Re:Mesos Borgs Google’s Kubernetes Right Back on Friday September 08, 2017 @10:21PM (#15205233)
I'm not one to write negative reviews of open source tech. Typically, everyone has skin in the game for one reason or the other, and diversity in tech is positively great.

But Mesosphere DC/OS is purely advertising and marketing driven.

Their "Docker support" simply means they use normal Mesos worker processes to shell out to the Docker CLI across a cluster. They tightly wrap Hashicorp Vault and label it their own solution. Marathon has terrible support for security and application deployments geared toward enterprise teams. Hell, deployments can write over each other's network volumes and setting IAM roles can be sniffed straight out of unencrypted HTTPS headers. Don't get me started with Minuteman, Mesos DNS, meshing IPTables rules, and the hundreds of hacks around missing IP-per-container/network virtualization that even Solaris has had for the past 20 years (Crossbow anyone?).

The only thing people want right now is AWS in private/hybrid cloud. All the big movers are getting off AWS. If not, they're either too small to matter or are positioning their "cloud partnership" as a buy-out to Ma'Amazon.

You are totally right, my clients do want to pay more for this kind of thing. BTW, your penis is huge.

I know a lot of designers that will love and support this product.

If supporting, contributing and deploying to open source software makes me cheap than so be it. I'm ecstatic at the chance to share that technology with my clients and to help them give it back where applicable.

I hope your endeavors continue to make you happy with your means as they do mine.

If I charged my clients $19.99 a month for something like this they'd laugh at me and hire someone else.

All with a thing called Round Robin Database, a database format built for temporal data and used by every graphing solution known to the IT world.

I'm sure this will make tons of money and will be amazingly useful as a hip tool for those developers we all know. But honestly the rest of us build this kind of stuff into our company dashboards without thinking twice. Where it belongs, in the hands of an internal team who can share the monitoring of more than $20 worth of "snitches".

Dear Mister Obvious,

Every marketing team ever has created hype. Ever.

You really should have put a mailing list on this page. I'm sure a lot of people are interested in keeping updated.
Re:Attempt to hack WordPress with a pull request on Saturday September 01, 2012 @04:08PM (#4464955)
Instead of focusing on the pull request maybe we should think about better vulnerability trajectories. Next time don't make a pull request. Just fork the project, add some dumb feature someone will want or need, then leave your fork out there on Github. Morons will pull it down and use it without ever checking the code.

Re:U.S. banks told to make plans for preventing collapse on Friday August 10, 2012 @11:26AM (#4366539)
Wait a second, the man was complaining about society disconnecting from their overall objective. The only people today that understand anything that is going on are the ones trying to contribute. The rest are turning off, tuning away and dropping out through THEIR subsidized living. How do we continue to maintain that? You are basically saying the status quo is a perfectly fine environment for a society when its not. Not at all.

Yes, we are "privileged to live in a sophisticated, organized, interdependent community". Does the rest of the community know this? No, and they're not demonstrating that at all. Just look over the past 100 years and tell me which generations knew they had it good and strived to continue that effort.

Only dead societies can tell the tales we're starting to.

Key point, "we do not plan to release new features for the Sparrow apps".
