This. It's why vagrant was popular before the container revolution.

The killer app of Docker isn't the container, it's the depth and uniformity of the UX surrounding the container system. When that is broken by something on the host (non x86 cpu was a major pain for a while before popular images were x-built) and emulation gets in the way and is not as easy, or just mildly different (windows behind corporate firewalls that assign ips used by the docker engine for example), the ease of use falls away for non-power users and it's all painful again.

Tech like Docker for windows and Rancher Desktop and lima has largely matured at this point, but somebody could make a new machine and then the process of gradual improvement starts all over again.

Hey there! It seems you're living in a home that well.. is on our turf now, as the kids say these days!

Now, that's not to say we can't do this in a civil manner! Either you can move out, or... we can just bulldoze your home.

Use batteries and ban diesel generators. If places that uses diesel generators find batteries cheaper, safer and better than other alternatives then they should use that.

Burning massive amount of diesel in population centers or in nature reserves should be not be an available option. Do you object to that?

A more nuanced and less emotional take on the situation.
Nice if you can afford it! With Apple's current prices, most of us don't have that luxury.
Not really a nice thing to say - not everyone is inclined to move to the US (for me, and I'm not that cool, it'd need to be more than 6 digits). I suspect there is plenty competent people wishing to stay in Australia (in fact, a lot of healthcare folk here in Ireland have decided to move there - weather is so much better, despite the giant spider and murderous fauna problem).

Predators here in Ireland are terrifying. The other day I was almost adopted into a family of feral cats.
we arguably already had this with things like python venv.

the articles main point still remains, containers are a slow and bloated answer to this problem.

I concede youll need containers for Kubernetes, and Kubernetes on the surface is a very good idea, but this level of infrastructure automation exists already in things like foreman and openstack. designs like shift-on-stack trade simplicity of traditional hardware for ever byzantine levels of brittle versioned complexity...so ultimately instead of fixing the problem we invoke the god of immutability, destroy and rebuild, and hope the problem fixes itself somehow...its really quite comical.

baremetal rust/python/go with good architecture and CI will absolutely crush container workloads in a fraction of disk, CPU, RAM, and personal frustration.
Can confirm it's present on mobile.
Oof. Yes. Thanks for the correction.
Ha, yes, I knew that 3 was a thing (4 was new to me) and just forgot it as I was stream-of-conscious-ing my way through that list.
Where is this Web 3.0 that I can move to? Do you have a link?
No, they are nothing alike touchscreens. The whole and only point of a touchscreen is that you touch the actual visible thing on the screen (you touch the screen). Track pads, as good as they are, have 0 to do with that.

Just imagine if they offered a Mac without a keyboard, just the trackpad and the screen.
I think that is a gross overstatement. The language has evolved (and should evolve) substantially over the last few decades. Experience from the NoSQL world has influenced SQL (though obviously not always as much as I'd like). I'd also rate the mutual intelligibility of various dialects at around 80-90%, which is still really high, all things considered.

But none of that is the problem. I'm not a data analyst. I don't need a query Swiss army knife. I need a database that behaves predictably under concurrency at a level I can understand. I need primitive operations that map well to the persistence needs of an app serving multiple users at scale. I've never said SQL is incapable or even inadequate at these tasks but figuring out how to do them correctly ends up being a test of English skills rather than picking the right function to call and the right arguments to pass it.

Yes, Kata started as clear containers. And yes, the main purpose is compatibility with containers -- though generally speaking, adding layers to the cloud stack never helps to make a deployment more efficient. On kraft.cloud we use Dockerfiles to specify app/filesystem, but then at deploy time automatically and transparently convert that to a specialized VM/unikernel for best performance.
Yes, i absolutely agree with you. I have noticed a significant rise in depression, sleep disruptions and anxiety among kids that use mobile phones for a longer duration. I believe that controlling the screen time of the kids is necessary as an excessive screen time can be dangerous for children. I think this addiction can be cured by using a kid control app, wherein what kid uses on the phone and for how much time they can use the phone can be set by the parent. Once the parent take control over the usage of smartphones by the children, then only the urge of using phones can be curbed. One of the best software's that i have come across is Kidfirstphone which is very effective in dealing with such issues.
Self referential.
That's because some interested parties have advertised containers, because they are good to sell as pre-built stuff, nice to sell VPS and alike etc, while pure IaC is useful for anyone and invite NOT to be dependent on third party platforms.

