I’m sure it’s usually just a case of “thinking while typing”, but I find it surprising how often articles about Docker stuff get some basic details a bit wrong. In the very first code example there is a RUN instruction where the author probably meant to have a CMD instruction, and they talk about BuildKit and build cache optimisation even though that was always something to think about, way before BuildKit was a thing.

I’m not trying to say I know everything or that the article is wrong or bad, but it’s an observation I’ve made.


I think this is exactly why people should use Buildpacks over Dockerfiles. I've seen so many Dockerfiles that are wrong, or even introduce security problems.


Might have been an intentional mistake ? It fits the arguments pro build-packs.


The RUN? I thought about that but I don’t see how that would work. Or is the argument that Dockerfiles are just too hard?

(An argument I’m not unsympathetic to)


Yeah, argument is they might be prone to errors.


Hi @ilkkal. Thank you for the note - I've corrected the directive!


Sparrows are history these days, but even more modern weapons can be defeated. It’s a lot about knowing what your weapon’s perf envelope is, and what the other side has to throw at you, and defending appropriately.


"The Fine Comment" and "Article", respectively. Sometimes another adjective is substituted, by angry people.


Thank you :)


I haven't dived all that much, but the initial submersion with empty lungs is super unpleasant every time, the urge to draw air is super strong. After I'm under I'm 100% fine with it and just don't think about the whole thing. I've only dived drysuit, maybe submersion is easier without.


I suspect not. I get the same experience with a wetsuit. And I've seen it happen with dozens of people on their first dives. Once they get down and stay down for a minute or so, they begin to trust that there is in fact air in the regulator, and that it will continue to be there. Until then, they'll fight panic every time.

Different people get over it at different rates. Some never do.


Also the idea that design is something that's just "out there" totally apart from how things are used is just precious.
