Well if I sit in a meeting with 2 programmers who work 80h+ to produce value for the company, 2 consultants, 2 managers, 2 architects, each of them earning 3x-10x of what the programmers earn, but all living off of what the programmers prod

It might be correct if that would be what happens. However people who create more are usually at the bottom end of the food chain in our current system. People who don't do much more than play political games usually end up at the top,

One might also argue that the real thing didn't happen yet though. Just because a lot of people attach a label to themselves and then other people come and use that label to do PR against them doesn't mean it was correct in the fi

Basics are missing, e.g. don't run privileged containers, don't give all your pods cluster-admin rights, don't allow random hostpath mounting. (You would be surprised how much software couldn't run if this would really b

Most Network protocols are a state machine in the kernel. That the end result of a tcp state machine is a communication between two computers is more of a lucky coincidence, that results from smart state machine design.

There is the idea of "high level concepts", concepts that build on top of other concepts. So it's probably impossible to explain without some insight knowledge into operating systems, programming, multi processing, security,

go back to the top level of this discussion and ctrl-f for "runc" then it becomes more clear. Docker is more than we usually think it is, because it makes all the stuff around containers so easy to use.

That's why some people believe that in 10 years we won't have docker, we won't have kubernetes, but that it will be intuitively integrated into the OS through new system design patterns that still have to appear out of all th

Can't github do that by itself already with Github projects?

It makes sense for a logical perspective, but in practice that's not how it works. In reality if something breaks, and you are stupid enough to mention it, then (a) you are considered an a-hole for blaming <responsible-person-for-to

It's also very standard enterprise thinking: Save 100 mio now, get a bigger bonus check, and worry about the consequences later. Maybe all consequences can be avoided even.

What I don't understand is why Go is not simply copying something from another community. And yes it will be incompatible with the "old way", but what is the "old way" with such a young language anyways. But then at

by erikb 9y ago
For an expert in the language I would agree with your statement. But language is a complex task, like juggling. And you don't start with throwing three balls up. You start with one, and then when you can handle it you add the second, e

Depends on different factors, you can't just say one is better than the other. E.g. a function call itself might be quite expensive. It's important to know both patterns though, so you are able to choose depending on your situatio

This is nice, but also naive. The current battle against data grabs is not about getting rid of data grabs, it's about giving the government control over data grabs, so they can compete with China and Russia when it comes to knowing th

That's actually bad advise. Nothing worth learning will be finished learning before you run out of joy for it. The best example from my experience is learning songs in a foreign language I'm studying. First you listen to a song yo

Such a small article about such a big topic. Yes, real learning takes a lot of time and energy. You might think that solving problem X, really solving it, might be done after a few hours. And in the end, after you really done it, you realiz

Huge topic at the moment for many really big applications, I believe. If you work in bigger setup you can't really avoid building new containers on the fly at some point or the whole container concept stops making sense.
