    TLDR facts about Docker Sandboxes (based on its install): Uses ContainerD compiled natively for Mac OS and uses Nerdbox for the VMs: ├── bin │ └── sbx ├── libexec │ ├── containerd-…

    Also some WASM there too... though WASM is mostly limited to Tree Sitter for language parsing. Not touching those in phase 1 :-)

    By the way, I reversed engineered the Claude Code binary and started sharing different code snippets (on twitter/bluesky/mastadon/threads). There's a lot of code there, so I'm look…

    Nice and simple interface! Congrats! There are a number of web/SaaS based vulnerability scanners out there actually :) Snyk's SaaS does it, for example. Free to sign up, free to us…

    Quite a few vulnerabilities don't have CVEs. You can find some of them in the Github Security Advisories.

    You are oversimplifying it picking comp as a single/only dimension. There's so much more to being in a startup. That's ok. For some people maximizing current comp is the most impor…

    Wonder if anybody is really using buildpacks... The stats i've seen recently show that it doesn't have much adoption and I'm very curious why it's not adopted more. The post also d…

    Cool to see that people still find "50 Shades of Go" useful :) If anybody has additional gotchas you want to share I'd love to add them!

    Alpine's libc is intentionally non-standard* and Alpine (at least, some of their members) explicitly state that Alpine is not GNU Linux while most other distros people use are :) d…

    One word... libc :-) There's tons of info on the internet about the gotchas in Alpine. Even fly.io gave up on using/supporting Alpine based container images and they are probably o…

    Seems like today is the day of misconceptions for docker-slim on HackerNews :-) Happy to answer any questions. AMA One thing I'd like to mention right away is that docker-slim does…

    There's always a trade off. You are willing to do more low level work "manually" assembling container images your way with apko. You are also willing to accept Alpine randomly expl…

    And the gethostbyname() calls might be in a dependency of another dependency and that's when the real fun begins :)

    You can try using the xray command that will give you clues (docker-slim isn't just minification :-)). The diff capability in the Slim web portal is even more useful (built on top …
