Have been working with it for a few months, and I am not positive about it.

UI is pretty but often breaks. Is unusable when you have a pipeline with dozens of concurrent jobs.

Concept of teams is fine, but when you have to switch between them, even with oauth authentication, it is a pain.

Job concurrency control is binary.

We never have been able to have worker pool scale down without a hiccup, always some darn worker hogging containers and atc not removing it, leading to stalled pipelines.

That overlay network it comes with, garden thingy, creates so many problems and solves just one...

Oh and not having BUILD_ vars available in tasks is rude, thank you very much, but there are cases when it is just mandatory and concourse makes it impossible to do.

At least new version has better secrets handling, previously it was a joke.

Thanks for this proposal! It might be a cool feature indeed. I created an issue about it in our issue tracker, see https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/35186.

We do not have immediate plans to ship that yet, but I pinged our product team member there. However we do have plans to ship multi-project pipeline with an "inversion of control".

You will be able to specify pipeline relation with an upstream project, and when someone pushes a commit to it, a downstream pipeline is going to be trigger automatically. See an issue about cross-project dependencies - https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/1681!
> It's truly unfortunate that the industry rewards those who don't tackle these kinds of difficult problems. The legacy is an industry where the problems are ubiquitous: flavour of the month architecture, my way or the highway bullying, either process of the month or "pragmatic" (aka ad hoc) processes, absolute disrespect for coworkers (I'm the only one with an ounce of sense).

Yep. However I'd say it's less of an industry thing and more of a generational thing that you can see that from customers all the way on up to C-level people and out.

Perennial favorite ISP Sonic.net is a great example. They're giving away free basketball tickets, free service (6 months!) to customers who are referred via NextDoor, additional discounts for new subscribers, etc. Existing customers get told to pound sand and complimentary rate hike. Other ISPs do this as well, but it's funny to see the supposedly good guys succumbing to the idea that loyalty is worthless.

CEOs, of course, get tasked with propping up short-term profits and get showered with cash when their short-sighted efforts fail (ex: Yahoo, HP). Of course this isn't particularly new either as Gordon Gekko style corporate raiders have been around for decades.
> 4. Bitcoin is already a net benefit to the economy. Venture capitalists invested more than $1 billion into at least 729 Bitcoin companies which created thousands of jobs. You may disregard the first three arguments, but the bottom line is that spending an estimated 150 megawatt in a system that so far created thousands of jobs is a valuable economic move, not a waste.

We cannot decide if an activity is valuable or not based solely on if it creates jobs.

e.g. suppose the government spends $1b on some entirely useless activity, such as employing people to dig holes and fill them in again. From the metrics of job creation and GDP this program can be regarded as a success. But there is a big opportunity cost in that resources and peoples' time has been spent on something utterly pointless when they could have been focused on a less useless or indeed a genuinely useful activity.

The world still has many genuine problems that still need to be solved. The time and resources could be directed to: maintain infrastructure, better educate people, roll out family planning programs, eradicate disease vectors, draft and enforce environmental regulation, build low cost housing, refit systems to improve energy efficiency, ...

I doubt writing safe C/C++ code is as straightforward as the Parent post claims, otherwise people at Microsoft, Google and Mozilla must clearly be doing something wrong.

If you've done this once or twice, sure, I think it's reasonable that the companies you worked for were exceptionally bad at keeping up with the times and ignoring technical debt.

By the fourth or fifth time that you've moved jobs for this reason though, I start to question your judgement. Every company is going to have some degree of technical debt, and the speed that trends come and go in this industry means that any company older than a few years is going to have some technology that isn't the latest and greatest.

A skilled developer isn't someone who refuses to accept any technical debt whatsoever, it's someone who knows how to manage it appropriately and balance it with the ability to execute.

Wow, almost every comment on there sounds like it belongs on /r/iamverysmart. They also match tone with one friend I still have on facebook, a guy who went to the same rural Christian high school as me and is now a London lawyer who sounds like he's competing to be the most pretentious person on earth every time he opens his mouth.

I've been trying to put my finger on what bothers me about that guy, and the econjobrumors people, and I think it's just the general un-empathetic contempt that they seem to offer pretty much everyone.

