joecai··on Improve Docker performance on macOS by 20x
+1 That's not a thing at my job but I have given up using docker to replace the native dev environment. The idea of having each dev environment isolated and therefore not polluting the host system seems appealing but impractical. Performance penalty is a big issue if you are not on a Linux desktop. Docker can be handy at times for things like bootstrapping an integration test environment but I prefer having a native dev environment where I can run commands for the projects, run unit tests locally and debug easily, all of which require extra hoops to jump through if done in Docker.

Now I really hope this report turns out to be flawed.

joecai··on Life and Death in a Wuhan Coronavirus ICU
The official claim is that China is a socialist country with Chinese characteristics. It's not really true but that's the official claim. And yes, the Chinese government started to cover medical costs for coronavirus-infected patients a few days ago, which was also mentioned in the interview. I think the real problem is that with some many patients, there is simply not enough resource. I can only hope that things will get better soon.
