" not "visualization". Second, the only thing the 360/67 had (and that was carried forward to the 370 "Advanced Function" line) was a

The X in Xedit was for Xavier Delamberterie, who wrote it while on assignment from IBM France to IBM Endicott, where I also worked.

No expert here, but I would guess the important bit is the "root": value, which in the example points to rootfs. rootfs, I suppose, would be the directory on the host system containing the entire root filesystem that is to be moun

I'm old enough that I've lived through these stages: 1) There were no answering machines and no cordless phones, much less mobile. If you called someone at home, and they didn't answer, you just tried later. If you called som

Are we talking about the same thing?: https://github.com/docker/docker/pull/8859 ??? It had no etcd in it and the POC was implemented as part of the Docker API/CLI, as best I recall. There were signific

Yes and Pivotal (CloudFoundry) has posted a fairly supportive blog entry on Rocket. So it's not just CoreOS "making a play". https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8683540

I attended Docker Global Hack Day #2 on Oct 30 from Austin. A talk was given on an active Docker project for host clustering and container management, which was non-pluggable, and made no reference to and used none of the code from CoreOS&

The use case for our startup is: we have lots of compute and graphics intensive services being created and tested on Macs by developers, targeted for Linux Docker instances in the cloud. It would be nice to be able to run these same contain

This is the only on-point comment so far. At some level both these apps are big time enablers of copyright infringement. Maybe you don't think that's a bad thing and all copyright laws should be gutted, or maybe you want to play l

Do this thought experiment. What if Torvalds (or the equivalent) had never created the Linux kernel and put it under GPL? Where would GNU be today? And would you be thinking RMS is The Man?

I would say the pedantry is on the other foot. :) Your drunk driving analogy is strained to say the least. Net neutrality has not been in effect though all of ISP history, except for a brief period before the courts shot it down. To compare

Let's parse the premise. "If net neutrality fails" -- "net neutrality" -- you probably mean the currently popular version of this, which is "don't let ISPs create fast and slow lanes, and charge for the fa

There's no difference between "allow" and "not disallow"? There's a huge difference. "Allow" means to affirmatively allow ISPs to charge fees when they couldn't before, while "not disallow&q

My alternative: 1. Toss receipts into a file folder per month. Time: <5 seconds per receipt. 2. At tax time, go through receipts and pull out tax related ones. Time: 30-45 minutes. Total time spent: an order of magnitude less than imag

The real question is, what is the interface you are virtualizing, and how do the characteristics of that interface influence the design of the OS you are building? Hypervisors virtualize the hardware interface: the user-mode and privileged

Aw come on, all you have to do is let your users choose an icon of their favorite animal or sport, save that as an account preference, and show it to them while they enter their password. We don't need better certificate verification!

Good points, but I would argue that HTTPS provides little protection against this kind of access tracking. Even if the site is HTTPS protected, a surveillance actor on the net would still be able to read the entire site, maybe to determine

I don't know why you're bothering with SSL at all. Your use case is that your site is informational, it's intended to be open to anyone, there is no personal/customer information on it, and there's no authentication

After reading the whole VF article I come to two conclusions. 1. If you work for a company which (as I'm sure GS does) has a policy forbidding you from uploading company data to the public cloud, don't violate that policy. Especi

It'll be interesting to see what happens with this. You may be right. Depends on how enterprising Contra is, and how willing the studio is to engage in more than just selling some rights and walking away. It's not really that much
