Hmm, is there a reason this is on HN today? Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to learn about interesting individuals, I just feel like I might be missing some context here. Did she win an award or do something particularly noticeable recently?

What is the point of running Chrome in a Docker container? Is it useful only for developers which want to test stuff using a fixed version of the browser, or is it something that everybody surfing the web should really want to do? (I am not a web developer, so this is a sincere question. I am genuinely curious!)
There are lots of potential reasons. Some things I've considered doing it for (many of which have alternative solutions, but nevertheless) Different network configurations per browser. This is useful for doing things like checking geo-targetting via VPNs etc. Better security isolation. Chrome is pretty good at this, but if you want to run a suspicious add-on this is a good way to do it. Better isolation for scriptabl…
Not the best isolation however because containers aren't sandboxes (yet). If you're really serious you need to run something like https://firejail.wordpress.com .

#43I was kind of hoping she won an award or something, she radiates so much positivity and is an awesome hacker.
Re: Jess Frazelle
#44Glad to hear she is working on Kube now instead of Mesos!

Exactly. We need way way way less drama.
We need fewer sources of drama. As long as there are still sources of drama it serves a purpose.
You may wish for fewer sources of drama, but there is always the risk that your wish will not be granted.
One particular problem is that drama has a certain amount of "background radiation" in the world, a noise floor you can't eliminate. The right solution is to have a gate in the sense that you just ignore things underneath the noise floor.
Lowering drama is possible, but elimination is impossible IMO. Hence, you end up in a situation where the perpetually outraged keep being outraged, because there is always some kind of noise floor you can grab onto.
You need to gauge "drama relative to other situations" in order to figure out where we stand. And once you do, you will realize that some people are feeding off of perpetual outrage.
In short, I think we need to define when we activate the gate. And for me personally, the amount of drama in tech is actually not that high. Try Sales&Marketing for a change :) It is just that social media is an excellent amplifier, so now we have far more focus than you had back in the 80'es and 90'es where the situation is likely to have been worse.

It could be because she's been outspoken about the issues surrounding women in tech https://twitter.com/jessfraz . She's dealt with workplace inequality as has been described as going on at Uber https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/19/business/uber-sexual-hara... . That isn't to say her portfolio isn't impressive enough on its own.

#49One thing that tends to be undervalued is sheer positivity and passion. Jess reminds me of Julia Evans, both radiate excitement whenever they talk at conferences, regardless of topic. More joy like this, please.

#50"The greatest contribution need for Docker" I believe less is more. Docker has grown into an all consuming piece of complexity. The best code is code you never write.
In fairness, her answer to "greatest need" was documentation. That can grow too large as well, but right now the consensus seems to be that Docker is struggling with features outrunning accurate documentation - so where things aren't pared back, more records would be good.
