> The current legacy version of Jenkins needs to be restarted once a day by an administrator

Is this true? Do you have a source that says this? We have a Jenkins instance that Kubernetes is configured to scale down from 1 replica to 0 at night, and up to 1 again in the morning, so if it is true we never would have noticed. (It hasn't always run on this cron cycle, which is why I'm a little incredulous at this claim, but if it's given in the OP or somewhere else easy to find this, I'll concede it... ah... found it: > It’s not unheard of that somebody restarts Jenkins every day.)

Honestly I don't understand this about "making a version of Jenkins that runs well on Kubernetes" – this is the _only way_ I have ever run Jenkins, and I think it runs already extraordinarily well for our purposes. I'm thrilled that they are making it their focus, and I'll concede also that our use of it is pretty narrow, but I haven't had these issues.

We installed it from the stable helm chart nearly 2 years ago and have hardly needed to make any tweaks. We are not tracking every K8S release, so maybe that's why I haven't noticed Jenkins falling behind, and we also haven't tried GitLab seriously (heard great things, but my work is very risk-averse when it comes to new technologies, and to be honest we rarely try new things on a short cycle once a given problem has been solved adequately for us... we are also not primarily a development shop, so maybe it makes sense.)

> The article doesn't mention how Cloud Native Jenkins addresses the problem, maybe it doesn't allow plugins.

Like I've been saying, we've always used the stable helm chart for Jenkins and started maintaining our own values.yaml about a year and a half ago. Over time we have had less need to change the templates as more configuration got moved into values.yaml. When I have needed a plugin or other configuration that is able to be set in values.yaml, that's easy and almost makes maintaining Jenkins fun. It is a little obtuse that I have to maintain my list of plugins and their latest versions there manually, but this could be something that gets resolved in Cloud-native Jenkins if they are ultimately providing an operator or something like that.

(Breaking a rule by commenting before I've read all of the content, but I liked your article and wanted to give you some feedback since you posted it.)

For configuration that doesn't live in values.yaml, Jenkins chart maintains a Persistent Volume where configuration and build artifacts/history are stored. It is easy enough to take backups of that with the ThinBackup plugin, and the storage costs of that are sure not breaking the bank.

> Services interacting through Kubernetes CRDs in order to promote better reuse and composability

And there it is! That's the big announcement from today. Knative is still early but this news from Jenkins sounds supportive and I should really read the whole article / watch the video now.
Always happy to see a new reader. My only quibble is with the name - is it like diary or apiary?

> once that remote role is established there's enormous pricing pressure from literally every other worker on the planet

This is the important point.

> freelancers without any deep connection to any one company or city. This is happening... but very, very slowly since most workers are terrified of such an idea.

That's because outsourcing and freelancing are mostly a mechanism for fleecing labor. Workers SHOULD be terrified of this.
Why would an RSS reader with zero tracking or ads be a selling point? Those are not things an RSS reader should have to begin with, it's like advertising that you made an offline garden planner without tracking or ads: that is the expected baseline.

This seems a pretty strong case of the "having X is bad, so not having X must be good" logical reasoning fallacy.

I live in the U.S. and I have exactly one store that I go to which doesn't support the chip. Small store running on a shoestring, so I'm not terribly shocked. Everywhere else I go it's chip only, if you swipe the machine will bark at you and tell you to insert the card into the chip reader instead.
Just power it all the way down. It will take it longer to be usable again than pulling it out of this sarcophagus.

> A font family with the weights and other options a newspaper needs is a major undertaking. It's maybe 5 to 10 person-years of rather specialised work

I'd love to hear more about this and why it's such an undertaking. Is it the "Font family" aspect that takes so long, because the designers are expected to produce a never ending line of similar fonts and symbols? Do the font designers have to consider printing costs ("if we make that exclamation mark one degree thicker, it'll use fifteen incremental litres of black ink per year")?
Just few days before demo, huge huge amounts of cash was deposited in his managed loxal bank, & when demo was declared, as that money was already in bank's vault, it was safe. Also, the bank was type of Co-operative, kind of local credit union, these types of banks does not need to be interconnected between branches or with a central place, neither do they need to keep digitally timestamped records, manual book keeping on paper is allowed.

> why did they not consider divesting?

