If you just want to play with Jenkins, I recommend just getting it up and running in Docker and using only Jenkins Pipelines for jobs and JCasC for system configuration.

This directory (https://github.com/peterwwillis/devops-tools/blob/master/os/...) has basically everything you need to get the manager up and running as a container. (though I think I still need to add Docker to the master container, so you can use the host's Docker daemon to run arbitrary build agent containers on the fly)

From there you can play with the JCasC configuration to do things like add agents, configure the security realm, seed jobs at start-up, etc. Documentation is pretty sparse, but you can at least log in to the web UI and start playing around.

Outside of a single build node, I highly, highly recommend not using Jenkins. It's just such an unnecessarily complicated beast to manage with modern best practices, you might as well just cobble together your own system, or use a real modern distributed build system. It will take you just as long as going through all the endless bullshit options of trying to force Jenkins to do what you want, but you'll actually have something simple and useful in the end that works (if you choose to).
It could also be a paid product placement.

Does this argument prove anything? An enormous industry that wants to disprove man-made climate change science doesn't prove climate science is iron-tight. There are also many vested interests, at this point, in proving popular climate science to be true. This can be companies, politicians, and even just people who are invested in the hypothesis (either professionally or personally).

There are industries who oppose the hypothesis that climate change is man-made for personal reasons, but there are people on the other side who have similar interests. There is scrutiny about man-made climate change, but I've often seen such scrutiny lambasted by people who are too vested in the idea that man has solely created climate change. Is it possible that, despite push-back from oil companies, there is still group-think happening with climate change science?

As a disclaimer I believe a significant portion of climate change is man-made but also that part of it can be attributed to natural changes. I _definitely_ think we need to act to save ourselves from climate change. Climate change science has a lot of momentum right now and perhaps certain ideas have been given undue recognition or derision due to their conclusions found.
"In the spirit of C". What exactly is meant by that?
It's a little hard to know whether this is reasonable or not without knowing more about the circumstances (dollar amounts, is this change your decision or theirs?).

I haven't experienced it personally but I've had friends in similar situations. It's not uncommon for traveling roles to have additional incentives.

I worked for a company that regularly added an additional percentage to your salary if you were on a temporary relocation or were regularly traveling for your role. This was to account for the inconvenience of being away from home, family, etc. When you returned home permanently that percentage was removed.

I would ask if there is a documented policy discussing the compensation differences between traveling and in office roles. A company of the size you mentioned should have a policy for this kind of thing. Understanding the policy should help in your communication with HR.
About 10 years ago, the "honors" gen chem course at Cornell taught by Stephen Lee was attempting to do this. He might have written the course notes into a book by now but his health isn't great.

The course syllabus was presented as an onion bulb with the outer layers labeled as parts of MO theory (wavefunctions etc) and the core was the "beautiful flower" of the chemical bond, which grows out of the surrounding concepts. The course began with wavefunctions discussed in the context of audio and vibrating plates (e.g. violin bow on a square plate with salt shows its resonance modes) and built it up into first principles derivation of macroscopic observable properties of a substance.

Anyway, the coursework was absolutely brutal for most freshmen, and the premeds hated it, but about 5 percent of students every year got absolutely enamored by the beauty of solid state physics.
How to apply a function to multiple vectors / lists with R
That is a loss of power steering, it’s not a loss of steering. You can still steer the car although it requires more strength at low speeds.
If one were to have a choice, I would steer clear of jenkins for home use, and use a gitlab runner instead

Jenkins is fine, if you commit to maintaining it, but thats a non trivial task.

THe joy and pain of the gitlab runner is that the job is tied directly to the git repo its attached to. This means that unlike jenkins, the setup is versioned, meaning disaster recovery is much more simple (spin up new runner, attach to project. Done.)

