    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 9 Jan 2025
    I just finished porting my projects canonical build process to Docker a few days ago, and had a rude awakening today when MacOS declared Docker malware and deleted its executable. After an hour of trying to figure out why my build was broken, of course.

    The workaround is just reinstallation, looks like they had a certificate issue:

    I use containers on Mac and Windows for development (and we deploy on linux). Docker for Mac is _unusably_ slow in my experience. The VM that it runs is a giant resource hog and a battery hog, and doesn't support ipv6 [0] Docker Desktop itself is (another) resource hog, wildly buggy, and painfully slow. It's the epitome of "shitty electron app".

    On windows, docker desktop has all of the same issues as it does on mac. Docker's concept of volumes and file permissions on windows are nonsense. Windows updates and Docker Desktop regularly decide to disagree, [1] It's networking support interferes with other applications (like OpenVPN and the Xbox Game Center) [2].

  • AER: Error of this Agent is Reported First

    Let me give you an example. [Here's one of the best questions I've ever asked on the internet.]https://github.com/kata-containers/runtime/issues/2795) I've seen many better questions asked, but this is the best I've been able to manage. I provided a decent description of the problem, a test-case that allowed other people to reproduce it as well (not relevant in your case), what I tried that didn't work, and the exact log messages and system information that indicated the problem. I then followed up with the people who were helping me and the problem was resolved.
