Ask HN: What do you think of xsight labs?

Anyone heard or xsight labs (https://xsightlabs.com/)? They are making networking gear for AI and spacex satellites. I'd be curious if anyone can shine a light on: - Does full switch programmability actually matter in production, or is it one of those things that sounds great in a slide deck but nobody uses? - Is "on-path cores" in a DPU genuinely better than Pensando's P4 approach or NVIDIA's off-path model, or does it converge at scale? - Can you actually swap merchant silicon under SONiC in p

Docker for developers

"Works on my machine" is the most expensive sentence in software. Docker exists to kill it. At its core, Docker packages your application together with everything it needs to run — the runtime, libraries, and system dependencies — into a single portable unit that behaves identically on your laptop, a teammate's machine, and production.
