Docker didn't bring container running features or kernel features for running containers (they just used LXC at first didn't they?), Docker brought an image layering and distribution set of features for single process containers.

Being that Deno is tooling rather than a language, I think it is safe to say it is inspired by / comparable to Go tooling. To me it feels like writing JS/TS with Go tooling.

While I'm unlikely to ever create on or browse neocities (I'd kinda forgotten about it), I agree 100% with your concerns about the modern web. And it seems like it got worse since your 2013 blog post. Thank you for your efforts,

Not just that, usually the computer came with a printed manual for BASIC too.

As a non American, the expectation that your democracy only survives because your elected dictators-in-waiting are too scared to take the mask off is such a weird concept. There are no (or very few) other democracies with that culture. From

I wasn't talking about what governments should and shouldn't do, or how they should behave. Or even anything US specific - I'm not American. I was just addressing the statement that guerilla tactics work and Afghanistan was t

Same experience 17 yrs earlier and not in the US. Went from breezing through high school calculus and physics, to completely floundering and flunking out the first year of university. The gap was enormous - probably another 3 years of learn

As others have pointed out, elements and tags are different things and always were. An element is the thing comprised of tags and the content between them. eg <tag>content</tag> is an element. https://developer.m

That's why I'm always wary of people who hardly ever seem to stay anywhere more than a couple of years. There's valuable learning (and empathy too) in having to see your own decisions and creations through their whole lifecyc

I don't think Rails is any less favoured than Django - the hype moved on from back end oriented web frameworks in general though. Rails had a higher level of initial hype though, so maybe more of that moved on to other things leaving i

They way I'd look at it - if your app owns the database and schema, use Django. If your app is connecting into someone else's database or databases (like in enterprises with DBA priesthoods etc), the flexibility of SQLAlchemy can

Yeah that is surprising. And if they had enough data for Land Rover, pretty sure that would be near the bottom.

crontab is just the schedule, there's a bunch of job handling missing. systemd timers get a bit closer and are worth learning for those that still touch actual Linux machines.

Not wanting to take away from any excuse to quote Douglas Adams, I think what they meant by "born 40 yrs too late" is that they are young(ish) and feel that being around 40yrs earlier would've suited them better. Either that

That stands to reason - the last time I had to edit xorg configs was probably over 15yrs ago getting multi monitor working before xrandr. Since 2005ish, xorg seemed to be able to happily autoconfigure itself.

Weird. I use the Firefox snap (due to my lazy inertia), and my saves/downloads are all in $HOME/Downloads I don't think I did anything to change that either.

Yup - A while back (not sure if changed much since), Weta Digital people would talk about being pretty much mostly Linux for modelling/rendering/etc and heavily Mac for audio. Very little Windows.
