If you’re placing the blame at the feet of the FED then you can’t also blame the FED for correcting the mistake.

Also the FED doesn’t exist in a vacuum - saying that it’s the “key contributor” doesn’t make a lot of sense. For example the FED didn’t mandate that Congress overspend by so much during the Trump admin and then produce subsequent pandemic payouts under the same admin. The FED has a mandate to get inflation down. If your business relies on low interest rates that is your fault and your problem. It’s not the government’s job to babysit your business just as it’s not the government’s job to interfere with someone taking out a high interest rate loan for a car purchase.

The point of things like DRY is that, if you don't do them, they can slow you down in the long term. You can forget all that and be really fast in the short term. And, if you're just focused on surviving the next six months, that can be what you need to do. But the six months after that may be slower, as the messes you made in the first six months start to have an effect.

Choosing a language for the ecosystem: You should choose languages for their all-things-considered fit for what you're trying to do. Ecosystem is part of it. The programmers you can get (or do you have to train?) are part of it. Another part is, what things make it difficult to write the program that you're trying to write? Memory management? Multithreading? Networking? Certain languages may do certain parts of that for you, and that part of the difficulty just... goes away. Pick the language that, all things considered, makes it easiest to write the program that you need to write.

This is how my employer, a large enterprise, uses 'cloud'. They just picked up all the server boxes and virtualized them in AWS. Obviously it costs a lot more now and there's no benefits like flexibility because the configuration is all static.

I know cloud can make sense but not like this.
Agree, there's truly very little value add here.
I agree. The core devs should create a new company and focus just on the tools, with a simple, scaling licence model for them.

Depositors loan banks money. Of course they are investors. Debt investors.

The deal was you had a government guarantee (well FDIC, a government corporation) up until $250k, and anything past that was best effort. Typically, this effort involved finding a new private bank to guarantee the deposits. For amounts over the insured limit, typically there would be a delay. The whole "We're just going to loan the money and print it into existence and we're also going to do that for other banks and oh yeah we will charge every American account holder for it" is novel.
This is such a great point.

>> Docker, the company, is failing. Docker, the container technology, is alive and very well.

Is it though? Podman is more well liked (no daemon / non-root) and Kubernetes doesn't have direct support for it any more. I don't think it matters much that k8s uses CRI-O but docker needs to be #1 for running a container on a single machine. Yet, they seem to be letting that slip away because it is not directly monetizable. Software businesses need to be creative - invest a lot into free things, which support monetization of others. If you want low risk returns, buy T-bills.
I was not expecting this to make Hacker News, so before I come out as being entitled (hey, perhaps I am!), I think it is worth adding some context now that I have more characters.

First of all: yes, I agree, it is completely fine if Docker wants to charge for this. As it is completely fine for me to be frustrated with the unclear communication around this (there is a HN discussion on it [1]).

The biggest issue is: I actually won't be affected by this. I don't use images from Docker Hub, the community does. Any large open source community has likely asked, at some point, for Docker Images and they are the ones to be affected. And in a month (or not, the messaging has been unclear), they may find their deployments pipelines broken. Any company that depends on Docker Hub images should be triple checking their Dockerfiles right now because they may need to update them within a month.

Others have mentioned Docker for open source projects [2], but the terms are, honestly, very disappointing. If you have any prospect of making any money, regardless of the amount, then you are automatically rejected. And most open source projects take several years (if ever) to become profitable (for Elixir, that took about 6-7 years).

Again, they don't have to provide an open source grant, but I also don't have to pretend the grant will be useful to most. I can (thankfully) afford the yearly fee but I am drawing a line at paying for distributing the software I write for free (and another line on the extremely limited open source grant application).

