Does anyone have Jenkins in production and found it to be reliable and pleasant to use?

I had to do lots of Jenkins integrations some time ago, and even though I tried to minimize the number of plugins and make things as simple as possible, things would randomly break from time to time or exhibit weird behaviour etc.

I had the impression that Jenkins is deeply conceptually confused about some of its concepts, e.g. how builds are triggered. Also, it is a huge pile of untestable spaghetti code which explains the weird bugs.

I modified an open-source plugin only to find out that it's almost impossible to write meaningful tests for it: you can't even mock Jenkins API without using the darkest Java mock magic. Jenkins classes are just written in an old style that makes testing _really_ hard but probably can't be changed without breaking all of Jenkins.

I tried Jenkinsfile which was only even more unreliable (at the time at least, this was > 1y ago). The whole idea of using groovy, modifying the hell out of it to make it even more weird and surprising and edge-casy just didn't go well for me.

I ended up with generating a _lot_ of very simple jobs for each project and connecting them via triggers instead. It was not very pretty, but it was the most reliable that I could get out of Jenkins.

So the thought of integrating Jenkins deeply into you deployments, talking to Kubernetes and sitting in the middle of a huge pile of complexity (Jenkinsfile, Dockerfile, Helm, ...) and magic "that you don't need to worry about" scares the hell out of me.

But then again, if you want to do CI/CD with Jenkins that's what you might want, right?
(I would prefer more simple approaches if forced to use Jenkins, though)
PHP is great platform for prototyping, even better if you're experienced. I actually used PHP a lot for general purpose scripting and code generation because it was so easy and fast. Now I'm at node-land (I had no issues with PHP I just needed something with concurrency and PHP didn't have it at the time) for a few years but I still have great memories.

Do what you want (and what makes you most productive) and don't care about others :-)

BTW: What I especially love about PHP is its documentation, or sort of integrated stackoverflow. I can't remember any other platform having "recipes" integrated directly in the documentation (which in my opinion, is brilliant idea)
Probably not. But it would be great if you could prevent your own contact info from being sent to companies outside the EU, indeed. In practice however, I don't think that will happen.
No it isn't. IP addresses are not personal data unless you link it to a natural person.
So it's a thread in which people criticize tribalist behavior by engaging in their own tribalist behavior.

Sounds ironic, I say from my self-satisfied position of detached superiority.
>Because you don't get to put the prices on it, its a market.

Except I literally can dictate the price as I see fit. Currently my 400 is slightly below of others because I don't want to deal with getting new tenants every year. You are now assuming that other people wouldn't raise the rents for "free" money - which frankly is just naive on your part.

Rest of your comment is just as nonsensical. There is no need to "model" anything. This is as simple as economics gets. People have more money to spend, so they are willing to pay more for the same stuff. My point with the moving is that people would not be doing it in general, which means they have to adapt to higher rent prices, which in turn means more money for landlords.
It's not personal data until it's linked to a natural person.
Thanks for the feedback! I was a little worried that the explanations would fall back too much on formal properties, so I guess I've got a bit more work to do on the visualization side of things.

Different tastes for different people. I found this website to be more useful, since I can browse, reread and skim through the text much more easily/faster than on video.
They also process the data which is explicitly mentioned in GDPR.
True of all countries.
I did some noodling a while back to see if LIGO could detect the mass energy conversion of a fission 'event' in North Korea. If memory serves it was definitely within the range in terms of impact to the gravitational field, but correlating a infinitessimally short pop of noise would be much more difficult than the death waltz of binary black holes.

However, a larger array of more sensitive detectors that are immune from the tremendous amount of terrestrial noise might make short work of it.
Yes, the real discovery is the detection technology.

So much of molecular biology and computational biology is tool building, so that one can see things that were not visible before. As Feynman said nearly 60 years ago:

>We have friends in other fields – in biology, for instance. We physicists often look at them and say, "You know the reason you fellows are making so little progress?" (Actually I don't know any field where they are making more rapid progress than they are in biology today.) "You should use more mathematics, like we do." They could answer us – but they're polite, so I'll answer for them: "What you should do in order for us to make more rapid progress is to make the electron microscope 100 times better."

http://www.zyvex.com/nanotech/feynman.html

Single-cell sequencing, ATAC-seq, HI-C, ChIP-seq, and all the other new technologies or old technologies like the antibody in this paper, these are all attempts at getting towards that 100x better electron microscope.
I'm not stateless. I have a work visa. The article explains the pressure of living on a work visa (shut up, get in line, or lose your job, visa, and country). Taiwan is not "home" because I can't start a family here. Even if I didn't care about children's military service, I can't get a Taiwanese passport without renouncing my previous citizenship and going to military service myself. Taiwanese PR doesn't give children nationality, and I would lose the PR if I leave for more than 2 years.
The testes don't provide a useful or vital enough function for the recipient to warrant the additional risks and effort.

Really, the only thing a male body normally needs its rocks is to produce some hormones. Those are easily substituted. Simple silicone implants will satisfy aesthetic properties. The tactile nerve endings aren't vital to recreative copulation.
Super cool, I didn't know that existed. Clearly someone else has had the problem I experienced too. I'll have to add that with a list of other useful resources on the site.

