Seems docker is going from the frying pan to the fire. Have they added ‘resume download’ yet to docker? Over my slow DSL I can’t stand how docker makes me download 7G of images when I want to install something very simple, frequently it fails to do the download and I have to do it several times so it adds up to more like 28G of downloading and all that waiting.

I worked at one place where management was shocked when I told them the image build process would take 20 minutes on gigabit fiber up in Canada and we agreed to time it and I measured 18 minutes. Docker slows down “dev” to the speed of “ops.”

I don’t know how they did it but the data scientists could always find f-ed up Python images, you never got the same default character encoding twice, one time the default character set was Hungarian and I wonder how that happens…