I think we can imagine many reasons why folks who aren't motivated to fund the museum wouldn't be willing to swallow their pride.

That said, I wonder if there's a role for a global museum rescue organization. It could be funded by anyone who wants to help and their role could be to go in to troubled museums and help out.

It seems to me that this might touch on cultural sensitivities however. People might be scared that foreigners are coming in and will steal their artifacts.
Computers are involved in the practical side of modern physics, but not in the conceptual side. When it is demonstrated that an algorithm will produce a trust-able result, no reference is made to any "real" aspect of computers. Instead, the algorithms are designed based on symbol manipulation and could just as well be carried out by a platonic physicist writing notes in the Mediterranean sand. The specific details of how computers are actually made impacts the implementation but not the results.
I think they mean that following ordinary procedures requires bribes. As in if you wanted to live the life you currently do, some bribes would be required somewhere.

I’m in the same situation. I used the Guardian as one of my main new sources but it’s become painfully bias towards the left.

I long for a source that gives solid middle ground information and analysis.
Last I used Gitlab CI I remember being somewhat infuriated at the fact that I couldn't use the Gitlab docker repo as the source for my build images. That was about a year ago though so that might be old news.
I loved new seasons when I visited Portland! Are they only in Oregon? It was like a more neighborhood friendly version of whole foods.

It is a thing, and it makes feedly a bad application. "Not having ads" does not make your RSS reader good, it just makes it "not doing something bad and frankly, plain stupid". Not having trackers or ads is a given, in the same way your coffee maker doesn't come with tracking or ads, and you should go "uh, what? no thanks I'll use something else, this is ridiculous" when you find a coffee maker that does. Selling your coffee maker as "doesn't have tracking or ads!" just tells us your product has nothing else worth talking about.

When arriving from Europe to the US it feels like going back in time. To take an example, in Poland most card transactions are contactless and I don't think there are any terminals left that do not accept contactless payments. When Apple Pay was enabled, it was instantly available everywhere (and I do mean everywhere) and nobody even calls it "apple pay", it's just known as paying with your phone, which was possible with android phones for a long time already.

Also, I don't think there are any places left where you swipe the magnetic stripe. If for some reason you don't use contactless, it's a chip transaction. I believe it's pretty much the same all across Europe?
Try swiping sometime. In my experience if you have a chip card and try to swipe it, the reader will reject the swipe and tell you to insert the card instead.
Visualize It with Pi: Creative Interpretation of Data via Raspberry Pi and LEDs
many Guardian opinion articles are designed to provoke the sort of people that read that guardian. To get them angry, or riled up, or uncomfortable.

As a result, in the same way that some right wing newspaper editorials (e.g. katie hopkins) are much more extreme than normal readers of those papers, Guardian editorials often make fairly left wing people uncomfortable. This is to encourage sharing and try to create viral articles that people will tweet about.

At the same time, the British left is in a phase where different factions are tearing eachother apart (which is why the current government is able to survive). For example the current debate around antisemistism. Or the anti-transexual feminist group that invaded the london gay pride march. Both sides of these debaes are reflected in the newspapers editorials, and few people would want to be assosiated with both sides at the same time.

In short Guardian oppinion articles are devisive, both for buisness reasons and reflecting social issues. People might distance themselves from them for reasons other than what you suggest.
Fortunately not exactly. It was such a massive project that everyone from my current team touched (or actually was touched by) it - including our current tech lead who had the misfortune of being assigned there briefly.

The topic came up on one of the introductory meetings and we shared our respective theories.

My take was that had this project had half the staff, it would take half the time to complete.

All and all there were over twenty people there doing daily standups.
Permutation City is by Greg Egan. Did you mean to mention Snow Crash? They’re both excellent.
That battery warning came only recently. Battery life has been terrible all along. Anecdata, anecdata.
But again, the design capacity of the MBP battery is less than that of the MB Air. It’s a questionable trade-off for a “pro” machine.
The first one is fine, it's humorous and relevant to the topic. The reply is pointless though, it's only talking about moderation of the topic.
I don’t own a windows machine and as a result wasn’t really planning on it. How hard do you think it would be to add windows support?
Zammad | Frontend, Fullstack, UI/UX | Open Source | REMOTE | FULLTIME | https://zammad.com

We're Zammad - an Open Source Zendesk alternative. Our beautiful and award winning ticketing / customer service system grows in numbers of users and supporters every day. So it's time for our already international team to grow as well.

