> Some distance. But now a days when you can own the kernel, that distance shrinks to zero. I am certainly not disagreeing :). I do wonder how well the exploit would have worked if the system were also locked down with SELinux/Smack. No

Containers are nice for putting some distance between the compromised app and the OS. Especially useful when combined with a system for mandatory access controls (SELinux, Smack, etc). If you can attempt to limit the exposure of a compromis

Yes it's written in go... though Docker could have been written to the same effect in something else (Haskell or whatever). If there were a 'secret sauce' I'd say it's the kernel features it takes advantage of (cgroup, lxc, kernel namespace

Pretty sure that was the point of what they said :)

GoboLinux works in a very similar manner, though I'm not sure the distro has seen any love in a few years.

I used to play with something similar back in the 80s. Wish I could remember what it was!

Also worth noting that the mass of each star involved in a figure-8 would have to be pretty much identical.

A pretty idea, but planetary orbits in a multi star system are pretty hard. You either have to orbit in close enough to one of the stars that the other star doesn't destabilize your orbit, or you have to orbit far enough out that you orbit

"Just logic" I think really underplays things. That logic ends up in flight control systems, valve control for oil rigs, power grid management, robotics, factory automation, satellites, etc. A lot of software programming has very physical i

>> Rusts features look to be a superset of C++... You could substitute "too complex" with "too big". Feature wise I'd say Rust has more in common with a functional language. * Consistent type system. (base types like int are obj

I'm guessing you have not really looked into Rust. The idea is to also take a "do it right" approach rather then "à la carte". Keep in mind, the focus in in a different domain. Not really sure what basis you have for the "even more bloated"

Personally I've been using Ruby for expressive stuff... and Haskell and Scala for crunchy performance and type correct code. On clean clear C... I can't say I've ever found C to be very beautiful. Even the really well written C :)

From an InfoQ interview: "InfoQ: How does it compare with Google Go? GH: Go's a good language. It's less complex than Rust, but also less ambitious. So you can pick your poison. Go's memory model, for example, has no concept of isolating me

Rust I think has more potential to eventually replace C/C++. Besides having modern language features, it still allows the programmer to get down into the nuts and bolts of how memory is being used. (Not that I feel Rust is perfect either...

I'm personally quite happy with Fedora on my laptop (2012 Samsung Series 9 15".) Straight up Gnome 3.X
