I can show you cases where right-leaning folks are left on the platform as well. You are missing the forest for the trees.

Plenty of left-leaning people get banned as well.

Not running as root, for one. There are also many other advantages, such as decoupling the building from the running, and running rootfs tarballs directly, blah blah blah.

> software is developing so fast and the abstractions getting better Software won't eat software because this isn't true, yet. IMO, the last 10 years have been an explosion of new frameworks and patterns that are overly-complic

> None of your dependencies can say "hey, I work with versions 1.1 to 1.3 of this dependency" That's a real problem that needs to be solved. Also, what happens when two lib A and lib B depend on different versions of lib C

Node supports node_modules, not npm. Anything can build the node_modules.

- "Rust has its own promise-like abstraction, called Futures. Through the "op" abstraction, Deno makes it easy to bind Rust future-based APIs into JavaScript promises." That's exciting! I wonder if that binding is p

JQuery has a lot of ergonomics that I'm really comfortable with (mainly chaining).

by pknopf 6y ago
I like to see new things done with jQuery. React-and-friends are too over-used right now, and it's suffocating us who want simple libs for simple sites.

My favorite is when I open an issue and get no response. Then, after a year, a bot auto-closes the issue due to "inactivity"...

I'm not seeing a lot of hope here. There is an incredible investment in systemd by distributions, there is no turning back. Help me..

by pknopf 6y ago
It isn't worth the added friction though. And if you happen to leak concerns in your services (in a monolith), it's really easy to adjust, as opposed to having to coordinate the deployment of 5+ services. And even then, a distribu

Of course, the tech is different. I meant the end-goal being achieved is the same. > what darch does can be done by chroot, namespaces etc and is not that complicated. Exactly my point.

We ship compliant by default. Customers have the ability to make themselves non-compliant.

It's close enough for desktop purposes, especially for people not willing to make the plunge into a new world with its own DSL. You don't really hear people complain about the reproducibility of "docker pull ubuntu:bionic&quo

My employer gutted our product, removed features, locked things down, etc. Customers immediately complained. For business reasons, we undid all of our changes. Go figure...

by pknopf 6y ago
That is a complicated way to achieve the same thing Darch does. I'd prefer to not learn a new DSL. Packages and products are more widely supported on Ubuntu/Debian. In the end, I just want to work and play, not learn a new DSL, wh

by pknopf 6y ago
Yeah, and? Darch does a lot more than just that. 1. Temporary boots. You can "sudo rm -rf /", reboot, and all is well. You can play around with "apt-get install" without having to commit to your changes being persis

You must have been really confused when React moved to 16.X ;) My scenario is similar. The current version is 100%. However, I'm going to be refactoring a bit, moving some pieces around, to support some new features. The only breaking

by pknopf 6y ago
Sure, it's not bit-for-bit like Nix and friends, but it's as predictable as you'd expect "docker pull ubuntu:bionic" to be, which is perfectly reasonable/comfortable for desktop scenarios.

Heads up though, I will probably be deprecating the "recipes" format for 1.0, opting to use a pure Dockerfile approach. See my recipes repo for an example.

by pknopf 6y ago
I use it daily. I'm open to any ideas/improvements people want to make, but it's <air-quote> done </air-quote> in my eyes.

I've been able to achieve that same end goal, having deterministic/reproducible/reverting/history/etc with Ubuntu. Essentially, I boot Docker images on bare metal. https://godarch.com/ My recipes:

The single thing I hate the most? Showing search results immediately, while the real search is happening in the background. I see what I want, click it, and it immediately changes to be something else. I get the need to give users instant f

Blazor may not work like Web Forms, but the philosophy is similar. Abstract away the fundamentals of HTML/JS, making back-end devs feel like front-end devs. I started my dev career a long time ago in Web Forms. I went so long without u
