Right. But Docker is not a charity. I think that Podman/Buildah is actually a superior solution. This might unfortunately mean the ultimate demise of Docker, Inc. as we know them. To be fair, I literally use Docker everyday. So I'

Yes, but in the case of both Mozilla and Linux, they had a huge running start and have developed their moats (for what they are) over a long period of time. A new organization coming in fresh and thinking, "hey I know what, let's

I don't even think we're just talking about children either. Test taking in academia (university and above) could stand a much needed fresh look. I am hopeful that a change happens in academia to prepare students for jobs, which i

This posting was great. Highly recommended reading through. It gets really good when the author hits "Data is a Liability". > An alternate definition of Big Data is “when the cost of keeping data around is less than the cost o

Right. It's been discussed before, but the web browser is one of the greatest examples of "write once, run anywhere" in terms of the markup that is HTML. If the evolution had happened differently, maybe we'd be all be us

We live in the era of click-bait titles and these manifest even by, what you would hope, are more reputable establishments. The author obviously agrees with your sentiment (given the quote you cited), but it's too easy and just the nor

Ha ha, OK. I totally thought you meant it. I mean, as much spam calls as I get, I honestly wasn't surprised. I'm following now, thank you.

re: #3 I agree with you. There's something about the aesthetics of AM radio that favors talk radio. In a former life, I would listen to a lot of political talk radio (from a few major brands), and switching over to listen to them in FM

I don't listen to the radio much anymore (work-from-home keeps me off the road, which is where I'd normally listen to radio). But I am with you, I have found the HD sub-channels to be very palletable to listen to compared with the

Really? That's crazy. At least at one point, spinning up phone numbers was significantly harder and much more deterrent against account generators than was email addresses. What has changed to make phone numbers easier to generate and

I believe that social media is contributing to these feelings. It seems that social media, being an amplifier for "shocking" stories, tends to exacerbate the negativity of the world around us. Only the most controversial, sad or f

Agreed. While I read javadoc for the core SDK and other common libraries, it's very rare that I need to read it for my own (or company's) repositories. Instead, I'm just reading the source code and the javadoc embedded in eac

Maybe when Google was an exciting place to work and a darling of the internet, possibly somebody working there would consider going out of their way to help a user out and considered themselves empowered to do so. I get the feeling that any

If someone is in your face with a camera and pushing the limits of personal boundaries, I think it's safe to assume that just about anything could happen. The subject might snap, the "content creator" might snap, a whole host

"content creator" - ha! Pretty sad that you chewing food is considered "content." I like the awkward silence non-response. I might have ended up grabbing a handful of gadgets and smashing them on the ground. You have muc

That's some interesting insight. Thank you. When I read your comment, I was envisioning us all sitting around fires in caves with animal skin togas talking about the latest HN post (which presumably was Carl scribbling down something o

Right. That's fascinating, isn't it. @dang's link to the June 2010 comments[1] tells the story: > Bell Labs was upset because AT&T made those commercials without consulting us. A PR company thought up all the ideas. W

These are really good ads. I remember watching them as a younger person, not realizing how profound or accurate they were. But of course, it's also interesting to compare it to the actual world we live today. The most notable thing is

All Elon had to do was just shutup and stay behind the scenes, like in the good Musk days. He has started so many great companies and I very much used to admire him. But now it's like watching a trainwreck in slow motion. He was eccent

Ron is outspoken and knows the issues better than most. But he can be blunt on his perspectives and definitely does not represent the whole ecosystem or the majority perspective on all things Java. For _many_ enterprise users, there is inde

The Array limitation is easy to deal with (in my opinion). If you're needing arrays larger than Integer.MAX_VALUE, then you're probably doing something wrong to begin with. Usually you want to partition your data and maintain mult

My (recent) introduction to Zeihan was this talk he gave to pig farmers. https://youtu.be/Wi_nFz1CJSI The audio is a little rough, but it's worth the watch (in my opinion). Yeah, he comes across as a bit forward and a

I mean, basically the web sucks right now. Classic rant incoming: There's definitely a need that sits between boring PR release and ad-filled regurgitation. You can't tell me that heaps of ads are actually helping the monetization

Yeah, I wasn't trying to editorialize on this. I honestly didn't know about Pluton, so I just included a couple of links to newcomers like myself. Indeed, Pluton could be beneficial, assuming you are on the side of fully trusting