It's not a technical matter, it's a human, economical matter and actually... Most people are poor, following the largest scale means following poverty not a good thing.
> Coppola has been trying to make this movie for more than 40 years, during which the project has gone through innumerable rewrites, delays and false starts. It exists now only because he sold part of his successful winery estate to finance the movie when no one else would.

After reading that, I definitely want to see it!
>Booking.com is a Dutch company though.

Booking.com was an example I used because it was still fresh in my mind from another post today[0]. The comments not only talked about how the EU only hurts US companies, but also it included a discussion about whether booking.com could be called American or Dutch.

>Most people within the EU I know of (myself included) are happy to see companies like Booking.com more regulated though, not less.

I completely agree, I merely reported what I see as the prevalent opinion by many Americans on this site who see the situation differently.

Craigslist famously has just 50 employees. Indeed has 260 employees for every single Craigslist employee -- or, in other words, Craigslist gets by with 0.038% as many employees.

In the US, Craigslist is the more popular website (#22 vs. #28 per Similarweb.) Indeed.com is marginally more popular internationally.

How on Earth does this happen? Optimizing for headcount?
Not like there's nothing else to construct.

Maybe it's time to construct some (high[er] density) housing where people want to live? No? Okay, then maybe next decade ... but then let's construct transport for them so they can get to work, how about some new subway lines? Ah, okay, not that either.

Then I guess the only thing remains to construct is all the factories that will be built as companies decouple from China.
Just dropping in to say I appreciate the kind and friendly contextualization of your feedback. It would be really easy for someone in your position to be unfriendly in communicating this. This kind of tact and emotional intelligence is something I really cherish seeing from strangers on the Internet.
You don't need a VM on Mac to run containers, check out OrbStack, they provide a Docker compatible engine that is using native MacOS capabilities for running containers without the hidden Linux VM.
Every corporate workplace is already thinking: How can I surveil and record everything an employee does as training data for their replacement in 3 years time.
Yeah, the pinch stuff probably wouldn't work well on a phone. I don't know for certain that the problem is even solvable. But it could be made better, and it's clear Apple either doesn't care to try, or thinks that the tools are so frozen in peoples' minds that innovation wouldn't be accepted.
I had the same reaction. I agree that it sounded very staged, but it also sounded far too cheerful and creepily flirty too. Unbearable.

Technically, and simplifying enormously, the VM emulates the whole machine while the Container scopes the OS process. I prefer the analogy of an office building.

Your VM is your whole office building and overnight maybe a whole new company can move in but still using the whole building. Your Container is a set of rules, somebody told you when arrived to the reception desk. About where is the only office in the building you can use, plus maybe some common access to shared areas once in a while, like WC and Kitchen. :-)
Convenience always wins. Of course an employee could upload documents one at a time to chatgpt and ask questions, but having a shared environment with your corporate knowledgebase (Notion, Slack, Drive, etc.) is going to be much more convenient.

It's like saying Slack isn't super useful because you can already send messages and files by email.

Now who knows if this particular product will win, since there's probably a hundred similar products on the market. But I'm confident some variant of "gpt wrapper for business" will do quite well.
Thanks for the recommendation! It seems I will enjoy it; it belongs in the same theme as Mark Twain's novel, only it's not humorous.

On that note, Wikipedia took me to "The Man Who Came Early" by Poul Anderson, which fits what I'm saying exactly: a modern day man is taken back to Viking-age Iceland, where his knowledge fails him catastrophically as he is unable to explain it or put it into practice, to disastrous results.
Fire half the staff, double the prices to users?
It does in theory. But in practice most standard software does not let you manage smaller subnets. For example dnsmasq dhcp config:

> The minimum size of the prefix length is 64.

In practice, you can patch it and it should work fine. But almost everyone else is against you here.

