Definitely "strangerer".

Quote: Next, I discover the BS that is Microsoft's attempt at bringing .NET onto Docker
Fully accept I'm speaking form ignorance here, but why is it Microsoft's problem to bring .NET onto Docker? Docker is not a product I'm familiar with, but on the face of it, I'd have assumed it was Docker's problem to bring .NET onto it.

It is all about 'be-cool'... All those 'fashion' things we have to deal with in the last decade...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Normally, that's what would have happened also (my girlfriend, not your wife), but she had a bucketload of work to catch up on, so she was quite busy herself!

I read the first line, then the rest just looked like "TL;DR material"...
You're supposed to convince me that Docker is a good thing and make me want to look into it. Seeing a few paragraphs that looked like a semi-rant had the opposite effect...

Really?
Read the followup.
My experience using Docker Toolbox (which uses Oracle's Virtual Box instead of Hyper-V) is pretty good, and as long as you stay in the Linux world, it's actually pretty cool. But I really would like to get to a place where I can use C# in a Linux Docker container, so the next rabbit hole is .NET Core (or is it standard?) And then discovering how much of my core code base that I want to use doesn't work. Maybe there's a reason why Python is ranked so high.

Which is heavier? 200Kg of bricks, or 200Kg of feathers?
The feathers: 200Kg of bricks is just a pile of bricks, but if you carry 200Kg of feathers, you also have to carry the weight of what you did to those poor birds.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

The bricks: you also have to add in the CO2 the manufacturing adds to the atmosphere (even if indirectly from electric power). Seeing as more people are concerned with greenhouse gasses than animal welfare the weight of guilt is also higher on the bricks.

The feathers would have come from animals that lived and breathed, so they too would have contributed to CO2 levels.

Very good!
Alternative answer: 200 kg of standard bricks is approx. 60-odd, so you could, assuming you’re strong enough, make pile say 4x4x15 high and carry them all at once.
I’d like to see anyone carry 200kg of feathers without them being in some sort of container (or maybe held together by some sort of adhesive) – no matter how light it is, that’d make the total weight you have to carry greater than the bricks!

Are the feathers still attached to the bird(s)?

African or European Swallow feathers?

Bricks break bones when falling down.
Also, "Another feather in the wall" soundes terribly bad.

Are the feathers arranged in an aerofoil shape attached to a light frame thus producing lift?
If so the feathers can lift the bricks!

Feathers. They require bags to carry them.

Interesting, but they say you first need to install the fansmitter to send the data,
the show was using this as the method of first access, and remotely too.