You do then sacrifice multi-project pipelines, but even in very large companies, I've only missed that feature once. It also in no way makes up for having to look after 60+ jenkins masters. (dont ask)

Yes, you gitlab gives you less control over environment, but I would put forward that this is only an advantage when running on windows.

In Europe this could be a violation of GDPR not to report it. If so, they would hurt themselves more by spreading this.

No offense, but I do this stuff for a living.

Yes, not all insurance companies in the US approve the day after. But some do (I’ve personally witnessed it). How else would newly launched drugs have sales in the first quarter? People sure as hell aren’t paying cash.

Since it’s before a policy is formally written, it’s often a manual approval based on medical necessity. The issue with PA denials is separate from actual reimbursement, Germany has PA requirements too (as they should, why pay for a new drug if an old drug works just fine). I never said it was easy, I just stayed they are paid for quite quickly.

A drug I recently launch was approved by the EMA last year, it’s still not available in many EU countries because reimbursement hasn’t yet been approved.

And yes, the drugs are expensive, but at least with orphan drugs, they still cost hundreds of thousands in the EU. The price window for orphan drugs is quite narrow between the US and EU.
I caught you mid-edit so forgive some stale quotes:

> It’s all moot as I said

It absolutely isn't. Security matters. HTTPS matters. This stuff is real.

When a website argues for why it shouldn't bother with HTTPS, it's generally because they don't know what they're talking about, and they end up putting users at risk. Personal favourite: [0]

> It’s the only game in town and the game is whack-a-mole.

HTTPS is doing pretty well. There's always some element of whack-a-mole with security matters like this. (Personally I favour different metaphorical mammals: cat and mouse.) Even OpenBSD doesn't have a perfect record. Perfection shouldn't be the enemy of progress.

We have online banking and online tax forms thanks to HTTPS, for instance. Without crypto, these simply wouldn't be possible.

When we read of lawyers using fax machines, that shouldn't reassure us that plaintext HTTP is perfectly fine, it should alarm us that such an important profession has such inadequate security practices.

> As is running out of IPv4 addresses.

I agree this isn't exactly a good situation, but it's not going to paralyse the Internet. Worst case: the price of an IP goes up. Best case: IPv6 at last.

> And yes, you can encrypt the channel within a app

You've ignored the point I made. Are we talking about a web app, or a conventional app?

If it's a conventional app: yes, you can layer your own cryto atop raw TCP, but it's a terrible idea. You should use HTTPS, or use TLS directly, or if you're in a Unix mood you could use SSH. There is no reason for doing otherwise. You cannot avoid the questions of key-management by handling the crypto yourself, you're not improving anything fundamentally, all you're doing is risking introducing easily-avoided security bugs.

If it's a web app: you simply cannot, because you have to securely deliver the crypto software to the end-user, which you cannot do without HTTPS.

> I just decided not to debate those issues as such as self signed as it’s a pointless to go on about

Do please go ahead. The point of HN is discussion, after all.

> self signed certificates.

These do not protect you against a man-in-the-middle attack. They do not protect you from connecting to a host under the control of an attacker, posing as the real host. They only give you protection against passive data-capture. That, and a false sense of security.

OK.

But why did we end up with baseband radios instead of cellular modems?

Is it because they grafted "computer stuff" on phones? Instead of adding cellular capacity to computers?

Or is it just because we can't have phones without surveillance? All those wiretap-ready requirements, I mean.
PastCast: The Quantum Theory
>They conclude that high IQ (>170) is mostly not caused by genetic variants.

The abstract does not mention that; they claim:

"This study shows the utility of extreme trait selection for genetic study of intelligence and suggests that extremely high intelligence is continuous genetically with normal-range intelligence in the population."

I don't think anyone would seriously claim that high IQ is mostly not caused by genetic variants, given the prior knowledge of the heritability of IQ.

The spirit of chainsaws with no hand guards haha.

