The incompatibility I mentioned is with Dockerfiles. You’re right that more flexible patching and optimizing transfers are valuable. But those problems are independent of build frontends: you could solve them once for both buildpacks and Do

Your answer makes sense, but it actually makes me less excited about CNB. It sounds like CNB will break compatibility with the massive Dockerfile ecosystem, in exchange for... sometimes not downloading a layer? That is not appealing to me a

Here’s a little known fact: “docker build” can trivially be extended to build buildpacks or CNB. Now that the buildkit refactoring is complete, Dockerfiles are just the default frontend. There’s already a buildpack frontend in the community

The spiritual ancestor or wasm, pnacl, was in fact based on a safe subset of the llvm IR. I think llvm/wasm interop will be hugely important, and will receive a lot of attention from the nascent wasm ecosystem.

There is still a financial aspect though: that rapid increase in responsibility and experience most probably translated to higher income at your next jobs. And there is a compounding effect each time you change jobs, so the earlier you were

Really? The official images have been quite solid and up-to-date in my experience. Has that changed since last year?

The US government already subsidizes underpaying employers in the form of food stamps and other palliative services. If employers were required to pay for the foodstamps and welfare services of their own workers, I wonder if we would see a

Fair enough. So what’s your answer?

So if we were to scan those Linux distributions for the same vulnerabilities found in the Docker images under discussion, we would find no vulnerabilities whatsoever?

You’re right, but there is a very healthy ecosystem of Arm-compatible Docker images and tools already. That definitely gives developers a head start in adding Arm support. Depending on their dependencies, they might not need to do anything

Because of exclusionary zoning and prop 13, both of which are supported by middle-aged and retired homeowners, a dominant political force in California.

You are asking in good faith, so please don’t take this the wrong way. I can give you one clue: from your comment I already know that you are a white American, and that the “well-educated, intelligent people [you] know” are also overwhelmin

As someone who has worked many years in open-source, including as a maintainer, I can confirm that you clearly have no clue what you’re talking about. Your argument that somehow, not being paid for our work makes that work better, is 1) idi

I also like that DevFlight works with individual maintainers, rather than with projects. Many prolific maintainers work with several projects. They may not have created any of those projects, and they may not run them either. When the spotl

That is a naive thing to say. Open-source work doesn’t become purer when underpaid. Making open-source pay better for everyone , not just a privileged few, will allow more people to join the open-source movement, raising the standard of so

Speaking for myself: a combination of ease of use, features, quality and a mature ecosystem. They certainly don't have a perfect track record in any of these, QA being a well-documented example in the last few years. And the alternativ

I find the term “low-skill worker” insulting and ignorant. It’s much more accurate to call them low-wage workers.

Glassdoor is designed to be manipulated. Employers encourage positive reviews and censor negative ones. Employees with an axe to grind leave exaggerated negative reviews. Executives leave astroturfed positive reviews. Everything about Glass

I agree, but that problem can wait. Rooting out corporate mass surveillance before it strangles democratic society... that can’t wait.

Docker for Mac and Docker for Windows do use a VM, but it’s a single VM for the entire host system, not one VM per container. So the overhead is very reasonable.

There's a cool little project called "particubes" that is a sort of "magicavoxel lite" on iOS. It's pretty fun to sketch 3D scenes on the go on an iphone. Authors are pretty responsive too.

I think “bdfl” and “exclusive corporate sponsor” are 2 distinct issues. I was addressing “bdfl vs. democratic leadership”. I personally don’t think it matters where the bdfl is employed in the early days of a project, there are examples of

The key word is “improvement”, which implies that there was something already there to improve. So, a democratic structure can improve Django once it’s already well-defined and widely used. But could it have created Django and made it succe

Are you sure? I’ve spent quite some time playing with the internals of Docker Swarm / swarmkit last year and I’m quite confident it wasn’t true then. As far as I know they call go-raft directly because they only need a fraction of the
