But what’s the exit strategy for NZ? Unless borders remain closed indefinitely I can’t see zero COVID to be maintainable in the long term.

Paraphrasing some of my other comments - "no Dockerfile" isn't the core benefit, it's the ability to control what base images are used and rebase the base images of running containers without needing to rebuild. It'

I see your point but there is nothing to stop organisations maintaining their own set of "trusted builders". `FROM node` etc is still relying on external communities, the buck has to stop somewhere

Skaffold also has first class support making it really easy to deploy to k8s https://skaffold.dev/docs/pipeline-stages/builders/buildpack...

That's quite a cynical and uninformed view point. Buildpacks have been around since 2011 in Heroku and Cloud Foundry. The core goal of the Paketo Buildpacks project is to improve corporate control and compliance when building OCI image

Compliance is a big reason for enterprises to adopt buildpacks. It’s hard for organisations to assure all code is built using only approved or up to date dependencies. Dockerfile makes it very easy to package vulnerable libraries and diffic

Another advantage of buildpacks is the ability to easily “rebase” an image layer to update dependencies (eg JDK) without rebuilding the whole image. https://buildpacks.io/docs/concepts/operations/rebase/

Last time I checked drugs were still pretty popular in 2020 and no one wants to hang around big Daves dirty house to buy some weed

You also need a valid ID verification to buy BTC from the main platforms now

by ojhughes 6y ago
Buying drugs with BTC is very widespread and probably what fuelled the initial adoption. How is that anything but a currency?

I agree and in my experience with k8s, the unhappy path is a rare experience. Everything just works most of the time

If mask usage was strictly mandated then lockdowns would be unnecessary. Instead, the topic of masks has been pulled into a ridiculous debate. I suspect most lockdown supporters live in a comfortable and spacious environment where they work

Enterprise Service Bus had this goal, and it mostly failed as a standard due to its complexity. Arguably, HATEOS has a similar goal by making APIs universally discoverable

Using the language of war has been a common theme during the pandemic as a way to justify draconian measures. This isn't a war, nurses are not like soldiers. Lockdown is great if you work from home and can sip wine in the garden. Not s

Making mask usage mandatory and actually policing it would be a much lighter touch and the evidence from Japan suggests the virus can be kept under control without lockdowns. If you take the numbers in Japan in your example, driving is mo

Why so many of us accept authoritarian lockdown rulings is beyond me. It’s even more alarming how willing many are to report their neighbours for perceived infringements. Freedom of movement is sacred and people should be able to make thei
