Thanks for this. Lots of great sequences from the 80s presented there along with on my of my all-time favorite openings - Ghost in the Shell [0]. I've always felt failing to put to…

Wow, it has probably been 15 years since I read something from Raph Koster. So long that I had to think for a bit to recall why that name didn't quite feel right - until Designer D…

The episode of This American Life referenced is well worth a listen if you've ever been curious about what trying to do good work inside a crushing bureaucracy sounds like. 1: http…

What are there, 1B Android users? I'm sure Google would like that to be 7B. I'd wager the complaints of the sort of people who frequent lobste.rs or HN are not representative of th…

As the article points out, Woz was Chief Scientist at Fusion-IO [1] as well. That company struggled [2] before being acquired by SanDisk for less than the IPO price. It was a diffe…

Yeah, those are layers in the image. That image [1] (727MB) is built on buildpack-deps [2] (695MB) which is itself built on the base jessie (154MB). It would be pretty straightforw…

Disappointing book and disappointing voting that saw both submissions of this post buried so quickly - this one was on the front page #30 when I got up for a stretch and buried amo…

Pretty confusing. My guess/hope... This is aiming to be GMail + Google Now for the enterprise. Something that will parse your mail, schedule and contacts to generate suggestions or…

I'm not sure how to interpret that quote. In the context of Docker it's inconvenient, but entirely straightforward to create images that don't include those elements. It's a matter…

I'm disappointed that this requires an invite, particularly so close after Container Engine which I was able to try out immediately while still watching Cloud Platform Live the oth…
