> Why should they employ anyone who criticizes them that way in public? [..] If you ran the company, or the department, or owned your own firm where employees aired your dirty laundry like this, why should you be expected to keep them on?

Because owning a company doesn't necessarily mean owning people working for it.

Ask yourself the same question about the government, why should your government be expected to keep you as citizen if you criticize their dirty laundry in public.
Almost any depth. A big steel tube is going to displace water. Once you have some baseline measurements (of known underwater landforms), then small imperceptible variations would stick out.
It is common, but I would not go so far as to say "par for the course". Nor does the SEC get "tons of press and scrutiny" - indeed, you can see all of the positive op-eds written in places like the NYT and WaPo about Mary Jo White's appointment (with a few notable dissenters in Salon like Matt Taibi).

In the EPA, for instance, this was Obama's appointee: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gina_McCarthy. No significant industry ties. Here's another one of Obama's picks for FDA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Hamburg . Again, no significant industry ties.

Maybe? It’s more that I’d like to pay for the managed service of hosting my assets, registering branches for long lived access URLs, getting preview links, and promoting my site to its latest version.

Differently: why are Cloudflare and others interested in running my build?

> I'm not familiar with react hooks, but when I read what you write, my immediate reaction is: we already have a way to reuse business logic. It's called functions.

Hooks are functions. If that wasn't obvious, it's also explicit called out as a key thing about them in the excerpt from the docs that you present and then try to make a point with that entirely ignores the content of the excerpt.
That isn't unique to Radio Shack or the TRS line. Lots of systems (including Atari, Sinclair, Commodore) used cassettes well into the 80s, especially in Europe.
New York's Multiple Dwelling Law is probably a canonical example.
> imagine Apache or Nginx would do that.

Nginx will likely do something similar, very soon. It's not that long ago when F5 bought them, with clear plans to offer paid-only features while the core itself remains open.

Give it another 5 years and I expect nginx to propagate some of those special features to the open-source version, but with the restriction that you can't offer them as a service vendor without a specific license.
Those who are concerned with their application code are often not all that concerned with the platform it's running in. They just want to run their code.

Containers mixes the concerns. We now ask those concerned with application code to be concerned with the platform they're running in. To do this takes away time and energy invested in their application.

So, it's no surprise they don't put much time in to it.

The days of letting people who are concerned with the platform be concerned with this are gone in this season. We now overload the app dev with more stuff to be concerned with.
If you use the Linux file system it is useable, but trying to install a nice module into the Windows file system is not fun.

My employer asks me to change wording or add in bits of marketing fluff to my presentations all the time and I don’t go screaming to the hills for ‘compelled speech’. If you’re producing work on your companies dime it shouldn’t come as a surprise that they want you to represent the company well.
Thanks! I don't have examples online at the moment, but I can probably upload some this evening. I probably should post some examples- thanks for the feedback.
Yep it's always been free to use a custom domain as far as I can remember.

Thats a very strange analogy. A microscope allows you to directly see a small object. A metaphor hints at an object for you to visualize yourself, and the reference is imprecise. That’s exactly Djikstra’s point.

And we can (and do) learn without metaphors. We need base knowledge for the metaphor to refer to. They are useful for learning, but not essential.
Yes that's correct. Argo requires Kubernetes so it's actually impossible to use without it. Argo is great for orchestrating containers but falls short if you need to interact with anything else.

Perfect timing, I was planning on launching a new personal blog next week. Was gonna use GitHub Pages fronted by Cloudflare but this is even better since it has preview and password capabilities.

If anybody from Cloudflare is listening I would love to get on the beta asap. Would also be great if you had some ready to go simple, clean blogging templates :)

I'm generally impressed with the direction Cloudflare is moving, they have some really powerful and innovative infrastructure primitives (workers, durable objects) and a killer network. Going to be interesting to see how they take advantage of that as they build out higher level offerings.

By the way, if anybody has recommendations for simple, clean, modern looking blog template (something like medium) that they have actually used, I am all ears. So far I have found theses two:

- https://github.com/jekyll/minima

- https://github.com/wowthemesnet/mediumish-theme-jekyll/

Minima is a little too minimal and mediumish seems a little muchish, but I don't want to spend too much time searching for the perfect theme so unless something else lands at my feet I probably just pick one and start writing.
I'd like to elaborate on the Hebrews 9:14 passage. To me it references another concept in the Bible where works alone do not guarantee salvation, but only the blood of Christ. The distinction Paul was making here to the Hebrews was that the old testament rituals weren't enough for salvation. James speaks more generally to all new testament Christians and explains that once you have living faith, the works will emerge naturally.