But actually, to me that means a thin, light API with a couple of functions and some macros. Does what it needs to do, no more. Error handling is basic if even provided, usually via return of numerical error codes.
Ultimately one man can do only so much. Thus you start to involve middlemen who do not necessarily make optimal decisions - and you have to predict their result at least in the median. Stack many levels of this, each accumulating error and delay. Good luck.

There is such a thing as control efficiency gain, which you have to balance against stability and constraints. It's a really tough problem, and since economists only work with slow averages, the gains they can make are relatively small over the general growth if present.

And that presumes your optimization condition is ultimately correct and complete, which most of these are not.

Even an oracle would have limited efficiency unless it could reproduce itself. Even if you can observe all states that does not mean you can control them.
Yes it does. That's the whole point

If you want to build something which can't be compatible with popular standards, what is the better choice? Build it anyway, or let those standards stop you? It's the same reason I can't read my PGP-encrypted email on my phone.
If you study Anarchist philosophy "mutually agreeing on a set of rules etc..." is effectively the syndicalist answer to this problem. However as you point out, history seems to show that this is incredibly unstable and is easily dominated by someone breaking the rule of non-violence.

The radical monarchist-libertarians answer is to eliminate the commons, such that everything has an explicit pricing mechanism. No less problematic, or unstable.

I think in the end, there is something about humanity that does not allow for stable equilibrium over extended periods (100s of years). Not sure what.
A paranoid guide to fighting the ‘bugging epidemic’
I organize todos in the note-taking tool I'm building, http://remnote.io/.

I have a main "unsorted todos" inbox that I can quickly add to from anywhere (I just hit CTRL + ALT + E). I then go through this list and organize it by moving the ideas to specific features that I'm building / designing. My high-level areas of focus are already set up, so this organization process is pretty fast.

I like keeping my todo list with the rest of my notes, because I can write long brainstorming docs paired with my todos. Additionally, I can make linked references to the todos from elsewhere in my notes.

This is odd: that table suggests the MAX has flown 600k flights, but https://randy.newairplane.com/2018/05/22/737-max-a-year-of-s... suggests the MAX had only flown 41k total flights six months before the first crash. Adding >500k flights before the grounding seems implausible.
Page 155 of that Hitler psychological analysis performed by the OSS in 1943:

> "8. Hitler might commit suicide. This is the most plausible outcome. Not only has he frequently threatened to commit suicide, but from what we know of his psychology it is the most likely possibility. It is probably true that he has an inordinate fear of death, but being an hysteric he could undoubtedly screw himself up into the super-man character and perform the deed. In all probability, however, it would not be a simple suicide. He has much too much of the dramatic for that and since immortality is one of his dominant motives we can imagine that he would stage the most dramatic and effective death scene he could possibly think of..."
"Rules are only as good as their enforcement"
Then these articles saying scientists are "Against statistical significance" are misleading. It sounds like scientists are more pro statistical significance than ever, so much so that they want it to be defined and interpreted correctly.

I guess many people would benefit from taking a high school statistics class.
I have sympathy for people who made bad choices. I believe in helping them get better and make better ones in the future. I don't think the time is when their presence represents a threat to one's family.

I also regard violation of a family home as such a crime as to render the person difficult to redeem. The kind of people that make such choices aren't just high right now they are also bad unethical people.

The poster above made a conjecture that it was incorrect to assume one was in mortal danger from a robber and that shooting such a person was an overreaction.

I considered that. Actual stats say that 1/4 robbers that break in while individuals are home victimize the people therein and 39% had a weapon.

This says to me that a house breaker is a substantial risk refuting the prior posters expressed idea.

This is super interesting to me. I have a couple questions! Although, by the way, found a typo on your /api page-- "The power behind MAC Vendors API is it's simplicity. Get started instantly, no registration required." That should be `its`, not `it's`.

Anyway, this whole thing confuses the hell out of me. You're receiving 3.6 billion requests per year and you've been serving it all for free with a single adsense ad and only making a couple grand a month off of it? I feel like I don't really understand. Shouldn't the hosting costs for multiple billions of requests be huge? Shouldn't you be charging for that? I'm speaking as someone who's never built anything like this, so I don't really know.

