cerisier··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (June 2025)
A C/C++ cross compilation toolchain for Bazel based on LLVM that compiles all target dependencies (CRT, libc, C++ stdlib, unwind libraries etc...) from source.

This means that it can cross-compile C and C++ programs that use the libc (glibc or musl) as well as the C++ stdlib (libstdc++ or llvm-libc++) out of the box without any kind of sysroot.

Not sure how this articles brings constructive critique... Comparing the hardly avoidable issues brought by specific scope and priorities of scientific work vs dumb "bad practices" has little value to me...
cerisier··on Docker 1.12: Now with Built-In Orchestration
Have you ever tried running Kubernetes yourself ? Kubernetes is cool yes, but only on GCE, and managed by Google people. Apart from that, its nowhere near usable.

Docker 1.12 does just what Docker does best: Making complex stuff simple to use and give control back to people.