I hope enough ISPs are doing stupid assignment for the limit to be removed one day by default. There's really no sane use for /64 per node.
If you actually read what he says[1] as opposed to some ultra-right-wing blog that picks up a soundbite and makes a diatribe out of it--, you'll find that he says that "the-stake-doesn't-make-mistakes" is what people expect, not that it's actually true. People expect, demand, that regulations and decisions are bulletproof and that's one of the causes of bureaucracy.

Which is undoubtedly true, it's a cover-your-ass mentality that also exists in corporations, but governments absolutely excel at it.

> People with your sentiment said the same thing about all cool tech that changed the world.

They also said it about all the over-hyped tech that did not change the world. This mentality of “detractors prove something is good” is survivorship bias.

Note I’m not saying you’ll categorically be proven wrong, just that your argument isn’t particularly strong or valid.

You're hitting on another issue we gardeners are noticing - overall the temps are warmer, causing things to bud early, but there are still cold snaps. The cold snaps aren't any colder than they should be for the time of year, the problem is the inter-snap days are a lot warmer. This increased variance in temperature is actually worse than the average temperature getting warmer.
It a hundred percent is not.

If it takes more than 2 minutes, and you’re not blocked on input, schedule it.

What about all the banking apps etc. It's will be still painful replacing them.
If you run multiple instances of a container image, you get a reproducible environment.

If you run a docker build multiple times, and copy a few files into the container, you get a reproducible container image. It is not a hash perfect duplicate, but functionally equivalent.

If builds of your favourite programming language are reproducible or not, is not really related to VM vs. Container.

It has absolutely nothing to do with Pg wodehouse, it's a "data warehouse" sitting on a "data lake", which simply combines those two terms while keeping the "lake" and "house" metaphors quite well because you do actually get lake houses on lakes.
But you don't need to write against all the layers of crud. You only have to write against the bottom layer, the kernel API. This sort of software would have no need to specifically support "libxml" or "TLS", because that is multiple layers above what this sort of software does.

The flip side is that if you want something like low-level access to your specific graphics card you may need to implement a lot of additional support. But of course nothing says you have to use this everywhere at the exclusion of everything else. There's plenty of systems in the world that from the kernel point of view are basically "I need TCP" and a whole bunch of compute and nothing else terribly special.
The free-trade era is over. It only works if the whole world plays along, once a big economy starts doing industrial policy, everyone needs to also do industrial policy to re-level the playing field. A sad time for consumers, but ultimately a necessary thing to do.
Platforms in general are evil by their nature. (Unlike protocols.) Some are less evil than others of course.

Docker has a big community, lots of guides, and ready-to-use containers. It became pretty much a de facto standard for self-hosting things. You also have a very high chance of getting a piece of software to work out of the box as intended with Doker. The only way this or some other way of running stuff will overtake Doker is if it will match the Docker in these aspects.

As much as I'd love to try this lightweight VM idea, I don't have the time or energy to convert 20+ projects I'm self-hosting into this and then keep everything updated. I'd rather invest this time into learning Docker more and making my existing setup more secure and robust.
Python venv is language specific, doesn't handle the interpreter version and doesn't handle C libraries.

I really don't understand why people do this: I get having a distaste for containers but some people, seeing the massive success of OCI images, mainly seem content on trying to figure out how to discredit its popularity, rather than trying to understand why it's popular. The former may be good for contrarian Internet forums, but the latter is more practically useful and interesting.

I say this with some level of understanding as I also have a distaste for containers and Docker is not my preferred way to do "hermetic" or "reproducible" (I am a huge Nix proponent.) I want to get past the "actually it was clearly useless from the start" because it wasn't...
M4 iPad Pro Review: Here we go again
Not really, you'd still need a proper chroot / etc.

Check out https://github.com/jrz/container-shell
I agree iPadOS is not good enough, but when I hear people call for Apple to merge devices and troll them for maximizing profits, I have to roll my eyes.

Okay, let's add background task processing, hungrier apps like Xcode, more simultaneous apps. I guess we'll need more memory and compute resources, and so therefore we'll need more battery, too.

So now I have a 2 lb iPad that doesn't have enough internal space to cool itself. Great. Thanks internet.
> So much here is wrong I'm kind of astounded.

Let me nitpick too: is this really an accurate statement?

