Docker is 1) namespace and chroot for separating processes 2) cgroups to limit hardware resources (CPU/RAM) . This allows for this "packaging" and kind of "sandbox". In addition, it adds a file-saving feature by usi

Somehow related, for non-US people, do you ever use or heard/read the term "loser" (or direct translation)? My hypothesis is that it's a very American concept, as in I don't remember ever anyone outside the US/

Whenever I see a rant that is a blanket "all is bullshit" list of complaints, I check if there are any actionable proposed solutions. Author gave none, so I dismiss all this with a flick of my hand.

I think a phone call is not only more respectful but the recruiter actually can say things that she may not want to put in writing. I've got two such calls from FAANGs and I'm glad they told me I did great in such and such intervi
