This is cool but I'm a bit unsure how to actually use this. Kubectl doesn't seem to be able to connect to the server from within the terminal. It just gets: `The connection to the server localhost:8080 was refused - did you specif

It sounds like you may be suffering from a form of scrupulosity [0], a disorder in which you feel excessive guilt about moral or religious issues. In your case mostly moral. Fantasizing about having sex with women you work with and making e

The version control semantics of the system are pretty crucial for some of the features you describe wanting. Pachyderm supports incremental operations on stream-like datasets. But what's going on under the hood is that the dataset is

If you're looking for something that doesn't constrain you to a particular language take a look at Pachyderm. It's built around containers so you can run any code you want. I designed it with JVM-phobes like you (and me) in m

This gets at the heart of the more interesting debate here. Scientists aren't sovereigns, at least not officially, although many people seem to want them to be. Somewhat counter-intuitively the same people who think government should o

The article mentions that most of the increased energy consumption was due to the performance of I/O system calls. This was a bit surprising to me since Docker shouldn't have much of an impact of I/O system calls unless you&#

They are within their rights to remove the passenger though, it's just a breach of contract to do so. But they are within their rights to breach the contract, it just gives the other party the right to recoup damages.

I'm always dubious of startups based on how the founder wants the world to be. Even if there are a lot of people who want it to be that way too, markets have a way of foiling such plans.
