1. systemd runs as root, doesn't bother me that docker daemon does as well, since they do similar things (for me). Only users with access to the socket file have access.

2. I like the idea of not having a daemon but never actually had a problem with this in practice. The daemon has never crashed on me. systemd also has daemons that have also never crashed on me.

3. It's like 3 lines to install the official docker package. This is a non-issue for me.

Those do not sound like very meaningful advantages. Certainly not significant enough for me to want to switch from something that Just Works.

Thanks for the reply though. I'll be sticking with Docker.

How are they "much better"? Docker works extremely well. I build and run Docker containers all over the place and they Just Work.

It's really up to us citizens that benefited from his whistleblowing to bail him out. But of course we don't because we're not as good a society as we might be.

Almost everyone who has worked really hard to be great at something has an ego about it. In most cases, they really wanted to be better than (often some specific) others.

To pick some well know people, I'd say Feynman and Einstein both had massive egos. They "knew" they were smart. They also had reputations for being really nice and humble.

It would be simpler to just admit that you think DJB is a bit of a jerk. Linus Torvalds is a bit of a jerk too, in most people's estimation. Brilliant jerks, we call them.

They can make great workers and are always terrible leaders.

When is OpenAI planning to actually solve a hard problem? They have spent a huge amount of money and time creating useless demos so far.

Creating flashy AI demos relatively easy. Creating important AI products that actually operate in the real world is the difficulty.

Joe Rogan is surprisingly greedy. The man has been rich for decades, doesn't need money at all, and yet he's been selling crappy snakeoil products for years, and now he's selling out wholesale. He's taking a boatload of money to kill his show. Maybe he's just tired and this seems like a smart way to end it...

Sadly he just doesn't seem to be up to the challenge of seizing his role in history anyway. He could be someone that bridges the left/right political divide. He's the closest we have right now, but just not up to it.

There is a deep desire in the US for someone almost like Joe Rogan. Just like there is a deep desire for someone almost like Bernie Sanders. Or even someone almost like Donald Trump.

I consider these people the first wave of Great Internet Personalities. And just like the first pancake, they're not quite right.

We're living in a Bizzaro World for now. I'm eagerly looking forward to the second wave of Great Internet Personalities.

John Carmack streaming his programming sessions would make me happier than almost anything else programming related.

Rift S is connected to a far more powerful gaming PC. It seems like Oculus simply treats the Rift S and their customers as a second-class.

Yeah, not sure why you would equate those two.

Providing a former spouse with alimony money is not generosity. Neither is providing a former employee with severance money generosity. In both cases, the ethics are incredibly obvious.

The fact that alimony is required and severance is not is simply a matter of a corrupt (US) political system. This system leaves it to individual CEOs to act ethically (or not) and the public to judge them.

We can improve the ethics of tech companies by holding them to account for how they behave. One way to do that is judging their behavior during layoffs.

What severance is being offered to the employees being laid off? Is it up to the high ethical standard set by Airbnb?

Separated [Airbnb] employees will receive 14 weeks of pay, and one more week for each year served at the company (rounding partial years up). The firm is also dropping its one-year equity cliff so that employees who are laid off with under 12 months of tenure can buy their vested options; Airbnb will also provide 12 months of health insurance through COBRA in the United States, and health care coverage through 2020 in the rest of the world.