HN has it's fair share of bad habits (god help you if you post a demo website that doesn't work well on mobile, for example), but to me the overall tone feels respectful and kind, and most criticism is directed at the work rather than at the creator. That's what keeps me here, and why I stay the hell away from sycophant factories like the linked forum.

> So right there, just by comparing my declarative configuration with the current system state, it's clearly adding more value than "shell script executer".

Very little value in this regard. As I said, I could just as easily write
declarative configuration for machine deployment in a shell script.

>> There are many big companies that throw money at dumb processes only to make them running

> You said it can't scale. You're now moving the goalposts to "well, it can scale, but it takes more money".

I'm not moving any goalposts. If a process takes unproportionately more money
or effort for more input, it doesn't scale. Heck, in this case it doesn't
scale even if it takes the amount of resources proportional to the input!

> [...] you keep confusing your own requirements with mine.

I don't. I'm saying that you didn't learn anything significant, and as such,
you would be just as good if you put some thought into how to do exactly the
same with the tools you had (shell scripts). But now you're probably worse
off, because you most probably got misled by Ansible's marketing into
believing it is also a configuration management solution.
> I'm more than likely to shake your hand and wish you luck in your new job.

Sounds like it's still good advice if you won't fight for your employees to stay. The alternative to being upfront with your manager is just leaving when you think you can do better - many managers would prefer not to have the surprise.

> you're name's likely to get further up the redundancy list

Not my experience. In some cases, the employees able to leave easily are the better, or underpaid ones.
> But mediocre programmers consistently write safe C/C++ code, every day.

I think perhaps you and the author have different interpretations of "consistently". You might also differ on whether "safe code" is safe just because it hasn't failed (or been reported!) yet under current inputs.

> They do it as part of a much larger safety process, that is designed to be robust against faults at all levels

So, since we seem to have moderately good success through voluntary adherence to strict guidelines, we shouldn't automate away the possibility of some of these errors entirely when possible? What are the benefits of that approach?

Edit:

I think you can safely ignore my original comment. It's obvious now that I was interpreting it oddly by conflating it with some other comments and positions in this thread. Your comment does a good job of explaining how it is possible to write safe C/C++ consistently (although I might quibble by saying that it is only achieved by ignoring portions of the languages, thus confining you to a dialect of those languages, which is a point in itself to be discussed).

I would delete the original portion, but I believe in acknowledging mistakes rather than hiding them, thus this correction.

The occasional piece of music gear...

Once upon a time, I tried to be a rock star, and that didn't work out, so I pursued a career in a secondary passion... IT. That pretty much worked out, and I'm now comfortable.

Music remains my primary passion, though. I'm not particularly good at it, but I find the acts of creating arrangements, writing lyrics, and engineering mixes therapeutic and quite satisfying.

So although I remain pretty frugal with it (it is just a hobby at this point, after all), the occasional piece of "gear": a new audio interface, midi controller, VST, instrument, sample bank, etc... is rewarding and helps to keep me sane and happy.

As long as there is a single party interested in content hosted on IPFS, the "IPFS Network" will persist.

It would absolutely be the best move for IPFS to be used in this case - maybe something like the AkashaApp guys, albeit for audio-media.

IIRC they said "selective backup"

To me that means "stuff that's most likely fine to preserve and most likely isn't found on other places".

Also according to Sound Cloud's ToS by using them you are granting all users rights to "to use, copy, listen to offline, repost, transmit or otherwise distribute" your content. So if Archive Team downloads everything they can (that does not in itself violate copyright (i.e. they are not Metallica songs)) there should be no copyright issues.
>In a lot of places, having a talk with your manager about your salary before going off and actively looking for other offers is going to go down a lot better. Most line managers worth working for, value their teams and will fight for them if they are unhappy, without the threats.

This doesn't agree with the research here, and your first statement doesn't agree with your second. If you value your team, they shouldn't end up unhappy with their salary, and they shouldn't be thrown under the bus for exploring what they're worth outside the company. The tamest threat to fire them reinforces the point.

