PhysicalNomad | 3 years ago | on: Negativity drives online news consumption

I stopped reading news a year ago for this reason, having left social networks for much longer. Of course I still have some exposure through HN, but overall I'm happier and don't miss them one bit.

PhysicalNomad | 3 years ago | on: Ok, it’s time to freak out about AI

All these apocalyptic articles will be a good laugh in a few years when the tech settles. It's a sentence completion engine. Incredibly useful, with massive potential, and maybe the best tool we've created since the computer. But still just a sentence completion engine.

PhysicalNomad | 3 years ago | on: We apologize. We did a terrible job announcing the end of Docker Free Teams

I stopped using Docker entirely after the Moby mess, when Podman came around without needing a daemon, and better runtimes became available for Kubernetes. It's been the inferior product for a long time, only kept alive by the dev mindshare they gained early on.

For real, any of these threads is guaranteed to have a ton of nitpicks and comparisons with products that are way more mature. It's pretty sad to see specially in a so-called hacker community. Congrats on the launch!

I don't bother with venvs anymore and just use podman instead.
