Comment Re:Because Docker sucks (Score 1) 70

by houseofzeus (#59635842) Attached to: Why Did Red Hat Drop Its Support for Docker's Runtime Engine?
There are a few reasons the "IBM made them do this take" seems a bit dumb in this particular case: * Podman, CRI-O and friends were being developed in the open well before the IBM acquisition was announced much less closed. * Similarly, RHEL 8 which is when this change really happened also became generally available several months before the acquisition was announced. * The bulk of IBM advocacy seems to be pushing containerd, not podman https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ibm.com%2Fcloud%2Fblog... It seems like the author somehow missed years of acrimony between the Docker and Red Hat folks going all the way back to ~2014 or ~2015 that led to what we see today.

Submission + - Apple's Recycling Initiatives Recover $40 Million In Gold (macrumors.com)

Submitted by Anonymous Coward
An anonymous reader writes: Apple released its latest annual environmental report yesterday with numbers detailing how much the company has been able to recover from old devices. Business Insider notes that Apple was able to recover over 61 million pounds of steel, aluminum, glass, and other materials from its computers and iPhones. This includes a total of 2,204 pounds of gold worth $40 million at current prices ($1,229.80 per troy ounce of gold). Cult of Mac ran the figures quoted by Apple through today's metal prices, and came up with individual figures for copper ($6.4 million), aluminum ($3.2 million), silver ($1.6 million), nickel ($160,426), zinc ($109,503), and lead ($33,999).

Submission + - Red Hat Launching its own Community Distro of OpenStack (serverwatch.com)

Submitted by darthcamaro
darthcamaro writes: Red Hat still doesn't have a fully supported commercial version of OpenStack in the market yet (coming this summer) as it lags behind Ubuntu and SUSE. But Red Hat is doing something no other distro vendor has done, they are launching a brand new bleeding edge build of OpenStack that will update weekly (or faster). The best part? this isn't a fork it's all upstream work, meaning everyone in the OpenStack Community benefits:

"Our developers will continue to work in the upstream OpenStack, and "whenever we find we need to make changes to make RDO work, we get that work done upstream first," Red Hat CTO Brian Stevens said. "RDO won't change in any way our active involvement in the upstream OpenStack development."

I would not be surprised that there are a lot of programmers today who aren't necessarily people who got a formal education in development but grew into the position.

This isn't actually that different from how a lot of people ended up in COBOL development, which also refuses to die. I did it for a few years straight out of university and had studied Software Eng., but I was definitely in the minority.

Australia's ISPs Speak Out Against Filtering 262

Posted by Soulskill from the is-it-possible-to-import-an-isp dept.
daria42 writes "The leaders of three of Australia's largest internet service providers — Telstra Media's Justin Milne, iiNet's Michael Malone and Internode's Simon Hackett — have, in video interviews with ZDNet.com.au over the past few months, detailed technical, legal and ethical reasons why ISP-level filtering won't work. Critics of the policy also say that users will have no way to know what's being filtered."
