I can give an n=1 anecdote here: the dns resolver used to have hard-coded caching which meant that it would be unresponsive to pod updates, and cause mini 30s outages. The code in …

Coincidentally, Google has sorta done that too! ChromiumOS/ChromeOS is built using portage, and is certainly rolling release. It's not really a traditional linux distro, but it's s…

> Email has never had explicit threading The "In-Reply-To" header is described in rfc2822. It is an explicit header in the RFC that is how you create threads. Every mail client I'v…

The kubelet can talk to containerd's cri endpoint, yes, but there's one additional bit of complexity. If someone wants to use kubelet + docker so that they can, for example, ssh in…

For what it's worth, there are a few cases where docker vs some other runtime does make a difference. One difference is that if you 'docker build' or 'docker load' an image on a no…

containerd can serve CRI requests itself. This has been the case since the containerd v1.1.0 release[0], which included the cri "plugin" as an in-process part of the containerd bin…

I think that the title of this is a bit misleading. Kubernetes is removing the "dockershim", which is special in-process support the kubelet has for docker. However, the kubelet st…

You're right that nixos / all nix packages isn't/aren't perfectly reproducible. In practice, most of the packages in the nixos base system seem to be reproducible, as tested here: …

A Dockerfile is not a reproducible set of build instructions in most cases. I'd guess that the vast majority of Dockerfiles are not reproducible. Let's look at an example dockerfil…

This proposal is more powerful than that one rust macro, but rust's abilities around embedding files are much more powerful than go's approach. This proposal allows "go build" to e…

Go's channels aren't exposed outside a specific go process's runtime. The runtime doesn't give you any convenient way to redirect them. They're not like erlang's mailboxes at all i…