Zammad is made of a Rails (5.1, 5.2 soon) REST API backend which powers a SPA build with jQuery, Coffeescript, Spine.js, SCSS. Feel free to check it out over at https://github.com/zammad/zammad

Frontend:
We started out with Coffeescript and jQuery (as may other Rails projects out there) but want to migrate our frontend over to a more modern approach. We're looking for someone professional, reliable and experienced to support us with that with the option to take a leading role in the process and for the frontend in general.

Fullstack:
We're in the final phase of completing our "zero (known) bugs" goal and already started working on refactoring the whole code base while providing new functionalities that our users and customers love. Help us with creating an exceptional Open Source developer experience, codebase and tool in general. We'd love to welcome someone with a strong Rails and/or Javascript background to the team.

UI/UX:
Our beautiful and award winning UI / UX is mentioned in all of the positive feedback we receive over various channels. It's crucial to us that we keep that level as the application grows and extends. We're still searching for someone who is willing to take over the responsibility and freedom that comes with it to make the UI / UX of our SPA even better.

I'm looking forward to hear from you lovely people.

Get in contact via jobs@zammad.com and refer to Thorsten. Thanks!
I thought chip and pin could be trivially captured/cloned due to some flaw in the underlying technology?
Ask HN: Is there a back end equivalent of egghead.io or front endmasters?
I learn best from structured courses, and I find courses like those in egghead.io and frontendmasters.com to be a very good way to keep up with the industry and improve my skills.

While there are a few backend courses there, these things tend to be very front-end focused.

A lot of things have changed in the last few years in the backend (Docker, Kubernetes, Microservices, Graphql, etc). Is there a service I can use to learn about all of this stuff in depth?
Agreed. This reminds me of those products in the grocery store with "produced locally" on them. If that's the best you can say about something, it must be really bad.
Gathering an audience is way harder without Medium. It might be atrocious in other ways, but it vastly increases the chances of your content getting read.
In closed conservative cultures, people pretend to have the same interests to fit in and avoid persecution but pursue other interests in secret.

I think philosophical explanations for our loneliness epidemic (found on both right and left) are missing more obvious practical causes: how we build, urban planning, economic systems that incentivize workaholism and anxiety, etc. Not saying other causes don't exist, but we should look at the simple ones first.

Gave you a compensatory upvote though because I am sick of ideological echo chambers. Things one disagrees with nevertheless can provoke productive discussion.

Suppose that's the case. How does the browser get the credentials? It's probably not from the user, because I never heard of a browser that requires a password at startup. It could be from the OS, but native "apps" aren't sandboxed, nor are they signed, so the OS has no way of differentiating between 2 apps.

Dynasty | Engineer | LA / Venice, CA | ONSITE

We are automating jobs, starting with leasing. Our business is growing fast and we really need 1-2 more engineers to help expand our bot’s capabilities, consolidate, simplify, and scale.

We are very early stage; there are six of us, and we started in Summer 2017.

Our first product is Lisa, a bot that leases houses and apartments. Our clients now include some of the biggest groups in institutional real estate. Onboarding is effortless—clients hire Lisa as if she were a human employee.

Prospects have no idea they're talking to a bot--they perceive a human leasing agent named Lisa, texting from a nearby area code. If there's a question the bot can't answer, it goes to human fallback. Most messages are full auto.

Speaking for myself, this is one of the most fun and technically challenging projects I’ve worked on. Speaking for the business, our unit economics are excellent.

We offer competitive salary and above-market equity.

Required: speed, pragmatism, a penchant for simplicity, and a history of shipping

Nice to have: NLP expertise, Tensorflow experience. Java. React, Flow, GraphQL/Apollo. Node. Open source contributions.

(Any of these are positive but none are required. Tell us a bit about what you're comfortable with & what excites you.)

If you’re interested, please email me. dc@dynasty.com
What if you decide to scam me?

EDIT: I’m genuinely not trying to be a jerk. Just curious how everyone commenting accepts the offer with no questions asked.
