Just curious.... couldn’t you get the same level of isolation by using a windows server as the host with HyperV isolation for the guest containers?

I noticed this problem a while ago when I wanted to use DockerHub’s automated image build service. Per the docs https://docs.docker.com/docker-hub/builds/link-source/ you need to grant DockerHub access to your entire GitHub organization!

For me, this was a full stop dealbreaker. A work around was to create a separate GitHub org just to use with the dockerhub build service, but frankly that’s a terrible hack that just masks the larger problem.

Interesting point.... sometimes it’s a benefit, sometimes a deficit.

I’ve had the experience searching google maps for bagels, and it returns donut shops. Yes, they are both bakeries, but I wanted bagels, not donuts. In this case I don’t want google to ‘guess’ what I’m searching for; I gave it a pretty specific search term (bagels) in context (google maps), yet the results were imho too smart for their own good.

This is one of the key use-cases for self-hosted runners. https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/actions/host...

Azure ML Notebooks provide pretty similar functionality.

Shift-control-v on windows pastes unformatted text. Not sure why you need an app.

Actually, it’s not. The archiving standard is PDF/A, which is (as I understand it) much more structured and standardized.

I’m sure that’s what happened; eg I’m sure it was an acqui-hire and Akamai didn’t give a hoot about the krypton software

I had not heard of krypton; read over the website based on your suggestion and got excited, but my excitement turned to disappointment when I saw that neither the iOS nor android apps have been updated in nearly 2 years. Makes me wonder if the project is still active or not, and don’t want to invest effort in trying out a tool that’s effectively abandoned.

Take a look at Visual Studio Codespaces: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/services/visual-studio-co... Despite the name, it's hosted VSCode, not Visual Studio.

with one more click, they could have turned this into a 'real' website using github pages.

Or, just parallelize the entire build. eg, if you have four build servers, you could kick off a build every hour. Easy using VM's, trivial in the cloud.

Azure App service lets you do this. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/container...

I'm a happy user of Moneydance: http://moneydance.com/ Offline (but can download from banks or import files) and cross platform

+1. I’ve often wondered how these cashback services like the ones you mentioned, or, for example, the restaurant ones like aadvantage dining work. Do the affiliates get all your transactions? (I really hope not). Or, do the affiliates have agreements with the cc processors to flag transactions on their side?

It seems like the simple answer to this is to tip out-of-band directly to the person (e.g, cash, venmo, etc).

I suspect it's the "thin hypervisor", aka LCOW + hyperv isolation. https://devblogs.microsoft.com/premier-developer/running-doc...

(I work at Microsoft but have no inside knowledge on this; just speculating.)

There needs to be a distinction at the api & permissions level between course and fine geolocation. My weather app doesn't need to know my exact address... location within a half mile or mile would be fine. Similarly with "gas station locator app". But my GPS navigation app DOES need fine location.

If you could control this permission at the app level, many of the privacy issues brought out in the article would be mitigated.

I read somewhere (looking for the link now) that back when the highway system was being planned, it was felt that i95 had to go through all the major cities down the eastern seaboard, and it would be an "insult" to Philadelphia to give its highway another designation.

Yes, it would have been be logical to simply redesignate the NJ Turnpike as i95 for its duration, and relabel the highway that goes through Philly with another number, but instead we got the craziness that exists till today.

Re: "You still have to host the images somewhere—they're not embedded in the document (which is what I meant by "inline")"

I still don't follow you; why is this an issue with markdown? Why do you see this as different than any other markup language (e.g, HTML)? Unless we're talking about something like Word documents, you'll have to host the image somewhere, which could be in your github repo. I still don't see why this is an issue.

Not sure I follow you saying it's not easy to inline images. See: https://github.com/adam-p/markdown-here/wiki/Markdown-Cheats...

Read the announcement: https://blog.cloudflare.com/announcing-1111/ "APNIC's research group held the IP addresses 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1. While the addresses were valid, so many people had entered them into various random systems that they were continuously overwhelmed by a flood of garbage traffic. APNIC wanted to study this garbage traffic but any time they'd tried to announce the IPs, the flood would overwhelm any conventional network.

We talked to the APNIC team about how we wanted to create a privacy-first, extremely fast DNS system. They thought it was a laudable goal. We offered Cloudflare's network to receive and study the garbage traffic in exchange for being able to offer a DNS resolver on the memorable IPs. And, with that, 1.1.1.1 was born."

Duplicati is backup software only; you bring-your-own-(local or cloud)-storage.

Actually, Azure takes a very strong platform agnostic approach. Over a third of all VMs on Azure are running Linux https://fossbytes.com/33-microsoft-azure-vms-now-run-linux-o..., (supported distributions include Ubuntu, Redhat, Centos, SUSE, Debian, and CoreOS), the Azure Container Service supports 3 open-source orchestrators (Swarm, Kubernetes, DC/OS), and the Azure WebApp PaaS service has Linux support in preview.

Disclosure: I work at Microsoft; opinions are mine.

Not docker, but you can run IE VMs under vmware/virtualbox/hyperv by going to http://modern.ie and downloading time-limited IE images

I agree; complexity costs money. But I guess I'm wondering if there is still a lot of profit margin built into the cost of the apple charger that could be shaved by a decent third-party such as Monoprice.

Take lightning cables: I can buy the Apple lightning cable for $25, or I can buy a perfectly good Monoprice, MFi-certified lightning cable for $7, or I can buy a no name, non-certified cable (that will likely have issues) for a buck or two on ebay.

This article illustrates a great point, but it makes me wonder why there isn't a middle ground between an overpriced apple charger, and the cheap (and unsafe) knockoffs. Eg, why can't I purchase a MFi certified charger at 1/2 or 2/3 the price of an official charger that I know will be safe?

My technique: When I'm in an unfamiliar city, I search for restaurants and then looks for clusters. When you see a cluster of restaurants, this tends to be a downtown and is usually somewhere 'interesting'.

My main (remaining) issue with Apple Maps today is it does not give lane information for upcoming maneuvers. Google Maps does this and I find it invaluable.
