Is your homepage built using Haiku?

No, I am more talking about a standard process of applying security patches (and/or bugfix patches). I'm countering the claim in the article that using containers somehow makes software orgs more prone to "unmaintained"

If it weren't containers it would be a new programming language, framework, or another agile methodology. Your argument has very little to do with containers. Containers are just a better tool for writing OS configuration scripts. (If

You're right, I didn't make that clear. What you're missing is that the beginning of the "deploy" process is building the image on your local (or on CI). That's when the update happens. Then you test it on stag

This is really off-base, misses the point, and is another form of the "you don't need containers" criticism which has become very tired at this point. This is mostly a critique of microservice architectures, not containers. I

> Does the “ease of transaction” of Bitcoin provide an implicit value over gold... I know this doesn't answer your question but it's still relevant. Currently Bitcoin is the most expensive, least convenient currency available.

by apeace 9y ago
Bitcoin isn't a fiat currency. It has intrinsic value in the same way that gold does, because it's fungible, divisible, transportable, impossible to counterfeit, etc. So in that sense, I think the answer to your question is yes: B

Exactly. If you read the article, it answers the OP's question pretty thoroughly. Comes down to incompetence and favoritism at the highest levels. The voters simply haven't done anything about it.

I liked your analysis, but it hinges on the $150 million per mile figure. Is there any data to back that up, or any reason you chose that figure? Is there any reason to believe that Boring Co's technology could lower the cost?