The first rebuttal (flipped homes) highlights an actual error, though does not comment on how this error impacts on the statement made by op.

It's not clear whether the second statement really highlights any issues, since it is not made clear why 25% vs 30% would change the argument. Nor is referenced how many of the investors are private equity firms.

So in summary I think your opening statement really doesn't hold, given the arguments you present. Would you disagree?

Is this really more an emotional argument dressed in pseudo-factual language?
In the end, some movies get great press and reviews, and no one cares; some get shitty press and horrible reviews, and it wins the box office. An artist creates art, and everyone else then gets to decide whether they like it or not. You never know until it comes out.
at one point i started to make a gem called "dora" where you could "explore" the page with methods around the capybara driver, but never finished it. for example: page.find_blog_posts.highlight_all would draw a blue box around each "blog_post" element.
I suspect that microprocessors might be the sticking point. It's possible to manufacture small integrated circuits in a home lab setting, albeit it's certainly not easy, and you're still reliant on an industrial chemical supply chain for the raw materials. You might even be able to get up to the level of a microcontroller or an older microprocessor. But, as I understand it, modern microprocessors are really difficult to make without very specialised machinery and a lot of proprietary knowledge.

High density data storage would probably also be an issue. And I'm not sure about batteries - I don't know how much proprietary tech is required to make the difference between a basic functional lithium battery versus one that actually stores enough energy to be practical.

"Add a keyboard" isn't an answer to the point raised, which is that the virtual keyboard on iOS is highly-sub-optimal, and Apple isn't working hard enough to improve it.

I'm surprised there isn't an entire point about car loans. If you took the average car payment and invested it over 30 years, it would turn into millions. If anyone wonders why they don't have money in retirement, it was depreciating in the driveway the entire time. (Not the garage, because that stores the ultimately worthless junk they bought with credit cards.)
I really don't have any issue with iPad being focused in non-technical users, but them Apple really should drop the "Pro" moniker in iPad and just stop using Apple Mx and go back to use Ax CPUs instead (and also, a sharp drop in price).

I think that is the main point of the article above, and also why so many people would want an iPad Pro to actually have Pro features [1].

[1]: Yes, I know about iPhone Pro, but at least iPhone Pro have some exclusive features that make sense for Pro users like USB 3.0 and ProRes camera features. However in the case of iPad Pro, what is actually the workflow that requires a better CPU? Final Cut? And that is it basically.
Artificial intelligence hitting labour forces like a "tsunami" – IMF Chief
A movie about an architect redesigning a city. The city it basically new york, which the director believes is the center of the world. The love interest is the mayor's daughter. Financed with proceeds from the sale of the director's winery. This isn't the mud and rain of movies like Apocalypse Now. This reeks of the money and elitisms of Battlefield Earth or Batman Forever.
> I am routinely getting zero useful results on the first page or two of Google searches, but AI is answering or giving me guidance quickly.

To me, this just sounds like Google Search has become shit, and since Google simply isn't going to give up the precious ad $$$ that the current format is generating, the next best thing is ChatGPT. But this is different from saying that ChatGPT is a similar step up like Search was.

For what it's worth, I agree with you that Google Search has become unusable. Google basically destroyed it's best product (for users), by turning it into an ad riddles shovelware cesspit.

That ChatGPT is similarly good like Google Search used to be, is a tragedy. Basically we had a conceptually simple product that functioned very well, and we are replacing it with a significantly more complex product.
It seems like OP meant for it to be negative because they think that it is negative. You're just explaining their point back to them.

Just because transactions are "basic" doesn't mean they aren't also negative and, therefore, exploitative.

The bit about them not selling your information outright: the way that they sell those ads is based off of your information. The way that they do so matters, but not as much for this particular conversation: they are still exploiting your data regardless of the precise way that they package it.

Yes, you can use their services to get features and abilities for free. Nobody is saying that part is bad. The problem is that they have made it hard/impossible to go anywhere else if you don't want to use them.

The "company stores" of yore also made it particularly easy to get the tools and supplies you needed, but it was still an unfair trade. The fact that Google and Facebook make such massive economic profit off of something supposedly so worthless as personal data just doesn't add up.
