For some, an autonomous machine is a saviour, promising liberation from drudgery while transcending our foibles and frailties. For others, it is a monster, threatening the termination of humanity. In our imaginations, robots and AI form a question for our future: […] The post Artist Showcase: Cur Deus Machina first appeared on The Digital Constitutionalist.| The Digital Constitutionalist

Kubernetes manages containers by abstracting them away using its own concept of “the pod.” A pod... Read More Re...| Containerized Adventures

I published my container cookie analogy on this blog for the first time in 2019 as “Explain Like I’m 5: Containers vs VMs.” At the time, I created the analogy to help bring sales professionals up to speed on container technology quickly and in a way that helped them understand why their customers were talking about it.
