Corbyn is yet another proof of the hopelessness of Western electoral politics. Just merely viewing Arabs as human gets you disqualified and destroys your political career, when he was a major reason for the party’s success to begin with.
Please demonstrate how the example I gave above can be done with common scripting tools, such it would mimic the declarative experience I described. I don’t think it is possible as you claim.
Can you please point to where I deflected any questions? I looked and could not find any instances of such.
I actually answered the question “why”, please refer to previous comments. It is also answered in the main post. But I will rephrase and summarize again here:
They already have been

Distroless is not core to the idea. It’s only a nice to have. The main point is the composability, Declarative design, etc.
the base image is nodejs
Which has its own dockerfile. My proposed tool would allow using other images as base too, but that is not the problem it is solving.
copy your app
Well you’d have to have it compiled or built if that is required in your case. With my system, the build recipe would be a gentoo ebuild (shell-script-like) that you would just reference.
The example I gave is pretty simple, you’re right. Say in another case, you list the following packages:
nodejs, nginx, vpn-app(wireguard), some-system-monitoring-app, my-app
You could start with a nodejs base or an nginx base, and then write the steps to install the other. You’d also have to make sure to get all the deps if they have them.
You’re unlikely to find a ready image that has all what you want. But with my method, you can compose different ones however you like, rather than having to find an image that matches your exact use case.
I had a feeling nixos would have something, but I avoided it because it seemed more than a day’s worth of learning (and also its a bit opinionated). But I will revisit it one day!
Did not know about apko. I am not attached to distroless, just thought it was a nice to have. So apko might be a reason I don’t pursue this project anymore. Thanks for showing me!
Your comment is very insightful for other reasons too. Thanks a lot :)
The package manager would not be part of the container image. The package manager is only used to build it. The container image will only include the packages the user specifies.
combining portions of images as multi-stage builds
That’s something I am making use of for this, actually :)
What you’re describing not only already exists…
Can you please give an example of a tool that can build a container image by being given only a list of packages it needs to have?
My tool would be as simple as doing something like this:
build-container --packages nodejs-20.1.1, yarn-4.2.2, some-app-i-made-1.0.0
And I would have a container that only has nodejs binary, yarn, and my own app. no package manager or any utils.
Most people use JavaScript for this nowadays, but most commentary also hates on it.
I’ll be real with you. There’s a reason JavaScript keeps being chosen despite the hate. It’s so much easier and the dev experience is much more polished for creating desktop apps.
The reason it’s hated on is that it is running a browser in the background, which people view as too bloated for a desktop app. Moreover, JS tends not to play well with system-wide themeing like GTK or QT.
But in the end, as a developer, you’ll be dealing with a lot of messiness going with anything else. If you’re up for a challenge, do try other things. But if you just want something that works and looks nice, do Js
Sheinbaum is better than those two, but not as much as you think. Her mayorship and her party have good relations with Israel, cooperated with the US in violence against migrants, and silenced protestors.
Pharma investors have a solid position and are already racking big profits from the continuous model of insulin treatments. A cure would be a detriment to their profits, so it’s not something they’re interested in funding.
No investor nowadays thinks a one-time-payment product is worthwhile. We’re already way past that.
This isn’t to mention that if you were an investor who decided you wanted to go ahainst that, that the other mega corporations (with more funds than most of those 5% individuals) wouldn’t engage in anti competitive practices to shut you down. Many companies had good products but still ultimately failed. I mean hell, the boeing events have shown us the lengths a corporation is willing to go to protect its profits, and that’s just what we heard of.
Unfortunately capitalism does not allow innovation to flourish like many of us were taught to believe.
The bar to entry in the pharma market is extremely high. You need a lot of capital to enter it, which quickly disqualifies 95% of the population.
Now of course, people without money can still get funding from investors. But those investors are already racking big profits from the continuous model of insulin treatments. A cure would be a detriment to their profits, so it’s not something they’re interested in funding. Not all pharma is insulin, but it’s one of the bigger pharma industries.
This isn’t to mention that if you were one of the 5% and managed to have the resources to find and produce a cure, that the other mega corporations (with more funds than most of those 5% individuals) wouldn’t engage in anti competitive practices to shut you down. Many companies had good products but still ultimately failed.

I tried it about a year ago. I don’t remember why I left it, but I think I did have a couple issues with it related to nvidia. I’ll try it again.
Will Godot be helpful? Given what I’m making is non graphical and I don’t really want to use pre-simulated stuff.
I don’t want to do it absolutely from scratch. I do want something that makes the math easier, but not restrict me in how I simulate something.
So I want something that would give me common functions used in simulations, but not something that gives me “here’s a model for money or person”.
I am simulating a database table as a json list. So a join table would be simulated also as a separate list (or separate json file).
What I described in the comment above is the same thing I originally described, but expanded.
A dependency relation can still be many to many (and in my case, it is). The comment above gives an example to prove it.
Sqlite is nice but the file would not be readable in a plaintext-like format from my understanding.
That’s a good point!
I agree, Israel has committed far too much horror to be ignored, but at the same time I wouldn’t consider them to be representing any “religious group”. They only represent themselves and their supporters, some of which are diverse in religious background.