> Like it on not, science and research is what powers humanity flourishing

Not all science and research though. That's the whole point of my argument - we should direct funds towards projects that actually have tangible benefit to humanity in the future. I will eat my shoe if any application of neutrinos comes about in the next 50 years. Transistors? Great - those weren't invented by accident, and John Bardeen certainly deserves his two Nobel Prizes.
Yeah, for some reason I saw 60,000(!) requests on lambda all at the same time so I guess it had a bit of trouble scaling up. A scraper or Googlebot perhaps? Should be all fine now.
Indeed - this is one of the main motivations I had for creating this. 3b1b is great, but I much prefer reading than watching.
Hey, not harsh at all - thanks for the feedback :)

Yes, let's allow companies process personal data indiscriminately because it will help small businesses. /s

Please provide actual evidence that it will do so and that small data processing businesses actually had to endure big legal fees due to privacy protections.

The lack of start-up scene in most of Europe is caused by very different factors, mostly more conservative and less wealthy investors.
I guess I've made fun of php in the past, due to having felt pain in using it at a project, but I don't think even I would be a big enough jerk to do it to someone I didn't know in the a public space.
Personally I don't care about the difference between your two examples because a published URL is still a published URL regardless of whether it is a hyperlink or not.

However where I do care about the difference between an anchor and a paragraph block is with relative links or other URLs without the protocol prefix as those are harder to programmatically guess what is a web URL and what is an example file system path in a technical document (for example). In an ideal world the JavaScript, CSS and any web-APIs (eg JSON returns) would be executed locally to check any modern way of abstracting away URLs (page redirection et al). But that's not to say there isn't a place for a less sophisticated parser (though I would say that as I've also written a link checker similar to the one posted hehehe).

Intelligence agencies and law enforcement don't need that stick, becuase they have others.

This is a mixed blessing.

Laws like RIPA (in the UK) sound draconian and scary, but they do mean that almost all law enforcement activity comes under a legal framework and that there are checks and balances on use of investigatory powers.

The UK has more CCTV than any other country in the world, but now CCTV is regulated by the information commissioner. We even have a surveillance commissioner to look at what the security services are doing.
That's true. Totalitarianism is a function of ideas. And other factors, of course.

Like geography. Earth does not have a totalitarian government for that reason. It's too hard to control the whole thing, while it would be much easier if it were one contiguous flat continent. Probably the reason Europe isn't, but China and Russia are. And why North America may be in the long run (yikes!).
Actually, good basic research has a much quicker payoff scale, like 10-20 years. Transistors, fiber optics, lasers, paid off almost immediately- and were invented ON PURPOSE by the way, in order to facilitate better communication for AT&T. And I would pay $80 because I'm personally interested, but I'm the 1%, and I don't think you should force people to pay for it, therefore you should revise your estimate to .03 LHCs.
Yeah, well... it sucks. You do it for the money. (If you’re really lucky and you’re on one of the good teams you get to enjoy your work and the money. But most don’t get that.)
I can't really sympathize. At least to me, the risks involved in foreign transplants, and the drug regimen with all its effects, seem to outweigh the benefits.

No, I'm painting you as someone who has way too much faith in their own abilities to predict what can be achieved by pure research.

You can only demand more if you're certain that more is achievable. I don't see what evidence you have that allows you to conclude that.

And that’s where you’re wrong. Logically? Yes. In GDPR scope? They are personal data.

Guys debating with you is a blast but if you keep downvoting all correct information because it doesn’t match your gut feelings you’ll just become even more of a circlejerk of what you already have here.
Economics certainly was central to the story, past or future, but I wouldn't state it quite so strongly. Hopefully I'm not ignorant or naive.

Let's start from examples: youtube, facebook, twitter. The platforms' ad businesses definitely benefited from being centralised and proprietary. But, all three "won" their respective platform wars before those lucrative ad businesses existed. They won because that is where people put their content and where people looked at that content.

So, who does this economy work for? It just doesn't apply to regular, "personal" users. They don't get paid for content. The profitability of youtube or FB doesn't impact their decisions to post videos there. These decisions collectively determined FB, twitter or youtube becoming major platforms... people's choosing to post. If these users had chosen different platforms, these would have won regardless of how well these platforms lend to advertising^.

Centralizing news on FB (for example) isn't working (money-wise) for most news organisations or other established, professional content producers. Youtube doesn't work well (money-wise) for independent producers. Even if you have enough viewers to make a TV show successful, you probably can't afford 3 full time makers on youtube revenue.

So... the economics are very profitable for the platforms, but not anyone else. All the decisions that made these platforms successful are/were not directly related to ad-money.

Podcasts are the best example. They were the way to distribute certain content. Users adopted podcasts because the content was there, even though the UX was/is clunky. It happened to be decentralized and rss-based. The fact that podcasts work better economically for content makers than youtube... that was incidental.

