> Open Image Spec ... As we continue to grow the contributor community to the Docker project, we wanted to encourage more work in the area around how Docker constructs images and their layers. As a start, we have documented how Docker currently builds and formats images and their configuration. Our hope is that these details allow contributors to better understand this critical facet of Docker as well as help contribute to future efforts to improve the image format. The v1 image specification can be found here: https://github.com/docker/docker/blob/master/image/spec/v1.m...

This is a great start, and I hope this doesn't sound negative, but this likely wouldn't be here if CoreOS hadn't shaken things up the way they did with ACI/Rocket.

While I don't like school for those reasons, I also don't like how I don't get any options to actually learn stuff. Especially stuff that I care about. (I do learn some things, but not much.)

I personally like math, but we have spent more than a week on basic sin/cos/tan/csc/sec/cot curves doing things I already know.

Also, I don't like stress. Some amount of stress is bad, but I don't care about my grades anymore because that was too much stress. (I'm good at school, so I can get good grades just by doing my homework, the increase isn't worth the stress.)

I've also noticed the few adults (mostly my mom/relatives) I've talked to in real life about school (I've talked to other people in running start (college classes in high school) or at game jams, but not about how I don't like school.) seem to be of the opinion that I "need to learn stuff and things."

If I learn less after school I will be very disappointed, because I'm pretty much terrible at everything I do and I need to get decent at something.

"“All without taking a single dime in venture capital,” the company said in the news release. Eat24 attributes its success to hard work, chutzpah, comfortable shoes and a thing or two not mentionable in this publication."

Anyone want to speculate what "a thing or two not mentionable" is? Adderal? Modafinil? THC?

"Ng Security Industries Semi-Autonomous Guard Unit #A-367 lives in a pleasant black-and-white Metaverse where porterhouse steaks grow on trees, dangling at head level from low branches, and blood-drenched Frisbees fly through the crisp, cool air for no reason at all, until you catch them.

He has a little yard all to himself. It has a fence around it. He knows he can't jump over the fence. He's never actually tried to jump it, because he knows be can't. He doesn't go into the yard unless he has to. It's hot out there.

He has an important job: Protect the yard. Sometimes people come in and out of the yard. Most of the time, they are good people, and he doesn't bother them. He doesn't know why they are good people. He just knows it. Sometimes they are bad people, and he has to do bad things to them to make them go away. This is fitting and proper.

Out in the world beyond his yard, there are other yards with other doggies just like him. These aren't nasty dogs. They are all his friends.

The closest neighbor doggie is far away, farther than he can see. But he can hear this doggie bark sometimes, when a bad person approaches his yard. He can hear other neighbor doggies, too, a whole pack of them stretching off into the distance, in all directions. He belongs to a big pack of nice doggies.

He and the other nice doggies bark whenever a stranger comes into their yard, or even near it. The stranger doesn't hear him, but all the other doggies in the pack do. If they live nearby, they get excited. They wake up and get ready to do bad things to that stranger if he should try to come into their yard.

When a neighbor doggie barks at a stranger, pictures and sounds and smells come into his mind along with the bark. He suddenly knows what that stranger looks like. What he smells like. How he sounds. Then, if that stranger should come anywhere near his yard, he will recognize him. He will help spread the bark along to other nice doggies so that the entire pack can all be prepared to fight the stranger."

I take it this is different from the NodeRED[0] thing IBM released a year or two ago? So, if node.js proper was closer to v8 HEAD, then they might find that the v8 team has recently been supportive of utilizing "precompiled scripts" (in v8 parlance). And I don't believe divorcing node from v8 is hard. Nobody is interested[1] (long term) in supporting such a divorce. For the most part, creating an API that would support both at the same time is maybe a month's worth of work at most.

i'm sorry but this is utterly ridiculous.

IBM is a company, an entity. it is made of people, but it is not a person (although americans might try to disagree..). it is a paper-clip maximiser, only instead of paperclips, it's cash.

it does not have morals, it does not have a conscience, irrelevant of the fact that the people that make it up do. to blame a company for doing exactly what it was made to do is madness.

if IBM didn't do it, another company would have done it. IBM could have failed, in fact, as a result. or at least, they might not be in the position they are now.

you may be tempted to argue that, morally, IBM should have not agreed to take part, regardless of the effect on the company. you wouldn't be entirely wrong. but a company does not have morals. not having morals is what allows them to make such vast amounts of profits.

when health insurance companies fight to the death (sometimes literally) to avoid paying out claims, where is this moral outrage? or when BP do literally whatever they want to environment, where does the outrage dissipate to after the media gets bored of talking about it?

we can not expect companies to be moral agents. we can not expect them to value human life over cash. to punish an entity with no conscience makes no sense. it would be akin to shouting at the wind for blowing, or kicking a hatstand for falling over.

the best we can hope to do is stop companies from engaging in "immoral" behaviour (whatever that means - they change over time) whilst they are committing it.

otherwise, lets start legal action with hugo boss for constructing nazi uniforms. or VW (literally, the "peoples car") for working with nazi germany.

