Can you elaborate on how Firecracker is changing the situation? My claim is that it isn't possible to build services on top of GCE/EC2 that compete with 1st party cloud offerings in important ways. The problems with nested virtual

I think one thing that articles like this miss is that not all cloud services run, themselves, in VMs. For example, most of Google's don't. While virtualization has improved a lot, it wouldn't be possible to replicate many of

I think a big part of it is that Docker failed to expand much beyond their initial offering. They tried, but weren't able to get much traction. HashiCorp probably wouldn't be IPOing with a multi-billion dollar valuation if they co

I used to work at a company that used Concur. Some of my co-workers wouldn't bother with expensing a lot of expensible stuff because dealing with Concur wasn't worth it to them. I wonder if this phenomenon saves the company a sign

People keep repeating that particulate masks are not comfortable. I don't think this is universally true. Sure, some combinations of face shapes and specific mask models might be uncomfortable, but that is going to be true of anything

The yubikeys are designed to be non-clonable, so it is two factors: something you have and something you are. Not all factors are created equal, and in the past there have been issues with biometrics not really being a reliable indicator of

California is not like other states in this regard. First is its size. California's population and GDP are more comparable to a country than most US states. "If California were a sovereign nation (2020), it would rank as the world

Exactly. This is a problem with Tesla, not autonomous vehicles. There are lots of other autonomous vehicles being tested in San Francisco. In fact, it is a pretty popular place to test autonomous vehicles. Waymo is even offering a self-driv

It is mostly OSS and can easily be used as a pure OSS solution (perhaps minus some blob drivers from the device manufacturer, but that is true of most Linux distributions with much hardware support). There are some extra features available

Note that it appears that it is still unknown how likely breakthrough infections are to result in long Covid. The very limited data that does exist indicates that the likelyhood is rather high (~20%). https://www.nytimes.com&#x2F

Sailfish is pretty great. Devices get industry leading software update support (the only device they ever dropped got 7 years of updates). Great UI. It even supports a fairly good Android emulation mode if you want to run some Android apps.

Yes. You can send any file descriptor. You might also be interested in socketpair[1], which creates a pair of FDs connected via an anonymous Unix domain socket. Sending a socketpair over a Unix domain socket is a nice way to establish a new
