8,800 stars!

Why do people care about github stars?

Because people have hobbies and wish other people are enjoying them. Or it does help people tell if code is helpful if more people are using it. Or its some guy with 8,800 throw away android phones.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Why do you need an emoji for the letter ‘B’?

That emoji exists because of the blood type. 🅰🅱🆎🅾 There was a meme a while back where people would use 🅱 all over the place. Not sure why it was funny but it was.

If you have to explain it, it's not funny. Particularly when the knowyourmeme page seems to indicate it's most prominently used by racists.

Why do people care about github stars?

The same reason why people care about likes on Facebook or karma on HN.

Internet points mean very little, until you get enough that you start floating to the top of popularity rankings, at which point they suddenly become indirectly monetizable.

Woah! Don't know if it can be used as a proper Docker replacement (probably not), but I sure do appreciate the project as an example of how to use all the tools to implement an isolated environment. And the fact that it actually works with Docker containers (well, why wouldn' it, but still) is just a cheery on top!

> Don't know if it can be used as a proper Docker replacement The readme says "I can make no guarantees that it won't trash your system", so yeah clearly not intended for real use.

Most software says that in the license too (even commercial software!) so it’s nice to see it front and center for once.

Liz Rice's presentation on re-creating Docker in Go is also quite eye-opening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Utf-A4rODH8

Yes agreed, as someone who had basically no understanding of what docker does, this was very helpful (I'm pretty sure I saw it because docker used it as an introduction to itself on their site)
