Honestly I do it too. We get conditioned to assume every disagreement or question is in bad faith, because most of the time it is... Then we pounce and it becomes a self- fulfilling prophecy. In this case I didn’t read the original material

Thank you for answering my question instead of grandstanding. I had missed that crucial piece of information.

That doesn’t answer the question of why she attempted to conceal her identity. There’s also the question of why the PLA would bother to assign an active duty soldier, with instructions to break US law, if there wasn’t some purpose which the

If there was nothing nefarious going on, why did she attempt to conceal her identity?

My experience is that the Bay Area is a big place with a variety of employers and work cultures. May I ask what kind of social viewpoints you’ve seen causing a hostile workplace for people who disagreed with them?

Isn’t that holding the nuclear industry to an impossible standard, though? Nuclear plants did become much safer, they just didn’t become perfectly safe. But neither did the oil&gas, aviation or automobile industries. Should we also de

It is absolutely not correct that Larsson did the lion’s share. What he did was implement a Go wrapper for libdevmapper, which exposes a very low-level API. It is the Docker team that implemented devmapper-based container storage, as well a

Yeah the tensions were really unfortunate. In the long run it resulted in more competition which benefits all of us; but in the short term it made people’s lives more stressful than they needed to be. I actually have a slightly different ex

I understand what you’re saying but it is incorrect. Docker was in fact the originator of OCI in every way that matters. They made the decision to create it; drafted the founding documents and went back and forth with Linux Foundation on th

That’s fair, there’s always a benefit to alternate implementations. I think those were started for the wrong reasons (interpersonal conflict rather than technical requirements) but perhaps in the end it doesn’t matter.

It’s right there in the repo history. Start from the first commits. I don’t know how serious of an allegation it is: copy-pasting open-source code without crediting it properly is rude, but not illegal.

by zapita 6y ago
Your history is wrong. Docker created the OCI, not Red Hat. Docker donated both the spec and the runc implementation. Containerd was donated (also by Docker) to CNCF, a different organization, and I believe a few years later. You are correc

It’s no secret that there were tensions betwen Docker and Red Hat that culminated around 2016, when Red Hat’s desire to capitalize on the success of containers ran into Docker’s own ambitions to compete with Red Hat. Those tensions were eve

Excellent question, especially since the code is copy-pasted without crediting the original authors. Could it be that they’re trying to minimize the role of Docker as much as possible even when re-using their code?
75.
by zapita 6y ago
runc, containerd and the docker client are critical infrastructure to a whole lot of people, and they seem to be doing just fine running it and, when needed, contributing back. Only Red Hat seems to have a problem with using those projects

Thank you for illustrating my point perfectly. “Grudge?” (proceeds with details of grudge).
77.
by zapita 6y ago
It’s not for performance. It’s to settle an old grudge with Docker. All code coming from Docker must be erased. See also: podman; cri-o; buildah.

I am aware of the OSI definition of open-source. However that is only one definition. Although it is a popular one, it is neither authoritative nor ubiquitous. My definition is just as valid as theirs, and it has never confused anybody outs

The source is openly accessible, openly developed, and you can fork it if you don’t like it. It’s definitely open source.

Isn’t YC an example of VC successfully creating such a “subculture pushing the hype for the brand”? After all, we are having this conversation on their website...

The current situation can accurately be described as minority rule. Republican voters are greatly over-represented at every level of government. They get more state representatives and senators per voter than average; more representatives a

That’s a bold claim. Care to provide evidence to support it?

by zapita 6y ago
Yes. And Red Hat is not known for splurging on pre-profitability M&A. This was relatively cheap. I’m going to take a wild guess and say $100M?

If AB5 was bad, then a good reaction would be to lobby the state legislature to amend it. Prop 22 doesn’t just circumvent AB5: it makes it virtually impossible to improve it via the legislative route. Here is the specific language: After t

I agree it would not be OK for people to be forced to leave their home because they cannot afford to pay their property tax. But there are simple solutions to this problem which do not create even worse problems, unlike prop 13. For example

But does Docker for Mac give unlimited access to the host’s usb bus like GP claims? I don’t see any evidence that it’s true, and the mistaken claim that d4m uses virtualbox increases my skepticism.