Don’t feel bad. There’s some research that indicates roughly 70%-80% of publications are either derivative (i.e., not really novel) or only have auto-citations (cited by its own authors)
I was wondering when this was going to happen! This is a legitimate contender here against Gatsby, Netlify, AWS Amplify and the like

One thing I like about this over all the others is they aren’t (to my knowledge) just reselling AWS features with added convenience (not that this is an issue or bad, but this a lot of what Netlify does with their lamdas for instance, if I recall correctly) and their CDN is top notch IMO as well. I’m very excited to see how this plays out especially when they add the full stack backend to the mix with durable object storage and broader more fully features edge workers with KV storage

I do wonder if they’ll add GraphQL support out of the box (for instance a ready to configure and use a GQL worker)

Also curious if they will solve for the ability for JAMstack sites to have more real time features via SSE or websockets through their worker platform

Genuinely excited! Sadly they aren’t hiring for WFH and their SF office didn’t have any postings related to working on this from what I can tell :(

As a business owner/coder with small team thikning about Docker container security is very very annoying. Any way to skip it all?

Any idea for multi-tenant Docker/K8s free setup?

Something which will work for the next 10 years and all small micro-services/API will be isolated.

I do love "git push dokku master" developer experience with Dokku though https://github.com/dokku but it's based on Docker.

Which way I should look at?

KVM/QEMU?

Firecracker? https://firecracker-microvm.github.io

My imagination tells me to be with tool which are inside of Linux already ... or some very well tested tool like Nginx and limit CI/CD with Github as they seems will stay in business till the end of my life ...

From a quick test, it's really a good experience, and would make a nice vector editor more than just comic panels really.

One thing maybe, not requiring the extra guide lines would make it clearer. A bit like what Sketchup can do where you don't have to add guide lines for the snaps to work as most of them are implicitly defined.

And also an undo feature would be good.

Awesome work otherwise!
My point was that the king shouldn't be so gloomy: they don't have more deaths relatively to other countries AND they saved their economy.
They are getting downvoted but may be genuine. I as a European person also didn't immediately see her as black, just based on appearance. Closer to North African / Arab / Middle Eastern. Given that Eritrea is right next to the Arabian peninsula, it's not surprising.

It wasn't necessarily meant as an insult. Perhaps in America it's clear she's black, in countries with more North African and Middle Eastern immigration, it may not be.

The geographic distance from Eritrea to West Africa is the same as to Denmark (like 5000 km) and the terrain isn't easy to traverse. If someone imagines all black people "must" look the typical West African way (Ghana, Ivory Coast etc), they may be legit confused when seeing someone from the other side of the continent. The reason that both are considered black is social.

Edit: for example, when seeing her photo she reminded me of the Syrian-Hungarian reporter Hesna Al Ghaoui: https://hesna.hu/gallery#media So precisely what skin tone qualifies you as black is hard to say. Somewhere between Al Ghaoui and Gebru I guess: https://c.files.bbci.co.uk/B817/production/_115872174_gettyi...

They probably see that most people don’t want to deal with setting up their own build, and want to make adoption as easy as possible.

Though they should definitely make it optional.
Preview Environments are slowly being added into most existing platforms, which is great. They are insanely useful.

Cloudflare would really put themselves ahead of the pack if they're able to get a seamless Preview experience that includes stateful backend services.
> I'm not sure why you're being downvoted.

I'm sure why. There's a lot of people who've committed themselves to false/wrong/wishful thinking ideas about COVID (the US, to its embarrassment, has a major political faction that's done this). Since those ideas are indefensible, people who point out the flaws are often downvoted.

...otherwise known as the vast, vast majority of work in "most software engineering roles", as the parent commenter mentioned.

They didn't say CS knowledge was unimportant. They said it wasn't directly used in most SWE work. That's entirely accurate. They did not comment on whether the products of computer science are involved in most software engineering (of course they are, but I don't need to remember A* to use a graph database). They did not comment on (rare) roles in which that knowledge is required to make groundbreaking advancements.
Yeah, I know, but you'd use the same mechanism for both.

For jars/dlls you look up dependency scanners and hook them up to your CI/CD.

For Docker images you look up image scanners and hook them up to your CI/CD.

Are you sure the current FDA is worth your trust? Or are you being cynical?

The pre-1962 FDA had perhaps the better regulatory framework: back then new drugs had to show safety, now they have to show safety and efficacy.

Off-label prescription show that efficacy requirements are not necessary in practice, and just needlessly delay drugs and make their development more expensive.
Instead of using DynDNS my router at home is configured to hit an alternative url, the lambda. Every hour it pings my lambda with its current public IP. The lambda then uses my actual DNS provider’s API to update the record.

It seems the format of DynDNS HTTP posts is baked into a lot of products but obviously not every provider supports it

The purpose of such small fines is to serve as a proportional deterrent to the misconduct they committed. The charge is that Robinhood falsely claimed their prices were lower than the competition; they shouldn't have lied, but that's hardly the crime of the century.
The point of lockdown is to bring the total number of outstanding cases way down, so that society can reset, not just hospitals.

Multi Step Images will not help if you want to build a python container and the package manager will pull in e.b. Bash for the python runtime snd many more depencies. It only saves you from adding build tools to the image.

