Could that also have been done with Zones? In terms of the developer experience?
Seems to me Docker just thought about the develop-and-deploy pipeline differently.
Yes, technology wise, I think it could have been done; once I left Sun/Oracle I stopped paying attention, so I can't speak to what else was done later.
I highly recommend this talk, talking about Jails and Zones. Jails was first, but Zones took a lot of lessens from it and went further.
Rereading the zones paper now makes me cringe, but I was in my 20s, what can I say. I think the argument we made that holds up is that this was designed to be a technology for server consolidation, and the opening section sets some context about how primitive things were in Sun's enterprise customer base at the time.
I have a lot of admiration for what Docker dared to do-- to really think differently about the problem in a way which changed application deployment for everyone.
Also I can tell you at the time that we were not especially concerned about HP or IBM's solutions in this space; nor did we face those container solutions competitively in any sales situation that I can recall. This tech was fielded in the wake of the dot-com blowout-- and customers had huge estates of servers often at comically low utilization. So this was a good opportunity for Sun to say "We are aligned with your desire to get maximum value out of the hardware you already have."
It's a blast to see this come up from time to time on HN, thanks.

I ended up pulling the DCM fuse, but it comes at the cost of no microphone for phone calls and voice commands and no front speakers (and obviously no STARLINK).
I did the same after having a shop investigate the drain. They didn't put all of the pieces together as the OP did, but they pointed to the fuse and told me I could pull it.
Jason Lango, the original author (who I know personally), came from Brown University. Back in 1998, Brown was an 95%-Solaris shop, and so Solaris-specific APIs like Doors, its flavor of /proc, and its unique two level thread model (later removed by the late great Roger Faulkner) were topics of great interest amongst the systems students.
For at least one semester, the student operating system project was known as DoorsNT.
I think you are heavily making things up. US heavy weapons started arriving like 3 months from when invasion started, US aid is very far from 100B.
I was curious about these competing claims, so I googled for the answer.

"In total, the United States has now committed approximately $16.9 billion in security assistance to Ukraine since January 2021. Since 2014, the United States has committed approximately $19 billion in security assistance to Ukraine more than $16.2 billion since the beginning of Russia’s unprovoked and brutal invasion on February 24."
I'm not sure that all of the money/material has yet reached Ukraine. But that is what is said to be committed.
Craig here from Crunchy. Pretty excited to ship this. It started with one of our engineers showing up in slack 6 weeks ago "So I did something crazy over the weekend..." from there it evolved into much more.
The post explains a lot of the high level, but we're going to being doing some deeper dives as well including the build process, but also some of how the tutorials are powered by an internal notion doc which allows us to easily iterate and collaborate on the tutorials themselves.
Perhaps our favorite easter egg is that you can bring your own SQL into it for example: https://www.crunchydata.com/developers/playground?sql=https:...
@Craig, I wonder if you've thought of making this available (would it work??) for test case construction. Today (working in Go) I start a postgres in a docker container for testing database code. Could I instead use a go wasm runtime, and start postgres inside of it? That would potentially free me from the docker dependency in these tests.

Is the lensing the result of a single large galaxy in the middle that is “closer” or many galaxies?
According to https://www.newscientist.com/article/2328132-james-webb-spac..., "This first image is a region of space called SMACS 0723, which contains what astronomers call a gravitational lens. In areas like this, a massive object relatively close to Earth behaves like a magnifying glass, distorting space and stretching the light of anything behind it." and "The gravitational lens in SMACS 0723 is particularly strong because the nearby object distorting space-time is not one galaxy, but a large cluster of galaxies."

So, what's the best wifi gateway with extra access points for a home that I don't have to screw with and doesn't spy on me or have cloud crap? My ISP sent a Google wifi thing but I'd rather pay a few hundred than use that for 10 bucks a month to rent that thing, and I don't trust Google.
Edit: Thanks for all the answers, from me and anyone else who was looking! I have some good ideas from the below comments and hopefully this thread helps some others as well.
I used to work on a product for secure small-biz Wifi, and so dogfooded my own product in my house. When that was over and I took that out of my house, I had my eyes on Ubiquiti, and it is an impressive ecosystem. But as others have said, it's out of stock all the time, and Ubiqiti are teasing people right now with their next-gen product which is available but also unobtainable.
Eventually I picked the Asus ZenWifi system, and honestly it works great (I have no affiliation with Asus). There's no cloud account to create when you install it. The app is acceptable. There are various security things you can turn on which seem to require cloud assistance, but the core product seems to work very nicely. Any time you try to turn on something which might cause the system to share extra data, a popup appears to explain that to you.
It's so powerful, Wifi-wise, that I bought three nodes and only deployed two. I use it with Ethernet backhaul but it has a dedicated radio for wireless backhaul. It has ethernet LAN ports on each node, and each node is identical to every other node (i.e. there is no "base" and "satellite"). I went from spotty Wifi throughout my 2,000 sq ft house to very strong Wifi throughout. I wrung my hands for a long time because I gave up VLANs and some other things I wanted, and then said the heck with it.
One aspect I like about it is that they have a fragrance-free variant, and even the "fragrance" one is not too bad. A second aspect I like is that it's biodegradable, et cetera. So a bit lighter on the environment, I hope, and the SDS is prominently available on the website.
I think another thing which is under-appreciated is that you need to know how to do the basic cleaning chores for your dishwasher-- for example if it has a filter, learn to clean it! Otherwise its ability to clean will probably be compromised.
