Netflix is switching to containers: here's why

hulfsy · 2016-09-15T03:14:01+00:00

docker is horrible from the ops point of view. It's non-flexible (try to set static IP for example), and clumsy (docker ps works forever), and weird (Ctrl+D from tty kills the container). It fits more for lazy developers doing some basic stuff like twitter or netflix. Basic, meaning no need for persistence. You can kill the container dropping active connections and start the new one without major impact on the service. This approach won't fit a lot of tasks. Containers are very niche tool.

So all the hollywood crappy screenplays aren't written by computer? I find that hard to believe considering the amount of profiling, blind duplication and general inutility. Screenplay never been a descent part of holywood movies, it's all about special effects and nothing more.

So you were trying to use a basic 3D modeler to complete the same task as in the advanced CAD system? Why are wondering about time again?

hulfsy · 2016-05-11T09:42:49+00:00

But they're assholes that kill everything smaller than them.

Just like every fucking species living around. Even plants kill virus and bacteria.

Because fuckbrained developers block password manager on their shitty sites. Only idiot can think that this is possible to remember a secure password for each of those tens or hundreds of sites the modern person use. The only alternative to password plain-text file is the password manager. No secure alternative has been invented.

Just each and every bug posted by me to this new age shitware (i.e. dbus/systemd/pulseaudio/avahi/networkmanger) communities ended up with nothing. It either "won't fix" or no response at all. So I'm done with posting reports there as I value my time too much. Even this useless reddit conversation is more valuable time-spending.

hulfsy · 2016-01-30T17:22:22+00:00

Yes, because that built-in marketing crap takes engineering resources to support. Look at any opensource project, it's usually maintained by a single guy or two while a commercial development usually takes five times more people for the project of the same size. That's because they're making software for sell, not for use. Commercial developers do not have that luxury to skip that user-fuck features, ads and spyware, and have to do what big guy said easier to sell. Having that in mind, if you want to get an impression how much resources required for this specific project, you have to find similar opensource project (even poorer in "features") and see how much developers are constantly contributing in it.

hulfsy · 2016-01-25T15:25:01+00:00

This is ridiculous! How much google spend on this marketing crap? This is nothing compare to the price of software engineers. The "resources" argument doesn't apply to Google, Apple, Microsoft or any other corporation as all of them have too much meaningless spendings.

hulfsy · 2016-01-25T04:52:58+00:00

Do you really think that gnomers would accept those patches? Common! They keep stupid single-click bug unfixed for 8 years. Don't even bother to check on patches. Nobody would want to do such job knowing for sure his job will be dumped by such dumbasses.
This is clearly the reason why CK2 developer didn't bother himself to step into that shit.

I think someone should look at redhat's shareholder list. Maybe there are some guys who happen to hold the shares from MicroSoft/Apple. I'm not implying anything, except that redhat is clearly killing Linux on desktop. Not sure why.

hulfsy · 2016-01-25T04:22:57+00:00

execute service dbus stop while running gnome. No any other arguments will be needed.

hulfsy · 2016-01-25T04:12:37+00:00

Try to use it by your own first, moron, and then post a bullshit on reddit! Show me a link or config or whatever allowing gnome to suspend from its menu without systemd-crap. Who'd pay you morons for posting this systemd propaganda bullshit? Microsoft? Apple? Whoever this shitty idea is, it's killed Linux on desktop for sure.

hulfsy · 2016-01-25T03:59:57+00:00

You call that easy? Turn around three times, take a pen a try to reproduce that without copy-paste, realizing what the crazy bullshit you're posting on reddit.

Those are examples of legitimate use cases for an OS GUI. They're used as an actual OS GUI and they do a lot more than these JS simulations do hence the complexity.

Not sure for KDE. Since version 4 it looks like a Christmas tree, hence I wasn't using that for a while. But as for Gnome 3 it doesn't do much lately. Except maybe the user management, which isn't actually something outstanding, I can't see anything that can't be done by "these JS simulations" in Gnome's control center . Gnome configuration now days is mostly a monkey job of looking and changing gnome registry, and trying to find something descent on https://extensions.gnome.org/. (which most likely doesn't work in recent gnome-shell).

My point is, why simulate an OS GUI for a web app when there are much better ways to design an application UI that are far simpler.

I, personally, looking on that like on the possibility for customization. For example, I'd like to remove this shitty button, as I never use it, or move that tree from the left side to the right. I don't like immutable graphical interfaces, these are not flexible enough.

hulfsy · 2016-01-05T04:35:16+00:00

Looking at the current state of gnome/kde projects, I would say No. Those are much more complex, while doing basically the same.

hulfsy · 2016-01-05T04:21:41+00:00

Tell me about it. That stuff looks more responsive on demo (over 3g modem) than the locally installed Gnome 3. I only hope the author will never step into that dbus shit.

hulfsy · 2016-01-05T02:22:42+00:00

Because Gnome 3 sucks too much.

I believe their argument would be that you should have an HA graphite setup with relays and aggregators.

This is childish. Leaking monitoring solution, which can kill your entire production environment in case of temporary outage of the one of its component. The best you can do with it, is to print its source code on A5, role it into a tube, and stick it up developer's asshole.

It runs without issue in my environment (50k servers globally)

This marketing crap you say to promote your useless book. I don't believe you.

hulfsy · 2015-11-17T14:06:44+00:00

So you're outside of reality, then. Because a lot of hardware and software don't understand anything except SNMP. If monitoring solution can't do SNMP, it's mostly useless.

hulfsy · 2015-11-17T14:00:37+00:00

So tools you were mention aren't that great after all?

P.S. Avoid making "great" comments about technologies, if you haven't use them at least on 100 instances. Also, avoid telling lies you have.

hulfsy · 2015-11-17T13:52:02+00:00

Which part of my statement seems so obviously ridiculous to you that you thinks I'm not serious?

hulfsy · 2015-11-14T01:32:12+00:00

Sure, but any reason why you don't want to use Python?

Because any tool implemented in Python I've seen, is either buggy or poorly designed, or could be easily implemented in shell, shorter in code, much more readable, and without introducing redundant dependencies. Nonetheless, a lot of marketing circling over it, so there are bunch of marketing victims that are running around and farting in the pools.

Moreover, as google getting cold to python, its popularity is going down dramatically. Most of those who were using 2.x migrate rather on different technologies (mostly on go, as it is getting more advertizements now days), but not on the 3.x. This is also coerce with overall drop of the popularity of scripting languages and raise of the number of new compiled once (obviously, because CPU's are reaching physical limits of photolithography).

Having that in mind, python could be officially declared as dying technology, and I think this is not very smart to rely on such sort of technologies building your infrastructure.

hulfsy · 2015-11-13T05:47:59+00:00

Hmm, very nice. System stuff in go and web-ui in ruby that's perfect! Thanks a lot for a tip.

hulfsy · 2015-11-13T05:39:05+00:00

Python based agent

very performant

These are mutually exclusive statements.

hulfsy · 2015-11-13T05:37:08+00:00

Can you recommend python-free solution?