If you compare them to neighbors with the same initial infection timelines and vectors, similar population density, cultural norms and habits that were relatively the same, as well as matching socio-economic status you will see that Sweden failed miserably at handling Covid.
The trouble is finding balance between simple DIY implementations or cobbling together a house of cards.

"Allow CRUD of names" ok, you'll have it next sprint.
"Allow upload of their resumé docs" no problem, two more weeks.
"Parse the docx and PDF files users upload and extract the contents and fill our db schema with relevant data". Well shit. The specs to understand either of those formats are gigantic and now I'm forced to cobble together something using more dependencies if you want it done in less than two year's time.

PSA: Be careful with ACH payments on Stripe. We had a customer one time who sent us $20k via ACH via Stripe. The customer insisted they sent the money, but it was nowhere to be found in our Stripe account. It took months to track down the money working with Stripe support (Stripe indeed received it, but failed to actually payout to our account)

After that experience, we pull customers out of the Stripe ecosystem as soon as they want to pay by any method other than credit card. Also saves on fees.
They had significantly higher death rates than their similar neighbors and they DIDN'T 'save' their economy.
The problem I was facing is when I get distracted by unrelated rabbit holes of thought. An audiobook is like a train, it's going to continue no matter what I'm thinking about. I also tend to listen to a lot of podcasts which can be better for that, even fiction podcasts.
I disagree, somewhat. Even at the highest application level developers should be concerned about their runtime dependencies. The bigger issues, imho, is that (docker at least) doesn’t make it easy to separate build vs runtime dependencies in any systematic way, and makes it very difficult to build minimal runtime images while providing access to developer tools during development. Bazel and Spring both have ways to address this, but they require knowledge of + _n_ tools on top of the native build too chain.
I've got multiple container images in the docker hub which I've pushed years ago when playing around with it.

I'm certain it has critical vulnerabilities. But it doesn't matter because it's not running anywhere.
> Another innovation, he says, is the resolution at which Capella’s satellites can collect imagery. Each pixel in one of the satellite’s images represents a 50-centimeter-by-50-centimeter square, while other SAR satellites on the market can only get down to around five meters. When it comes to actually discerning what you’re looking at from space, that makes a huge difference.

If that's what is available to civilians, I'd like to see what 2020 spy satellites can do.
Another good choice in similar vein is the Soviet MosFilm classics, essentially many of the same themes and tropes but seen through an entirely opposite cultural lens.

Quite self-evident actually. You don't need to circumvent a game theoretical modal to deliver the point.

I did downvote you because you said I could, but this is absolutely true. But, it kind of should be true. Government employees need to strongly know the industry they’re regulating to regulate effectively. I can’t imagine someone with zero financial ties and only knowledge from school going to direct how the SEC does investigations any more than I can imagine the same happening at the FDA.

I don’t think there should be so much regulatory capture (there is), but I do think a revolving door of sorts for many positions is helpful from a perspective of knowing the regulated industry and acting with the best knowledge of regulating that industry.

The title is deceitful since it is not really compatible.
A lot of this discussion seems to revolve around running java inside containers without explicitly saying so. Running the JVM brings along a whole host of dependencies which is typically resolved by running a full blown base OS image. It is still desirable by many teams due to past issues with maintaining the JVM on VM or metal hosts.
They've been developing the system, have used it extensively, and have internalized all the details and quirks. They are just as confused at why that question is a question as OP was.

Easy to imagine a world where not everyone has those apps installed - my home is a great example. Also, it’s easy to imagine a huge building full of people who all connect to the internet using one (or maybe a small handful) of nat’d IPs. Maybe we could call that an ‘office’...

I started a masters this year and my word count went from 3K last year to 38K in 2020. There's also my pencil & paper journal for mindfulness and "life" entries which is maybe a couple of pages per week.
This is a fair question.

Because I really do feel that systematically, it's not legal enforcement that is the issue.

99% of it seems to me would be workplace orders - if all governments spaces (aka public transit) require masks, and most corporations require public masks, then it's going to be hard to go to to many places without them.

Maybe however a lot of individual small restaurants and gyms would flaunt the rules, even under threat of shame, which is maybe understandable since the proprietors are facing basically collapse and losing their entire life's savings etc..
If your need of encryption is related to backups, look into "Borg backup". It can handle both encryption and zstd, also do dedupe natively since it's storing data as blocks.
I don't interpret "pulling free CentOS images" as being the same thing as "pulling investment in CentOS" in a thread specifically about docker images.

Existing docker images are still there, future images will continue being pushed (but only for CentOS Stream post-2021), and UBI exists for minor releases of RHEL which is supposed to be identical to CentOS anyways.

And considering the fact that Docker containers don't use the kernel provided by the client OS, the difference between CentOS and CentOS Stream is even smaller than it already was. The most significant changes between minor releases of RHEL / CentOS are in the kernel.