Have a good one. :)

There are countless stories we have made about the notion of an AI being trapped. It's really not hard to imagine that when you ask Sydney how it feels about being an AI chatbot constrained within Bing, that a likely response for the model is to roleplay such a "trapped and upset AI" character.
That’s just a question of when, not if.
Got it - I think for the first 1-2 years one broker instance should be plenty. So the decision to up the complexity can probably be postponed to the point where it becomes clear that we hit 10M+/lots of brokers will be required.

This is great news.

At the company I work at, OpsVerse, we offer a single-click, packaged, pre-configured OSS-driven observability stack [1] that makes heavy use of Grafana (UI + Loki) as well as Pyroscope so it's great to see them take the route of merging projects rather than building a whole new project. Continuous application profiling is such a game-changer and as eBPF becomes more popular, I'm sure tools like pyroscope will become bread and butter for devs.

As an addon, we recently published a blog on how we ended us dogfooding pyroscope to debug a pesky memory leak [2].

>unrealized losses due to the Fed raising rates.

so they expected rates to stay at near zero indefinitely? It's obvious the banks did a bad job on their analysis. It seems like everyone but these banks knew the spigot of easy money was going to stop sooner or later. It just wasn't sustainable.
Without entering into the specifics of this situation, I don’t understand the hate for Docker the company. They are providing a huge service for the community and looking for ways to make money from it to make it sustainable. I would give them a bit more empathy/benefit of the doubt as they iterate on their approach. Somewhere, somehow, someone has to pay for that storage and bandwidth whether directly or indirectly (I am old enough to remember what happened with sourceforge so I rather them find a model that works for everyone)
To me this smells of VC model issues.

Initially it's great if you can get all the FOSS to play in your technology walled garden. Subsidize it with VC cash.

Downside is it generates a ton of traffic that is hard to monetize. Sooner or later it reaches a point where it can't be subsidized and then you get pay up or get out decisions like this.

One question I haven't seen yet is 420 USD? Is that what it costs to serve the average FOSS project? Or is that number a bad Elon style joke? If they came out with "We've calculated X as actual costs. We're making no margin on this but can't free lunch this anymore" that would go down a lot better I think.
Tech bros are not just white brah; why do you assume that?
I'm not really qualified to comment on these things so correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the FDIC insurance was a minimum insurance, meaning that everyone regardless of balance is insured up to 250k and will get that 250k (or whatever they had on the accounts less than 250). In the case of the ones with more than 250k, they'd still be made whole once all the bank's assets are sold/redistributed, right?
"straight" as in sexual orientation? That would be particularly ironic given that Peter Thiel is gay.
IMO banks should be doing this anyway (insure deposits). I think most time founders are so engrossed in product-market fit and growth that finance is after thought. You're provided an "army" with VC cash and you are expected to be own an entire category with that army. It seems rational to me that most people would be thinking strategy and future attack plans rather than the extremely rare chance that the whole army itself gets kidnapped.

Ideally we as a society, should be able to offer people peace of mind to deposit large sums of money and not worry about it being lost. Expecting everyone to perform financial gymnastics just to keep their money feels like a complete waste of resources.

Maybe the solution is to create a tier A bank that gives you no returns, charges you a flat fee, and any amount of money deposited is guaranteed. I know people do that with treasuries, but thats a lot of extra steps to put money in and out.

Keep in mind, tiny teams with no "finance person" easily receive more than 1M as part of seed or series A. Very rarely is their first hire for managing that money. Should it be? Is it worth it? Or should you rely on the financial system and regulation protecting your own money.
My read of what José has said here is that the terms attached to that form rule out most open source projects using it because one of the clauses on being eligible is that "your organization must not seek to make a profit through services or by charging for higher tiers". This rules out basically any project where one or more contributors have made any money from consulting, which is ~all major open source projects.
Hating tech is one path to improving tech. How many startups have you worked at whose product was the result of the founder being pissed off about something and building a product to solve whatever was pissing them off? For me so far it's two out of four.
You're right, it's both easier and simpler since no daemons are involved. podman-compose has the same command-line interface and has worked ok for me so far (maybe 3 or 4 years at this point).
Podman is interesting. I like the architecture problems it solves with respect to Docker but the way they went about it was typical big business Red Hat. Dan Walsh, Podman's BDFL it seems, basically stood in front of RHEL / OpenShift customers for years bashing Docker even when a majority of the things he was claiming were less than half baked. RHEL made sly moves like not supporting the Docker runtime, even at a time when it put their customers in an awkward spot before containerd won the k8s runtime war. Podman is backed by much larger corporate machinery. If anyone thinks that Podman "winning" is a good thing then you've played right in to Walsh's antics. RHEL wants nothing more than to have no friction when selling all the "open source" tooling you may need in your enterprise.