I think this is a risky strategy. For one, the only way to succeed this way is to be the best (or at least last the longest). Second place on the VP promotion doesn't mean anything.

Secondly, if your plan is to advance significantly up the management track at your company, take a close look the makeup of the current VPs / leadership team. I've worked in many companies where the CEO almost exclusively brought in outside talent for the VP level, and never promoted up. In those sort of situations, you're probably always going to be looked at as rank and file, even if you get into middle management positions.

I have to say that I feel as if the problem here isn't competent programmers though. It's competent testing that is lacking.

Sure, it's possible to make a lot of stupid mistakes in C, but most of these mistakes should be found in testing, before the code is deployed. You'll probably say that "We don't even have those problems in language X." and I agree, but you should run the same tests no matter the language, because you want to find as many problems as possible, even if you write your code in language X.

It is worth comparing this against the cost of minting money.

A brief search showed that the US mint used 694,462.4 gigajoules in 2011[1] (~0.2Twh). The US is ~25% of world GDP, so lets times this by 4 for a naive cost of minting across the whole world.

This gives a cost of ~1Twh annually for minting the entire world's supply of money, with a total Gross world product of ~$80 trillion[2].

Bitcoin is using ~1.3Twh[3] for a market cap of ~$35 billion[4].

Overall this means that bitcoins are ~3000x less efficient than physical money.

After writing this I've realised I should perhaps limit to the cash based economy.

The amount of US dollars in circulation is ~$1.3 trillion[5].

This gives a slightly better ratio of 222x less efficient.

Bitcoin is 222 times less efficient than a physical system of metal coins and paper/fabric/plastic.

The more you know an a C++ programmer, the more you're aware of all the things that can bite you and all the things you need to do to make sure you don't get bitten. Writing code within that cognitive envelope is a tax that's often underestimated. After spending some time out of that world, I find it amazingly tedious to get back into it.

If you're not aware of many of the pitfalls, you might not even be aware of the envelope you should be aware of.
The list involving electronics, vehicles are greatly useful. Thanks.
I've worked for companies that do this, although it's not publicized so I can't point you to a press release or something. Usually a very strong indicator is to look for companies who publish salaries, either publicly or to all employees. It's almost impossible for a company to underpay people when everyone knows everyone else's salary.
Very essential!
Couldn't agree more. Basically your current employer should really pay you what the salary you would get somewhere else plus an additional markup for the internal knowledge which you have already acquired (you should put a value on that as well).

Also don't believe any line manager or anyone else here posting that this is not a good strategy, because remember, every line manager is only an employee as well and has a line manager as well and they want to get paid a fair salary as well, so they either will do the same or they will have 100% understanding for it and if they don't then you know that the company has no interest in paying you a fair market value for your contribution.

This is the free market, companies love to play the game when it comes to having people let go (like SoundCloud), when it comes to taxes and when it comes to profit distribution and growth, so they should also expect to play the same game when it comes to negotiating employee salaries.
It was founded by Jason Scott (of textfiles.com) who works for the Internet Archive (which is nonprofit). So while I think the Archive Team is fully community driven project what they backup ends up on Internet Archive.
So, the first question to ask is: "Do I need the full-fat web development stack?"

If this is a hobby project, and the goal is to learn all five languages and 3-4 frameworks needed to create a traditional JS+API+DB web app, then go to town! Everything you want to do (eg keyboard-driven layout) is possible on the modern Web; you'll just need to read a lot of documentation. (And you will have quite a valuable skill-set at the end of it).

But if you just want to get something done (and especially if you're used to the ease of VB), be warned that the web is a exhausting many-tentacled pile of technologies. You might want to look at a simpler approach. I'm biased - I'm cofounder of a tool that aims to bring the VB experience to web apps (visual UI design, everything in one language [Python] etc - check it out at https://anvil.works). If you don't want to tangle with the web, something like Anvil, or building a native desktop application, are still possible routes.
HN can direct more traffic than you think, and it can do so very quickly. AT's backing up skills are fine, and if you've managed to be on HN for nearly 5 years without hearing about them then that does not make me too confident about your reading skills :)
