Ye, I see that pretty often with people reposting news. It might just be worthwhile to do
Yep, and for cars most of the noise comes from the tires. A muffler won't help that
Literally the most efficient transport option out there :p
If only there was some sort of governing organization that's supposed to protect us from unfair labour practices and exploitation
Just going by this article I can't quite tell whether either party has good intentions. Except for that the writer here does not
Roll you own "platinum standard" and see if he buys it :p
Oh cool new battery tech! What's up with the nearly irrelevant title?
I might just start bundling my apps inside an environment setup with nix inside docker. A lot of them are similar to identical, So those docker images actually share a lot of layers under the hood.
My apps after compiling and packaging are usually around 50mb. That's 48mb of debian, which is entirely shared between all the images that I build. So the eventual size of my deployed applications isn't nearly as big as they seem from the size of the tarball being sent around. So for 10 apps, that's not 500mb, that's 68mb.
If anything, the docker hub and registry are a bit of a mess.
you can trust the nix repositories aren't going to change
That, I do not. And storing the source and such for every dependency would be bigger than, and result in essentially the same thing as an image.
I think you're trying to achieve something different than what docker is for. Docker is like installing onto an empty computer then shipping the entire machine to the end user. You pretty much guarantee thing will work. (yes this is oversimplified)
The issue is, nix builds are only guaranteed to be reproducible if the dependencies don't change. Which they shouldn't, but you can't trust the internet to be consistent. Things won't be there to be fetched forever.
Images do. And you can turn one into a container in seconds. I suppose it's a matter of preference. I like one a package to be independent
She names Trump's points explicitly, but doesn't go beyond "the best practices of this and that institution".
I can't say they're wrong, I expect a scientific institution to have some integrity to say the least. But either she's too lazy to look them up, or she's not quoting any for a different reason
