Please. I’ve read plenty of biologically motivated drawbacks of the male sex, both here and other more “enlightened” corners of the interwebs Supposedly, they are bunch of pre-verbal, emotionally out-of-touch nitwits so focused on competition they can’t figure out how to cooperate.


This is only necessary because docker is steaming pile of hot garbage. It’s the leakiest of leaky abstractions, and a hoarder to boot.


Could you explain why is it so leaky?


Client/server model is one of the leakiest things of Docker. Try mounting a relative path, or run docker inside docker, or try to inherit the current user’s security privileges.

To this day I don’t understand what problems the client/server model solved, and why it was worth all the problems it created.


I guess - and I might be very wrong here - that the reason for client / server architecture was to be able to schedule docker containers on several hosts without the need to ssh into them. And I guess something like docker-in-docker or docker containers accessing the Unix socket would be more complicated.


But why the need for Unix sockets or anything like that? Creating a container is a fancy fork(), and executing that through a foreign process (especially when on the same server) makes no sense to me.

Remember, containers are just Linux cgroups, there is nothing “special” about a container that requires a client/server.


For me and my coworkers, the leakiness is mostly around networking. If you start the wrong vpn, docker doesn’t work. If your ip tables aren’t set up just so, docker doesn’t work. Yet the documentation would lead you to believe that how docker does networking should be considered an implementation detail.


Is there a better alternative on OS X?


Man, I 100% agree. This PC crap is the worst thing to happen to humanity in the last 500 years.


If you've only recently picked up this interest in History, hold on to your seat. You're in for a surprise.


No, but it's rather similar to many of the worst things that have happened to humanity. It's yet another attempt to rule through fear, by making people afraid to disagree, supported by people who seek revenge instead of coexistence.


Enter Godwin’s Law...


Don’t do this. You’re pretending to know what the op is thinking, aside from what they actually said.


You can't possibly be trying to argue that the OP actually does find the term "SSL" as abhorrent as some of the terms being considered, such as "master/slave", are you? That the OP legitimately feels this way and is not just pulling something out of their behind for the sake of arguing disingenuously?


God I feel like I’m on reddit with nonsense comments like theirs. It’s baffling how they can’t see why master/slave MIGHT be an issue and compare it arbitrary offenses.


Personally, I find linear regression makes more sense from an orthogonality of sub-spaces perspective. That the same solution can be derived as the optimum of some cost function is neat though.


As a 30 something, single developer in boulder, if I knew my current job was going to be remote for the long haul, I would leave this place in heartbeat for some tiny town in Wyoming. Boulder and the rest of colorado have become entirely too crowded.


My experience was nearly the opposite. I tried to teach myself c 15 years ago and found pointers completely bewildering. I didn’t really know how to program any other language then. After a 10 year, non-technical interlude, I went to grad school and spent 5 years writing matlab. In the last year, I decided to learn c again. This time, pointers seemed completely straightforward. The most difficult part for me this round was keeping the syntax straight.


Out of curiosity, what was your issue the first time?


It starts to become gummy and clogs up fuel injectors and carb jets. If you are really driving that little, do yourself a favor and put some fuel stablizer in the tank.


This has been the case from day with essentially every story I have read. A month ago, when my company started working from, I was caught rather by surprise because I don’t really follow the news.

I wanted a frame of reference, how bad is this thing, really? I googled “Coronavirus vs swine flu vs sars vs mers vs West Nile virus.” Every single hit was a conspiracy theory like website. Which tells you that no “serious” journalist could be bothered to ask that obvious question. Nope. All they can be bothered to do is write fear mongering drivel this.


Pretty good description of all the gripes people have.

Hiring software devs is a damned if you do, damned if you don’t proposition—somebody is always gonna bitch.


The only unambiguously wrong position is that the system works well and isn't worth improving.