> What are the Unicode code points for End, Calculator, F7, and Paste?

True; OTOH, there already are control characters such as `BS`, `DEL`, `BEL` and so on that also don't make all too much sense if you look at unicode just as a collection of glyphs. So, I personally would still maintain that allocating a couple of blocks for stuff like this wouldn't hurt that much.

Also, no one said that the HID specs could not describe a superset of unicode (e.g. transmit letters with a unicode prefix and control signals normally (or something similar)). It's just that the way things are now is about the worst case in a lot of ways.

But: As things work good enough, they likely won't change for a long time, so going on about it certainly is futile, too ;-)

Deval Patrick needs to get his name out to have a chance at the democratic nomination. In California, deval Patrick should go see California attorney general Becerra and ask him Why his office is not investigating the LAPD Crimebuster vigilante complaint filed with becerra two years ago.Deval Patrick is a former Civil Rights Lawyer for the justice department. Deval Patrick, Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden would be wise to work with the Los Angeles Chapter of Black Lives matter. 43 percent of Los Angeles homeless are black males. Becerra now refuses to investigate the violent anti-homeless crimes onto the Los Angeles Homeless by the LAPD Crimebuster Vigilante. LA Crimebuster vigilante attacks on the homeless is , in reality crimebuster vigilante attacks on the California Black population. LApd Crimebuster Vigilante is racial crime by the Racist LAPD. If the democrats don't take up this issue. President Trump can easily win the issue and gain African American Support all across America. Trump may order US Attorney General, Bill Barr and the FBI to investigate the racist hate scam that is the LAPD Crimebuster Vigilante Scandal.
This sounds pretty interesting. Did you ever do a write-up of it?

The most important tools I've found is simply setting milestones and deadlines. The software almost never mattered - the mentality of setting myself accountable to deadlines was so much more important. When fleshing out smaller tasks for milestones, I've used Evernote, Clear, Notion, Trello, Google Docs, etc. All of those are great, but I never really cared about the % progress - only that I was going to hit the deadline and working as hard as possible to reach it. The tools end up being a way for me to not forget little things I decide to shaft in order to reach a ship date.

Derek Lowe's comments on the reboot were understandably a bit skeptical:

> [W]hile the new larger EMERGE data do look like there’s a dose-responsive effect in the primary measurement (the CDR-SB scale) and three secondary dementia scores, the ENGAGE data actually show worse than placebo for CDR-SB at the higher dose (see slide 19 in Biogen’s presentation). They’re also worse than placebo in the MMSE scoring, but both the ADAS-Cog13 and the ADAS-ADL-MCI scales show apparent dose-responsive improvement. I have no idea why four different dementia rating systems should give such different results, and to a first approximation, no one else seems to have a good idea, either. So we’ve got the EMERGE/ENGAGE difference to explain (you’ve seen Biogen’s explanation, higher dosing later in the trial), and the variable results within the ENGAGE trial itself. And who are these high-dose patients in the ENGAGE study that Biogen says line up with the EMERGE trial? Ed Silverman at Stat quotes an analyst saying that it looks like fewer than 100 patients out of the whole set. That reminds me a bit of Biogen and Eisai’s tease of “We’re seeing positive data!” during the clinical trials, which also turned out to be based on a smaller number of patients than one would want when making a call on Alzheimer’s efficacy.[1]

Do the (A)GPL or the EUPL really require the publication of hacks for private use? I thought that was always linked to redistribution of the software, not use.

Also, doesn't the Parity Public License violate the OSI definition of "Open Source" by requiring users to “Contribute software you develop, operate, or analyze with this software”. This kinda reminds me of MongoDB's SSPL which (I think?) violated the "license can not restrict other software" rule: https://opensource.org/osd
