I looked into switching to zstd recently however at least crane the utility that rules_oci uses to upload containers does not yet support uploading zstd layers.

A big issue with botnets running on device owner equipment is the amount of bandwidth they "steal" from the device owner. Especially for device owners who are on constrained networks (such as a mobile/satellite network) this can be a really expensive issue for the device owner.

So while the device owner may not be the primary victim, they can definitely still be heavily affected.

Very large c++/python/cuda application that is packed into various different images (squashfs images, but functionally the same).

We end up having a lot of libraries that are shared across multiple images.

It’s frustrating to not see more system package management (deb, rpm) from these new services (github and gitlab for instance).

Are others not packaging their code in intermediate packages before packing them into containers?

Data scientists at my previous company switched to https://github.com/has2k1/plotnine when we made a big push to python. Bit closer api to ggplot than Altair.
Re:New AMD EPYC-based Compute Engine family, now in beta on Tuesday February 18, 2020 @08:43PM (#22362369)
Its really great to see more AMD options for cloud instances. Now I'm just waiting for more ARM architecture options. Not having to cross compile code (a1/m6g AWS instance types) has been very useful in my day to day job.
Re:Vim.wasm on Thursday April 25, 2019 @03:26AM (#19745803)
I wonder if this will be useful for electron based editors like vscode's vim plugin. I know the plugin is "good" but I always find something that works in vim and doesn't in the plugin and end up going back to my terminal.
The office 365 support could be implemented using the jupyter kernel protocols rather than transpiling to javascript. That would give them a consistent behavior across desktop and web and even open the door to support more languages in the future if they really wanted to.
I can't thumbs up this enough. Packages that start services when they are installed can cause so many issues between not giving the user the chance to fully configure them, to weird interactions with distributed applications talking to each other before all the configuration is ready.

This is definitely one of the defaults that I think RPM gets right over debian packages.
