As a software engineer: 1) I need Docker to run some dependencies for my project: databases, caches, things like that 2) My IDE is quite a resource hog 3) I prefer my build process to be as fast as possible.
But most SPAMs are HTML, so you'll have a good default last-stage in-client filtering in place in case some SPAM actually makes it through the other setup on the server (greylisting, DNS based filtering lists, policy-based filtering, etc.) :)
A couple of weeks ago, I decided to write a GUI utility to propagate my new PuTTY default settings to existing sessions. I took the Go Walk package, which is Win32, and was done in several hours, most of those spent hunting down an obscure layout bug. So long with memory-unsafe languages.
Yellowstone rangers taught us that building an effective anti-bear trash container is impossible because the top 10% of bears are smarter than the bottom 10% of tourists.
They obviously didn't teach us that, because it isn't true. It's trivial to provide a container that can only be opened by following instructions that a human can understand and a bear can't.
That container won't work to stop bears from having access to trash, because tourists have the alternative of just throwing their trash on the ground, but being unwilling to bother using a bear-safe container is a very different thing from being unable to.
My prediction is that when Chinese factory-cities adapt to tremendous demand, we will see a new digital Renaissance with teraflops of compute in toasters and kettles. And we will laugh at laptops with 8 GB of RAM so hard.
