Would be great if companies would list their preferred timezones, especially for non-US job seekers. Example: UTC-01:00 - UTC+02:00

Docker is the monolith of container runtimes. I think it’s a step backwards to have a monolithic application like Docker controlling your container runtime when you’ve gone through the effort of developing independent (micro)services. Conta

The team at CoreOS came to a similar conclusion: > Docker has demonstrated that it is on a path to include many facilities beyond basic container management, turning it into a complex platform. More than a year ago on their blog, https:

I think Brin is being somewhat of a hypocrite. User data should roam freely between services and shouldn't be locked-in. But asking Facebook and Apple to open-up their core products is like asking Google to publish their search algorithm or
