The quality of comments on are are further proof of how far downhill /. has fallen. It's just depressing.

Seriously.

Comment Docker description (Score 2) 88

From the Docker site:

Docker is an open platform for developers and sysadmins to build, ship, and run distributed applications. Consisting of Docker Engine, a portable, lightweight runtime and packaging tool, and Docker Hub, a cloud service for sharing applications and automating workflows, Docker enables apps to be quickly assembled from components and eliminates the friction between development, QA, and production environments. As a result, IT can ship faster and run the same app, unchanged, on laptops, data center VMs, and any cloud.

I think of it as something like a version controlled Make or Grunt script with the output being a jail. Setting up your cloud stack as a series of Docker containers makes it much easier to create, upgrade, scale and relocate your services such as web servers, databases, caches, app servers etc.

I think that's the problem we're seeing in this thread - there are people who see the value in creating a new market by integrating and iterating on existing technologies, and those who don't. Some see the iPod, iPhone, iPad, OR etc. as game changers and others merely as inevitable integrations.

Rather than labels I prefer to focus on the outcome. The iPhone DID drastically change the industry, for example, and even though bits of VR tech have been around for decades, I'm pretty sure OR will do the same.
