The Ballad of Yumi and Haruna 1 - Altered Carbon and Docker

So a couple months ago, the Kauai client invited Haruna and myself back to perform additional upgrades to their travel system. Specifically it was to migrate their entire system to the cloud (in this case Oracle OCI).

This time, Yumi also decided to come along. When Yumi and Haruna get together, it's always a party since they just endlessly trash me.

However, we also get into some discussions which are sort of fascinating.

While talking about the migration project, I mentioned that I had the docker image ready for their application. I then asked Haruna (sort of sarcastically) if she knew what Docker was?

Both Yumi and Haruna immediately replied yes.

"你記得幾年前 我們看了那個節目嗎 Altered Carbon？ [Just think of the show Altered Carbon?]" asked Haruna.

"記得啊。 [Yeah, I remember]." I replied.

Yumi then continued in English. "A docker image is just the cortical stack. It has all the memories of the person but it's dormant at that point."

"When you put the image/stack into a sleeve/container, then that information -BOOTS- and starts communicating with the outside world." continued Haruna.

Holy sh*t I thought to myself. How the hell did they come up with THAT??? That analogy is PERFECT!

"Where did you learn that???" I asked in disbelief.

"在小紅書 [RedNote]“ replied Haruna. "幾年前他們有一篇關於這[a few years back they had an article on this]。。。"

“我怎麼不知道你們對這科技有興趣呢？ 【How come I didn't know you two interested in this tech?]” I asked.

Haruna and Yumi laughed at me.

"我們對這沒興趣啊！ [we have no interest in this]" replied Yumi.

"Then how do you know this?" I asked.

"We read this while searching for information on the actor in that show. The article had a picture of him without his shirt on ... " said Haruna.

"嗯 [right]。Joel Kinneman. 他太帥了 [He's SOOO hot!]！！！