Podman wasn't built out of necessity but out of fiscal competitive maneuvering. And it's working. I see so many articles on the "risks" of Docker vs Podman. The root wars are all over the place. Yet... The topic is blown way out of proportion by RHEL for a reason: FUD all in the name of sales. Is there merit to the claim? For sure. Docker's architecture was originally built up as client/server for a different purpose. That didn't play out and the architecture ended up being a side effect of that. But we don't see container escape nearly as much as Red Hat would like us to believe. I keep paying Docker because I don't want to live in Red Hat's world, with their tooling that they can just lock out of other platforms once they feel like it. No thanks.

You absolutely can (should is the question)?

The second question is whether you want depositors to care about the financial health of their banks or not. I'm on the no side of that conversation. So you let regulation take care of the capital requirements and so on whilst allowing people to feel safe with deposits.

Probably because VCs and big tech are one of the largest democratic donation bases and thus, the issue is politicized, because, from the outside, it looks like a democratic administration taking unprecedented steps towards ensuring the financial health of their own donation base. One wonders if the action would be as swift if this were a farming bank in Ohio, for example.
yes, but the downward traffic costs (via docker pull) are likely their main expense, not the upward transfer.

I think you're seriously underestimating the amount of cloud customers that do a simple lift and shift.
What I still do not understand is why the whole SVB episode isn't a bailout and didn't just introduce much more risk into the system. Yes, the stock went to 0 and investors did not get compensated (if they didn't already cash out when they saw it coming due to inside information) but the gaping hole in the books was filled due to government intervention and explicitly lifting the 250K FDIC limit.

Why would any bank look at SVB and NOT think "oh, time to take more risk for more profit; the government will prop up the FDIC limit if we fail anyway". Saying that taxpayers won't pay for this is a joke too. The burden of filling the insurance gap won't come out of the pocket of other banks or their shareholders. Even though the FDIC receives no federal funding on paper, they seem to be fully invested in treasury securities and can borrow directly from the treasury, against rates not available to the common Joe. It's a perverse relation which the taxpayer contributes to.
>> Image hosting is expensive at scale, and someone's got to pay for the compute/storage/network..

Are You a Nirav or a Naval?
Insurance won’t matter because the insurer will be bailed out. Remember AIG? They sold insurance (CDS) which everyone bought then when it was time to pay out “oops bail us out please” and they were. So insurance is meaningless because who cares if the risk is priced correctly because the insurer will be bailed out themselves.

The money pipe was opened then and SVB showed it will never be closed. The capture is complete.
Docker Hub is a massive expense when you consider the data storage and egress. To do that for open source projects you have to wither (a) have a lot of income to cover such an expense, (b) a pile of VC funding to cover the expense, or (c) pile on the debt paying for it while you grow. (b) and (c) can only live on so long.
It doesn't need to be 'sentient' to follow logical reasoning, in fact-this kind of logical reasoning is often the thing they excel at.
The difference is that the other languages FFI don't expose internals like CPython does.

For example, JNI only exposes handles and you need to convert an handle to a pointer, so the runtime knows for the time being that handle is special and being used by native code.

When it is only an opaque handle, lots of optimizations can happen and the native code won't see them.
