Thanks! DVC is closely tied to Git. We've heard people find that quite heavyweight when you're running experiments. We think we can build a much better experience if we detach ourselves from Git. With Replicate, you just run your

Ex-Docker person here. I got an early peek at Sysbox and I'm really excited by it -- it's really neat. Docker is missing a bunch of features that make some software work, which is why you can't run Docker inside Docker by def

I visited the country a couple of years ago, and a thing that puzzled me was why almost all the cars were white. Do you know why this is? Some said it was because it is better at keeping the cars cool, but this doesn't explain why surr

My 30 year old Land Rover has one of my favourite user interfaces. For example, the cooling system. It's a big lever on the dash connected directly to a big flap on front of the car. You pull down the lever and it opens the flap, and a

Do you know whether that includes websites in Safari? If I can’t use 2FA for that, I don’t see how I can use a Yubikey.
