It would make more sense if this high end software was priced per days of use not for the number of months that I've owned it. It even includes games like World of Warcraft. I'm unhappy using low end software and so I end up buying crazy expensive software that gets very infrequent use: Mathematica, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Acrobat Scanner/OCR/X Pro, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator, QuickBooks, SPSS, Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, Microsoft Word, Excel, the list goes on and on. My problem is that I'm a nerd and I like using software. I also don't mind paying for on-line services: Arq backup, Dropbox, etc. I don't mind paying for IntelliJ, its a great product, and I get regular use out of it and JetBrain's other tools. Professionally, I use Linux, MacOS, Windows, Emacs, programming languages, and TeX a great deal and they are all extremely powerful and end up being either free or just part of the expense of having a computer. Furthermore, some subscriptions seem to be intentionally hard to turn off (WSJ news and Adobe products). I would much rather purchase a program outright. What bothers me about subscription pricing is how expensive it invariably turns out to be considering the amount of use I get out of a program. Thirty years ago, I had a $20/mo land line, and a TV antenna, and that was it! Think about that! I'm not at all clear that my quality of life is $500/mo better than it was back then. If your model requires a monthly payment for something, it must literally change my life, at this point. This is why people are saying they only pay for a subscription if it REALLY matters to them. I just can't keep paying for all these things, even when they're only a "few" dollars, every month. I understand everyone wants a subscriber, not a customer, but my budget is dying a death from a thousand cuts here. and I'm probably forgetting several others. Then you have Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, Sam's Club (Premium!), Google Play, some stupid app my daughter needs for $8/mo, Wolfram Alpha to help her with homework, LastPass, Apple iCloud storage, SpiderOak backup, Google apps for business. Cell service and cable TV & internet are already $350/mo for me. What non-life-critical apps or services am I paying for every month? Quite a lot already. However, even after I've pulled down the image from Docker Hub (as in this case) it will still take several minutes re-pulling the same image.It's a function of the straw that broke the camel's back. Especially once the image from Docker Hub was already downloaded onto my local machine. => => writing image sha256:25a9f036db87ec77ef64e2dfae9cffe2973a947887face86d989cdaa60169216 0.0sīefore I upgraded to Windows 11, I'm sure this part of the build would take several seconds. => RUN pip install -r requirements.txt 40.7s => CACHED RUN pip install -upgrade pip 0.0s => CACHED COPY requirements.txt /code 0.0s *=> load metadata for docker.io/library/python:3.8 81.5s Is this normal? => load build definition from Dockerfile 0.1s The steps " load metadata for docker.io." and " load build context" take soooooo long every time that I build my docker image that it's painful.īelow is an output of a recent build, and the above two steps mentioned (*) have taken almost 4 minutes combined.
