C levels can't survive a day in the trenches.

CEO goes to submit timesheet.

Corporate issued hardware explodes in face.

IT support hotline: Remember to turn the timer off and on again.

Middle manager: I need the task done yesterday. Yes, I know it's a holiday. Yes, I know the assignment breaks two DNS specs and several hundred federal and state regulations. Just get it done. No, you're not allowed to use utensils during working lunches, that's against company policy.

Exactly the wrong sorts of people will take this to mean we should remove access to important resources for anyone struggling.

The last paragraph seems to present a reasonable suggestion. But Hansson forgets that struggle occurs on a spectrum. There is no single, visible, hard line between normies and certifiables.

He should probably read a book or five about neurodiversity.

See so mamy products like this.

If the product genuinely worked, it would make a natural candidate to upstream into the operating system. Better to wait for the feature to arrive there. Than to risk scams and bugs meanwhile.

`crit` loops over `cross` target triples for Rust projects, generating binaries for dozens of platforms. Now your users can enjoy more ways to install your apps.

See also `factorio`, for Go projects.

Imagine if everyone actually did this. Then we would have a myriad of base images hiding even more malware than we do currently.

Not to mention vertically integrating the entire Docker layer set defeats the whole point of using Docker in the first place.

That's a fair point, and when someone with a working brain mentions the fallout throughout the Internet that would result, I expect Docker Inc. will reverse course and embark on a PR campaign pretending it was all a mere tawdry joke.

I am confused by the meaning of Docker's announcement. They keep saying "organizations" will have Docker images deleted. Does that include personal FOSS images or not? Because the vast majority of Docker Hub images are uploaded by individual contributors, not "organizations."

Too bad about their poor relationship with the FOSS community. I've applied to them for years, and actually merged some minor patches to Docker to help resolve a go dependency fiasco. Zero offers.

I guess the next logical move is to republish any and all non-enterprise Docker images to a more flexible host like the GitHub registry.

You can go beyond Kubernetes into serverless, but other than those two, your tech department would be deviating from industry standards and paddling upstream by hand.

We need to go back to the days when satellites just blinked and everybody panicked about the end of civilization, when men were men and Bugs Bunny was a transvestite and you could smoke over the operating table.
