No, actually UID=0 in the container is the same root as the host. By default there is no user mapping.

I have studied the Cold War and SDI ("Star Wars".) Russian and US leaders thought that MAD was idiotic - that defending your country against your adversaries was of the highest importance, not retaliating after your capital was in

> old systems can't cope Actually "old systems" aren't the bottleneck. It's limited gates and radio frequency time. And those will be less of a problem after 1/3 of aircraft turn into pumpkins when they &quo

For those unfamiliar, Sully never flew again after the ditching because of "sleep disturbances." His co-pilot did continue flying airlines. Some pilots were able to successfully do a 180 in a commercial sim and land the plane at t

I have worked at Netflix. The history is that mainly they used well-known CDNs for streaming, followed by their OpenConnect CDN network now. AWS has always been used for metadata. https://openconnect.netflix.com/en/ I&

Actually the pilot anecdote is nonsense. Emergency procedures are part of the procedures you're supposed to be able to execute, typically in a simulator. A stronger anecdote would be asking an airline pilot to fly an aerobatic maneuver

This is a nice article, but note that bash4 has a debugger built-in. Recent linux distros or those upgraded because of CVEs will have it.

What's with the "embedded antennas" references? Microstrips have been used in planes for decades.

Again, this is nonsense since the F-35 will never be flown at low altitudes for CAS since the Air Force won't risk their fighter pilots. Also, aerial refueling can only be done away from the battlefield where the tanker is safe.

> NoSQL products like DynamoDB, Cassandra, Redis, MongoDB As a DBA ... Cassandra is despised. And I would say Postgres is growing a lot faster than MongoDB. Redis caching and zsets power the Internet now. NoSQL, in general, has a much mo

The above comment is remarkably uninformed, though par for the course on HN. Loiter time is extremely important for ground support. Otherwise the enemy just waits for the F-35 to fly over. And reliable means dispatch rate, not losses, espec

First of all, you're an outlier. Most people don't want a box on their head, especially for any length of time. Second of all, I don't know of any GA or airline simulators that use VR. Source: commercial pilot.

What you're describing is irony. Regulatory capture is when a company gains control of their regulator through bribery or promise of jobs. For example, if you look at Wall Street's regulators, the most powerful are former financie

Pilots are generally only paid for actual flight time. At scheduled airlines, dispatchers do most of the pre-flight prep.

You can use almost any TLD for personal projects, though a few have support issues and should be avoided, like .vg. For business use, some domains are poorly managed, like .io, and the registrar can be taken over or easily DoSed. These woul

As a student of WW2, there's no indication that Ike was not serious about what he said in that quote. In fact, he was offered and declined a presidential ticket immed. after WW2 to command NATO in Korea. So he wasn't politically-m