Sorry, but I just don't buy this wishful thinking of low hour high productivity. Personally, I probably hit peak productivity around 60 hours although I rarely work for longer than 4 hours without taking a break to eat lunch/dinner or play with my daughter. People who hit peak productivity at 30 hours probably just don't like what they're working on as much and so of course founders select for the former. That said this only relevant if you're trying to be highly productive. I have nothing against people who choose to spend their energy on other things.

We're actually putting a paper together that uses Jitsu so you might find that answers most of your questions (the team is busy with eval at the moment).

For the time-being, Jitsu [1] 'just' spawns a unikernel which serves requests, with no apparently latency for the requester. At some point, when the unikernel hasn't done anything for a while, it is culled (which is something of an implementation detail). In principle, we should be able to use this as part of a set of tools to create the hyper-elastic clouds mentioned upthread.

"5 years from now after the cost for storage is infinite and free"

Stuff like this strikes me as a bit sclerotic and shortsighted. Sort of the techno-utopian flip side of the Malthusians of the 70s[1] arguing that food will run out on Earth.

The direction of the cost of storage (down) is predictable. But human behavior is not. And the impact of future innovation on human behavior is also not predictable. That's why oil could drop 50% in the last 60 days. It's why Paul Ehrlich and John Malthus were wrong. And why Dropbox could end up being a truly great company.

When we're filming 1 TB/s holograms of our kids playing baseball, Dropbox's free 500 PB tier just isn't going to cut it!

I'm hoping that you were not the one who down-voted a my perfectly legitimate point of view.

I agree with you that there is a little bit of a straw man attack going on here...if you haven't read Christensen's book. That being said, the author does present a number of cases in which Christensen's theory does not seem to apply. The general piece of advice that many people take from the Innovator's Dilemma is the idea of entering at the low end of the market where well-established firms will not compete with you. You can innovate in a much more narrow area with a small team and survive off of thin margins as you continue improving your value proposition. This is a very nice idea, but it is most certainly not some sort of universal formula for making money. I think the author of the article brings out some interesting cases of where this breaks down.

As far as the ARM processor...I'm not quite sure how that relates to Christensen's thesis that disruptive innovation enters at the lower end of the market and moves up. The ARM processor is most definitely an example of a sustaining innovation. Of course you could make the claim that the ARM processor allowed for a significant software advantage at a still reasonable cost, still fulfilling Christensen's thesis. I think that would be a weak argument and the rational error contained within is rather visible to any who was alive when the iPhone was released.

In any case, the article was well composed even if you disagree with his thesis. I didn't not comment that I felt as though this article was a masterpiece that was going destroy the Innovator's Dilemma. I simply enjoyed the article and thought the contrarian point of view was thought-provoking. In addition, the article did not claim to be an overview and rehashing of Christensen's entire thesis. He made very clear at the outset that he was summarizing Christensen's perspective. Hence, if you didn't like the article, fine. However, it annoys me that my innocent comment expressing enjoyment is discarded as if it were written without thought or consideration.

While I'm not sure I agree with your overall thesis (a company is made up of people at the end of the day), I do feel there is a point to be made here: Is the IBM of today the IBM of 20-40 years ago? A person is not controlled by different beings at different times of their life, a corporation is.

The legal brief, from a quick skim, appear to reference actions taken in the 70's and 80's.

Is the IBM of today the same one that existed in the 70's? The same people running it and making the same decisions?

If the answer is no, I'm not sure what significance this lawsuit holds, other than a symbolic "sticking it to the corporations" one. The only people being punished in such a case are those that had nothing to do with the original wrongdoing.

Wheels are notoriously poor at navigating rough terrain; that's why we build roads. We could build a vehicle with wheels or treads so huge it effectively flattens anything in its way, and we do -- but for some missions (support for a squad of soldiers on foot, say) it makes sense and is much cheaper to build a small legged vehicle.

This is the most absurd, depressing thing that I've read in a while.

The point of a corporation is not to have a legal person without morals.

The point of a corporation is to allocate resources more efficiently than could be done by legal individuals.

We can expect corporations not to facilitate mass murder. We should expect corporations not to facilitate mass murder.

The argument that we should not punish transgressions just because some corporations are not punished for transgressions is cowardice in the highest degree.

This is exactly what people do when they go to school: they take on huge amounts of debt in order to make their income grow by >100% YoY for a few years.

Very few incoming college students know enough about finance or exactly what different choices will payout to make smart trade-offs in this area, but this reasoning is pretty common with MBA and Law School students. Occasionally it even works; I've known a few young lawyers who ended law school with $200K in debt, but it was paid off within 4 years and their income was roughly 8x what it was before law school.

Well, I'm French and have a much easier time with spelling in English than in French... Joke aside, I guess having multiple sequence of characters map to the same sound have more of an effect on making spelling difficult.

While I think that indeed a given sequence of characters is generally pronounced the same what is confusing for children is the plethora of consonants that are not pronounced. So ils chantent and il ment. écoles et les and so on... There's also the liaisons that adds a lot of confusion between what's written and what's actually pronounced. But maybe you're right and this is more of a problem in English.
