You seem to ignore or downplay all the other ways a container can cause problems, including but not limited to: - Being a backdoor to the rest of your network (sniffing network traffic, or more simply reverse ssh-tunneling to an outside ser

Haha, I knew somebody would actually look it up :) Thank you!

From that very link, they use IIS (what this CVE is about), not a linux kernel-space http server.

by tribaal 12y ago
That you can write a module to serve HTTP from kernel space is a given. That people actually use it is another topic.

And how much internet-facing web content is served with this toy webserver exactly? That's what I thought, none (except maybe the author's blog? wild guess).

If they were pretty important I would make sure they are backed up in the first place.

While I agree with the first half of that (I wish them mediocrity as well), Snowden's revelations make it pretty clear that they are not mediocre at what they do. It takes some skill to deploy and run such a large-scale and pervasive o

It's funny how before the whole scandal was public (or at least, before I personally became aware of it), the NSA sounded like a hip place to work: for example, their keynote here was quite cool: https://www.openstack.org&#x

Interesting for me to see DigitalOcean perform so badly (in this particular metric), especially since they seem to be pretty fast for me in general.

From another thread, it seems automatic (300+ employees) is pretty big on remote workers as well: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9232565

Well, the good thing is that "wokring from home" lets you choose to go to a coworking space or not... while people who actually enjoy working from home (like me for example) don't get to choose if the job is "office-only

I work for Canonical (www.canonical.com) We have some offices and legal presence in some countries that require it, but most of the engineers are work-from-home only. My team is completely work-from-home, including manager, product manager,

Well, just like the other user who answered you (hi, lifestyle clone!) I'm married, One kid, one on the way. Like I said, I love the choice it brings me - I don't have to work form home (I can use a coworking space for instance),

Working from home for 3 years now, and I love it. I think what people in general tend to forget is that you can work from home but you don't have to . Renting a spot in a coworking space is very fun and helps with the loneliness.

Another simple solution: go to a coworking space once in a while. It's usually cheap and has a coffee machine, and plenty of people to introduce yourself to and smalltalk with.

Does that help at all for muscle memory and things like that?

I'm a vim guy, but I've been wanting to try emacs for a long time. Any tip for a convert like me? Is the "trick" just to make the jump and persist until it clicks? How do I still get my job done in the mean time?

Sure, what I meant is most companies will chose cheap-fast over good-fast, in my experience. Flinging crap out fast is sometimes seen as a valid business model (unfortunately): that crap is only expensive to you if you have to maintain it,

Interesting read! Thanks.

Well, it seems like a relatively surprise-free article... Write explicit code, write tests, have QA staff and procedures, build what the stakeholders what. I guess the biggest problem with software quality is not that we don't know how

That is correct, as far as I understand. It that also means Swiss companies have an incentive to borrow money and invest it, though. EDIT: Ah, it seems it only applies to inter-bank interest rates, not sure how it trickles down to end clien

They do this because to peg the currency to the Euro meant they had to buy an unlimited amount of foreign currency to make up for it, which gets very expensive in the long run. What this means in layman's terms (I'll do my best):

Yeah, it also seems to me people hear "diet and exercise" as if the second part was somehow optional :(

Being a European who moved to Tanzania, I couldn't agree more! Here it's often prepared simply with spices over a grill, and it's delicious. I'm going to miss this when I go back to Europe.

Ah, sure, if they use my card with the chip and PIN then I'm liable. Same if an online purchase is validated by 3dsecure, since that would mean that they somehow got my password on top of the physical card and personal details.
