Virtualization, lxc, containers (and K8s), etc were solutions to "secure shared environments". And they have an order of magnitude lower performance hit than gvisor does (Google 'cloudrun python startup times' if you&#x2

> The gVisor/perf thing is a tendentious argument Interesting to dismiss it as such. The gvisor netstack is a (big) part of gvisor and this article is discussing how the performance of that component was, and could well still be, ga

> The netstack stuff here has nothing to do with the rest of gVisor. How so? Besides being part of it, it is at least similar in the group of "bloated slow userland implementation of things the kernel handles well"

Providers managed secure shared environments for decades before ultra inefficient wrappers and runtimes like gVisor existed.

In the issue of abysmal performance on cloud-compute/PaaS Im talking about the container runtime (most Paas is gVisor or Firecracker, no?) cloudrun, DO, modal, etc. But given this article is about improving gvisors userland tcp perform

I don't know anything about Coder, but Gvisor proliferation is annoying. It's a boon for cloud providers, helping them find another way to get a large multiple performance decrease per dollar spent in exchange for questionable sec

I try to read a few scotus rulings a year and I always wonder if anyone actually reads all the citations, notes, references, etc. It just feels like doing it right would take hundreds of hours. Sometimes I wonder if the judges have read the

I agree with the general sentiment: news sucks. On the other hand I find myself disliking it not because it's so predictable, but because how shallow it all is given the complexity of the current systems. This plus the intractable natu

I'm a bit torn on this when it comes to browsers. We recently had a user email us that our app stopped working for them. After we dug into it it was because their Chromebook was last updated in 2021 and didn't have Object.hasOwn (

I dont understand this recent talking point. Surely eating a "supersize me" multiple times a day is going to cause an increase in fat, weight, cholesterol etc. We know this. Plus the fact that the whole documentary was intentional

A tweet I saw earlier found single trollish reddit comments being used to advise the model [1] (see the the quoted tweet above as well). Have they commented on what model this is using? We're in the middle of implementing Gemini Flash

I've never owned an android, but for any android folks: how do you all think about device security/privacy when the manufacture is relatively unknown and overseas? I really wanted to get one, but didn't know the risks associa

Whats are other cases where you would need the former? I can only think of fixed seeding for things that need reproducible results (e.g tests, verifications). I think theres another little force that pushes people towards the PRNG even when

The problem with Checkout/Billing and co are that when they're missing a key feature you're forced to unwind the whole thing. A good example is the classic SaaS scheduled downgrade. In 99% of SaaS plans I've seen downgra

Interesting! Semi-related problem I dealt with recently: Google Cloud seems to choose a different magic number of 1460 for their VPCs default MTU, which is annoying if you don't know because its different than the default of everything

I haven't looked this up in a few years, but is it still bad practice to run things as root in docker? There was always a fear in the community that running things as root would make the path easier if a hypothetical jailbreak were to

Besides "how do we use this" any word on the authors of this project? I did a very cursory search of the two contributors and there was very little I could find that would reassure me in using such a sensitive tool. Could well be

I think it's really reasonable. When I was going through the readme I was (half heartedly) interested in seeing an OPENAI_KEY config variable in the readme.