^Of course, there are bounds of viability/sutainability. FB is at least an order of magnitude above that boundary. It would be possible to make FB with much less than the $25bn in ad revenue it generates.
There’s nothing in gdpr about data being given up voluntarily
Correct.

Demonitization is arbitrarily enforced.

There are entire categories of subjects on YouTube that are verboten just because they might come close to mentioning something that might bother advertisers.

Here's another take on it if you don't mind listening to someone speak about YouTube politics over video people playing games.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xARpOT1gnw

tl;dr;

Military history content creators get demonitized for content that's too close to guns.
Nope ip are personal data by themselves
I'm pretty sure previous privacy laws did little to EU businesses. (Some local more restrictive ones like German neither.)
LThis one will not do anything much like you said either. There ate much mote critical laws that are being tampered with such as tax code and employment laws.

"Others think that credit is just a scam ... which is absurd"
I understand that companies probably can't leave without it but I as an individual never took any loans in my entire life and not planning to get one. I don't like the idea and I see as it can get peoples life miserable, you constantly see people whining about paying the mortgage and credits even here because they basically chose, thanks to loans, the lifestyle they can't afford and because of how the whole thing works they can't easily get out of it.
Fully agree with your unpopular opinion :)

> If your company is going to succeed, why do you need VC?

It's not just the VC but also the definition of success. Nowadays I see this mostly defined as being able to scale up quickly to - preferably - millions of users, and raking in loads of revenue in short time.

But why not have modest goals in mind to define success? Get decent, normal salaries for the initial team of employees, instead of striving to become rich. Then grow slowly and steadily.. you won't need VC at all that way, if you plan things right.

Scrap the word 'disruption' from your business plan. It originally had a negative connotation anyway. Go for sustainability in the holistic meaning of the word..

(PS. I like the use the term 'anti-disruption-layer' in these modern times.. trying to create one)

Nothing's wrong with the good old PHP. In fact, it reminds me of my 2012 comment[0]. The website[1] proclaiming PHP as "most likely to be a fad" is, of course, long gone by now[2], while PHP thrives.

-- the old comment --

Particularly ironic is PHP ranking high for ``This language is likely to be a passing fad''. Given its 17 years of history and recent the recent progress with versions 5.3 and newer... whoever voted on this position either wasn't aware of PHP's actual situation and outlook, or was just being thinking wishful.

> Why does almost everyone know the language?

If anything, it is that almost everyone can dabble in PHP and ^C^V some code. IMHO real knowledge of PHP and its ecosystem seem to be quite rare -- judging by reading some published code, which was as generic and un-PHP as possible, and by [many clueless] comments [posted on] the official docs.

Been using rss since the early days, and still growing strong :) Google reader was my go to app for rss needs, but since they killed it I switched to "The Old Reader" and everything continued as usual :)

I do understand why some companies/people would prefer not to use RSS. From a money-standpoint, if you need to bring people to your website to get $$ from ads or other stuff, RSS makes it difficult. Basically, all content is free. Its great, but perhaps many websites with good content would not survive (perhaps many blogs neither)

Yes sure, but when you start one language having to learn another just to store and retrieve data is a lot to ask.

And of course once you progress with your data needs you get into more complex aspects of the language where the simplicity of the language isn't as important as the concepts and ideas it does express.
People's allegiances are tribal, and this kind of juvenile gatekeeping is probably only prevalent among teenagers and young college students.

I've never identified with a particular technology so strongly as to feel attacked when its flaws are pointed out, and vice versa, I have never felt the need to attack anyone personally based on the technologies they use. Some might be better for some tasks but not others, and that's the only thing that matters.

Experience shows that people who lack broad knowledge of several programming languages tend to identify as "language X developers" instead of developers as such. This enhances tribalism and creates pointless language wars. Any time somebody says that some particular language is the best choice for everything, or some other language is never the best choice for anything, they're just inexperienced and are trying to mask it with fake confidence. Except for Java of course, it's the worst.
The word "blog" appeared a few months before the infrastructure to draft and publish posts directly from a website form. And the concept of diaries/weblogs that it designated was a few years older.
I’m in the UK, intending to move out for obvious reasons (would’ve gone a year ago but relative got an Alzheimer’s diagnosis early 2017). Considering Berlin, Silicon Valley, or a PhD just about anywhere if the cost is in my range.

Once healthcare (at NHS level) and rent are accounted for, $100k in Silicon Valley isn’t as good as £37k in the UK. Germany has more expensive healthcare than the UK’s NHS, but significantly lower rent and overall is only slightly more expensive than the UK… unless you intend to eventually buy a house, in which case it’s suddenly much cheaper.
In my personal experience, people use PHP because it is the only thing that they were taught. NOT because they have considered options and have consciously decided to settle on PHP.
If you don’t like people shitting on the language you use, DO NOT become a JS developer.

We are using xml underneath, the problem is that since the graph can be cyclical the nodes and links are in separate lists, which makes a standard diff quite a poor tool. As you say, converting to dot and making a tool for that is probably the way to go. I was just hoping that I could do just the first step. I was thinking about SVG as well, but in that case the diff would have to be very specifically tailored and not much of a reusable brick.
