Are you suggesting Yellow journalism is some new phenomena? It seems quite a stretch to associate this article for some cheap readership trick.

With Brexit, it seems this protest is largely meaningless.

A more in-depth explanation of journaling vs soft-updates:

That's called NA.

This link is more about the meaning of the quote rather than its attribution:

That saying has always grated on me as fundamentally wrong, and that link provides some insight into it.

Maybe because this has nothing to do with availability zones and it's specifically to do with AWS mis/under-reporting status.

What AZ were they supposed to failover to? Another one reporting green?

pv is available on at least FreeBSD as a package like it is in Linux. I'd be quite shocked if the other BSD's didn't have a port of it as well. There is also mbuffer.

SIGINFO works on gnu dd last I tried it.

> you and I don't to be direct customers of Intel.

Speak for yourself, thank you very much.

> To argue for the OP, consider the case of passwd being parsed on every system call. That is simply sub-optimal.

passwd is not read every system call and anything that is read frequently is almost certainly in the fs cache.

I got about 3 assertions into the article before I decided I had enough of that bullshit.

It's turtles all the way down.

> That's only true for GNU-based userlands, not BSD-based ones.

"rm -P" with the same caveats as the GNU implementation.

Having seen old complex apps written in basic, I would say use of BASIC considered harmful. You can't help but create spaghetti code.

> Most citizens are completely unaware of the multitude of rights possessed by the people and assume that the government has to tell them what rights they have. That way is serfdom.

I know this is frowned upon, but +1 anyways.

> Then again, with one semester of government class in 12 years of compulsory state-controlled education -- and that taught by a coach half the time -- it's no wonder that we allow the state and its officers to walk all over us.

Yeah well my government teacher threw a book at me, literally. Question authority at your own peril.

My main problem with your statement is that if a student is "susceptible" to state-controlled education, they are also susceptible to really any ideology. It is the people who think differently who are most likely to be persecuted, and also need protection from it the most.

"Idealist" is one of those non-descriptive and popular terms like "Agnostic". They describe everyone.

Ha, still not as bad as their "benchmarks" though.

Yeah, I'm sure they hadn't thought of that.

Credibility does have a place, it's just frequently too high a place by the credulous.

Um, not really. On BSD, you're using jails and startup is virtually instantaneous unless you want to define start orders and staggering.

Remember, you can only say nice things on HN. Blind agreement is ok, blind disagreement isn't.

> Dalai Lama is not the head of Buddhism but the head of Tibet

Which seeks to be combined theological and political state in the vein of Russian czars, Japanese emperors, North Korea, and countless other ruling parties. You can even argue Great Britain still abides by this.

> we would not confound Iranian political independence with Shia Islam

Why would we not? They are 2 sides of the same coin. Religion is quite often the basis of political power such as in Iran.

He meant the really important ones like twitter and facebook and the other oft over-praised SV "tech".

More like "I am not aware that I troll therefore I am not."

> He was very active on HN on Feb/2015!

Hence the inspiration.

> Attackers can escape or even steal data from another running VM.

Then there is a bug and you fix it just like any other security layer.

You need to do your research again on docker and lxd. They aren't the same thing at all.

> That's what I've been saying.

No, you've been saying Docker is so much better than jails. Either you don't know jails or docker or both, I can't tell. Just you really want Docker to be awesome.

If the point you're trying to make is linux users love reinventing the wheel and making it more complicated and prone to failure, there really is no need. I believe you.

lxd has absolutely no relevance to this discussion. They are not jails, they are not like jails. As noted in my OP in this thread, jails are not a replacement for hypervisors.

> Docker is not the same thing as FreeBSD jails.

No it is not. Like Norton Anti-Virus, it has a much bigger user base. Other than that...

> Docker is available on FreeBSD (as of June this year) and uses jails.

Huh? I wonder why?

^sarcasm.

> A hypervisor is not a security layer

Of course it is.
