It's probably true that public use of such technology can be dated to LXC. But cgroups, and the initial (private) userspace implementations, definitely come from Google. There were many efforts to get some kind of container technology

After SB10 was passed by the legislature, the opposition (mostly bail bond companies?) gathered enough signatures to force a "veto referendum", i.e. a referendum on whether SB10 should be adopted as the legislature had voted, or s

It may not eliminate it, but I'm sure it improves the situation compared to not being able to change jobs at all. I originally came to the US on an H-1B, and had no trouble transferring the visa to a new employer.

If you can find another employer to take over the sponsorship, you can transfer (without having to deal with the visa quota gantlet).

Something like that does exist for Google account access problems - you can pay a few dollars (which also ties you to a presumably-authenticated credit card, and so helps authenticate you to Google) for an expedited response.

But most of those billions of lines are not the low-level infrastructure relied on by many projects. To split out a single product would only require creating external versions of a much smaller subset of the code (and once that had been do

The microcode here consists of sequences of the eight low-level gigatron hardware instructions, which implement the richer 6502 ISA.

I've encountered a couple of gas stations that supported NFC, in the last year. The most recent one was at ARCO - although in that case I couldn't actually use it since they only accept debit and at that point I only had my credit

No, because multiple jobs being run by the same end-user could share data files on the machine, in which case they needed to share the same uid. (Or alternatively we could have used the extra-gid trick to give shared group access to files,

Presumably the withdrawing investor also gets the fund's cost basis in the stock, so they'll be on the hook for the fund's capital gains themselves when they sell the stock. (The article didn't explicitly mention it, nor

I don't think you even need a blacklist for this to be of real benefit - if every fancy bottle sold is expected to be accompanied by a blockchain transaction moving the bottle's certificate (originally produced by the winemaker, a

For tender cuts of meat (like a good steak) it might be true that temperature is what matters. But cooking sous vide for 12-24 hours can turn a tough cut into incredibly tender juicy meat - the connective tissue needs time as well as temper

I probably don't - my experience is very one-sided, as I've never tried Kubernetes.

To be fair to @elvinyung, a good chunk of your points five and six could be summarized at a high level as "switching costs".

Google Maps has supported on-the-route searching for a while - it will give you a bunch of options on the map, indicating how much of a detour each requires.

As someone who's never programmed in Scala, it's not intuitive to me at all that "until" means exclusive, given that "to" (which is basically a synonym) means inclusive.

That sounds more like the process of applying for a Labor Certificate, as part of a green card. For an H-1B you just need an approved Labor Condition Application, which attests that you're offering the "prevailing wage" for t

That's mostly accurate. Lots of people (at Google, IBM, SWSoft and elsewhere) had been working on approaches to get resource isolation into the Linux kernel since around 2000, but none had achieved general support. The main debate was

Yes, the concept of resource control wasn't new. Getting it from a research project to the form where it was production-ready and supported for inclusion in the mainline tree of Google's kernel of choice took a bit longer.
