> they do create supply and maintain housing.

Clearly you have never interacted with most land lords


I guess not most, all of mine were fine, mostly individuals with one or two investment properties who were friendly neighbors I happened to pay rent to.

Point is, in choosing to be a landlord and buying property, an ideal world would respond to this demand pressure by building housing, didn't mean to suggest the landlords themselves put on their hard hats and frame a new building. Just that they're also part of the marketplace.


Back when I was a renter mine just created slums and maintained misery, but maybe he was special.

I've had slumlord landlords, landlords who maintained and kept up the property and focused on retaining tenants over increasing rents, and corporate landlords with prices set by a computer. Landlords are a spectrum.

Most Venezuelans will make a very loud point to disagree with you.

Can we please report vapid personal attacks like this comment? This is a reddit-esque answer.

You're right, I'm very frustrated with my government right now and I was a jerk to the guy. I'm an adult and I should behave like one.

Thanks for calling out my bullshit, sincerely.


> Unfortunately containers have always had an absolutely horrendous security story and they degrade performance by quite a lot.

This is demonstratably untrue.


Let's see last month (November 2025) we had CVE-2025-31133, CVE-2025-52565, and CVE-2025-52881 alone. Container breakouts happen almost monthly.

I think they were talking more about the degraded performance.

In terms of the security aspects though, how does security holes in a layer that restricts things more than without it degrade security? Seems like saying that CVEs on browser's javascript sandboxing degrade the browser security more than just not having sandboxes.


Duplicating a networking and storage layer on top of existing storage/networking layers that containers, and the orchestrators such as k8s provide, absolutely degrade performance - full stop. No one runs containers raw (w/out an underlying vm) in the cloud - they always exist on top of vms.

The problem with "container" security is that even in this thread many people seem to think that it is a security barrier of some kind when it was never designed to be one. The v8 sandbox was specifically created to deal with sandboxing. It still has issues but at least it was thought about and a lot of engineering went into it. Container runtimes are not exported via the kernel. Unshare is not named 'create_container'. A lot of the container issues we see are runtime issues. There are over a half-dozen different namespaces that are used in different manners that expose hard to understand gotchas. The various container runtimes decide themselves how to deal with these and they have to deal with all the issues in their code when using them. A very common bug that these runtimes get hit by are TOCTOU (time of check to time of use) vulns that get exposed in these runtimes.

Right now there is a conversation about the upcoming change to systemd that runs sshd on vsock by default (you literally have to disable it via kernel cli flag - systemd.ssh_auto=no) - guess what one of the concerns is? Vsock isn't bound to a network namespace. This is not itself a vulnerability but it most definitely is going to get taken advantage in the future.


A container breakout is a valid CVE, but it also is an escape into an environment that is as secure as any unix environment was before we even had containers to begin with.

All specific to runc.

> This results in them moving up a layer, in this case creating a network of inter-dependent containers that you now have to put together for the whole thing to start... and we're back to square one, with way more bloat in between.

Yea, with uneeded bload like rule based access controls, ACS and secret management. Some comments on this site.


Ir you download the Deutsche Bahn App, chances are about 50% that it will tell you if your platform changes. Better than nothing.

That fucking Sbahn is the bane of the existence of many tourists. It happens so much that there‘s now a bus line from those cow fields to an airport. You will be late.

> but for kicks & giggles, I dropped in a bid around $2,200 ’cause I was confident I’d be outbid

Boy do I wish I could just drop 2k on a whim for a vanity project


Not to minimize the amount (2k is a lot), or obligations you may have (family, etc), but sometimes you can change your life in small ways to make those sort of impulse buys more affordable. Renting a room instead of a house, buying an old used car instead of new, etc. These kinds of changes are (to me) a small inconvenience, with big rewards


A lot of people pay a lot more than that for vanity vehicles, kitchens etc


> It is funny how we keep asking more and more and more even though we already have it so much better than before.

I've been developing web stuff for 15 years now and sometimes I can't believe comments like these. We didn't have it "so much better before". CSS sucked hard and getting things right for three devices was an incredible pain in the ass.

Tables have semantic meaning. They don't support fractional units. Reflowing for mobile is impossible and you need JS hacks like splitting tables. You can't reorder natively.


I have been developing web stuff for 20 years now and I also can’t believe comments like these.

Flex and grid enable layouts that are far beyond anything we could do with table layouts. Anyone who claims otherwise has obviously not done any amount of serious, production FE UI design and development.

Are there bits of DX ergonomics I’d like in flex and grid? Of course. Does the syntax sometimes feel a bit arcane? Yeah. But the raw power is there, and anyone who claims the contrary is either a gormless backend developer, or some troll who is trying to design things in MS Word.


Tbf it said “we have it so much better Than before” I think they agree with you


I saw a similar comment on HN recently that CSS was "better" back in the day and what we have today is either unnecessary or too hard.

I reminded that person we had to use floats and positioning hacks and abuse HTML tables for page layout before flexbox and CSS Grid were created.

There was no way simple method to center a div!


> we already have it so much better than before

They meant now. "we have it so much better than how it used to be."


Token stealing hasn't been a real danger for a decade now. If you don't mark your token's as non-HTTP you're doing something explicitely wrong, because 99% of backends nowadays do this for you.


with http-only they can't _steal_ the cookie, but they can still _use_ the cookie. It reduces the impact but doesn't fully solve it.
