We make our money on support. A nontrivial amount of bugs fixed upstream are found and reported against in-support versions of RHEL. But in a broader sense, there's no "immediate return on investment" pressure here. We work w

Our policy at Red Hat is upstream first. Work is being done upstream and benefiting Arch and everyone else. It's not on Fedora. Fedora just benefits from an extremely good QE cycle compared to other distros, and a well-integrated set o

>The entire point o using something like CoreOS or Red Hat atomic with Docker is to stop paying VMware thousands of dollars for each server. No, it isn't. Containers (and app containers) are not competitors to, replacements for, or

Technical details aren't out yet. They may not have implemented it, but given their comments about performance and scaling, it would be a very good reason not to support NFSv3.

It's almost certainly NFSv4 only so they can utilize pNFS

You're affirming the consequent. We don't have receptors for plants found in the wild (cannibis, nicotine, etc). Rather, compounds formed by those plants match up with receptors we already have. There's an entire endocannabin

That's also what any sane configuration management system does for you. Don't get me wrong, I think docker is great, but this whole "I get simple idempotent machines" is a solved problem. Docker excels at bundling applic

Yeah, because Verifone's extant NFC readers definitely aren't standardized at all and haven't worked for years, with wide enough adoption that Whole Foods, Circle K, and fast food chains have them already. Everyone's jus

Are you seriously linking a study from the 40s from a blog post hawking a book? Please go read the last 80 years of nutritional research.

No, we aren't arguing semantics. You're arguing semantics now that you have a lot of qualifiers on the statement you made earlier. Your initial assertion was that high insulin levels cause fat storage (really, insulin causes blood

by evol262 12y ago
This isn't how homeostasis works at all. Insulin levels cause fat storage in order to lower blood sugar levels. If all you did was chug two 2-liter bottles of Coke, you'd temporarily go through lipogenesis, then go back through li

UNIX never meant anything. z/OS is UNIX. Even the Single UNIX Spec never clarified anything other than "UNIX includes these things". People who rail about how systemd "isn't UNIX" never had to maintain a hetero

You're damning journald for things syslogd doesn't do either. Syslog is not reliable. Syslog is incredibly falsifiable (journald is not). Syslog does not handle system crashes well either (pretty much the case where journald gets

Conflating the aims of everything underneath the systemd umbrella is misleading regardless of whether you think monolithic and modular aren't mutually exclusive (and hey! systemd isn't monolithic or modular -- the additional bit

by evol262 12y ago
Except systemd isn't monolithic at all. It's 70 bits under one umbrella project, and you only need three of them to replace init. But because it can do something doesn't mean it does that thing out of the box or even in t

Because they already defaulted in 2001 and got into a spat with the IMF and various investors from western nations who tried to capitalize on their misfortune. In Krugman's mind, Argentina is disparaged because they don't really w

I know conservatives don't like Krugman, but the man didn't win a Nobel for nothing, and linking a two year old article is simply misleading.

You're missing the point -- It's not unreasonable to compare the functionality of zones in 2014 with the functionality of vserver in 2014. But you compared the functionality of zones in 2014 with the functionality of vserver in 20

Docker is application containerization. While Docker is built on top of libcontainer and cgroups (used to be LXC), traditional containers, including LXC and zones, start init and enough services to look like a "normal" system. You

It's unreasonable to compare the functionality of zones in 2014 with their functionality in 2005, when vserver was contemporary and the principal containerization solution. In 2014, you'll find that LXC or OpenVZ (or Xen paravirt

It's not a paradigm which even remotely threatens VMware's use case, though.

It's analogous to App-V or an Application LPAR, if such a thing existed, but these are both good examples. My complaint to the previous poster is mostly that it differs in the same way that an Application WPAR differs from a WPAR. Yes,

Not really. Even in an absolute sense, linux-vserver is/was contemporary with zones. Yes, in the sense that partitioning technology isn't new. zones and jails are comparable to vserver/openvz/lxc. vpars, lpars, and ldoms

You're missing the point, which isn't that "badly-maintained software" and "technical debt" are the problems. It's that I, as a developer who writes Python which runs on Fedora, EL[6|7], Gentoo, Debian, Ub
