Plenty of us who prefer working from home have a very rich social life. It's just not centered around being in the same building together with the people you happen to work with.

OP here. I didn't want to end the article in a preachy note, but an implicit point is that I'm doing quite well "despite" my policy of being honest. Monetary rewards are a poor sub…

> especially in SV / startup circles Lol, I'm increasingly wary of whatever SV / startup circles prefer nowadays... The shitload of BS is ever forthcoming.

Hahaha it could well be that people are merely hoarding newsletter emails. I hope readers derive _some_ value from the emails, but since I'm not doing it to drive up "engagement me…

My blog used to be RSS only, because I thought email subscriptions were a plot of "content creators" and not something readers actually wanted... until one of my readers told me he…

Thanks a lot for the effort you've been putting into your comments! It's not often you come across someone on the internet who wants to have a honest conversation and at the same t…

> I’m not even Christian, and it’s plain to me that there’s massive variation even within one denomination’s congregants, let alone a Baptist vs a Lutheran That's a fair point I ag…

I liked the talk and was about to post a link to it in the $dayjob slack, but this threw me off as well. Still watched it to the end, and I still recommended it to a friend (along …

Here's some additional context on the phrase, for today's lucky ten thousand[0]: https://blog.codinghorror.com/falling-into-the-pit-of-succes... [0]: https://xkcd.com/1053/

Rust is so powerful it rewrites your code to assembly on-demand every time you compile ;)

What a mess... It's sad that the community has to suffer the consequences of a company holding the trademark hostage.

The win in operating costs is impressive, bordering in the unbelievable (27x). Does anyone have a clue about where the win comes from?

Fun fact: some older articles were originally written using the term man-in-the-middle, but at some point were updated... except that the diagrams still use man-in-the-middle becau…

Controlling both the builder and the registry is super nice btw, because they can work together. If the builder knows some of the layers already exist in the registry, it merely ha…

I can't comment on BuildKit, unfortunately, since I haven't used it. My experience comes from building bespoke systems (an image builder and a custom registry) fully from scratch, …

I'd say the limitations are relative to your use case: `docker build` works well enough in most cases, but sometimes it's not the right tool for the job (e.g., you cannot use `dock…

The idea is that, in many cases, you can create a layer "by hand" without running actual Linux programs. Layers don't need to be pre-existing, the only requirement is that they can…

I sometimes wonder why there aren't more bespoke container tools (like yours). Would people be willing to pay for stuff like what you have built, if someone took the time to "produ…

There are many ways to achieve this. If you are just copying artifacts, and not using RUN, then there is in principle no need to download the base image at all. Feel free to messag…
