Gitlab CI could almost replace Jenkins.

I say almost because Gitlab CI lacks one critical thing: support for tasks independent of a commit or other event. Stuff like "take a dump of the production database and synchronize it to the integration environment".

Also, Gitlab CI is, due to its nature of polling workers instead of the master pushing work to the slave as well as spinning up a new container for each job instead of reusing the same environment, slower than Jenkins which does matter for some people.

A particularly dumb case showing this is when something needs to be done on a remote server via ssh - in Jenkins, one has to click "SSH Agent", choose the credential, and you can use "ssh user@host" just fine and do whatever you want. In Gitlab CI, one has to check if ssh is available on the runner image, install it if it isn't present, eval ssh-agent, and only then it works - and all of this needs to be re-done at each run (additionally meaning that your jobs have a dependency on an Internet connection plus the distribution's package servers!). In Jenkins, with a proper tool configuration I can specify something like Maven or NodeJS and Jenkins will automatically install the tool if it is not present and then never again while in Gitlab, again, as it's stateless all will need to be re-done every single build time.
The article seems to be all over the place and mixes interesting phenomena like human biases and fallacies with pure speculation, like claiming "bots can easily ruin social networks" which they infer from merely running simulations. Obviously their simulation doesn't prove anything about the nature of networks of real humans (as one example).

Afaik their Botometer tool is also highly disputed, supposedly having way too many false positives.

They also use supposed "independent fact checkers" for reference, when those "independent fact checkers" on Facebook and Twitter are decidedly left leaning. This in turn casts doubt on their conclusions on the differences between Democrats and Republicans (for example something like Republicans are more likely to believe fake news as verified by independent fact checkers - or maybe left leaning fact checkers are more likely to label "conservative news" as fake news).

Ironically, the whole article is too long to comment on it all, kind of supporting the title of it (information overload helps spread fake news).

I find it very concerning how people start to overly rely on "studies". It really needs to become common knowledge that a "study of this" or a "study of that" really doesn't prove anything just yet. Those studies need to be scrutinized and verified and replicated, and properly interpreted.
Works like a charm. Some well-placed `display: none !important` sprinkled everywhere did the trick.
I mean, I agree full web apps are annoying to some extend, but if you’re loading a whole application in a few MB that actually seems kind of reasonable.

If my kids (late elementary, early middle school) and their friends are any guide, it's doing extremely well.

The thing my kids most consistently spend their allowance on is hypixel (a minecraft curated multiplayer server with some scenario-based games is the best way I can describe it).
Being careful is good, but this article goes too far.

> The best way to prepare would have been to enter this phase with as few cases as possible.

That is not entirely clear. It is possible that having more infections during the summer might actually be good overall because there was lighter load on medical facilities and immunity does appear to hold for a while after infection.

> In exponential processes like epidemics ...

That is way off. There is no need for exponential spread to trigger an epidemic. Currently the most accurate model for the spread of CoV2-SARS is from Michael Levitt and shows that exponential spread is completely impossible. That does not rule out fast spreading or mean we should relax, but it is important to understand that exponential spread is really bad and we have not seen that.
> Non-actionable warnings are meaningless.

Agreed. Yet that’s exactly what they’re trying to make use of here.

“The browser must not try to impersonate another browser

I think it has lots of (reasonable amount)

- Low end web stuff, i.e typical design agency work. HTML, CSS, Javascript, React. React is big, every frontend job wants React.

- Python. Mostly with big data doing stuff I don't want to do as shady, or the other big Python jobs are is deveops.

- Devops stuff, mostly Kubernetes. Almost every Kubernetes job I've done they hadn't needed Kubernetes and it's lead to massively over complicated infrastructure because everyone is doing Kubernetes not because Kubernetes was appropriate.

- Some Java but mainly knocking out Spring Boot apps for the big four (banks) or other tier one organizations. The type of large organizations that are so large they are dysfunctional.

I worked at Atlassian before the IPO and briefly after. Before the IPO it was pretty good, after IPO and they got a new CTO, my experience then changed as was on a great team that deliberately got broke up as even though we where labelled high performance the CTO banned the tech (language) we where using to standardize on Spring Boot as the CTO used Spring Boot previously at Gumtree. The glass doors posts at the time where telling. Pay was mediocre and they utilized a lot of 438 visas and I feel took advantage of overseas employees not being familiar with AU pay. Pay wasn't bad but was definatley on the lower end of Sydney rates and the CTO stood on stage saying they are quite pleased they will never pay as much as Google or other companies and still have people wanting to work for them as they are Atlassian.

Like I say, when you compare the job ads to somewhere like London, the type and variety of work is significantly different.

Right now I'd take a pay cut not to do big data, javascript or devops minus kubernetes unless they have a fleet of thousands of hosts working on a meaningful product.
You know, I actually wouldn't mind being a small cog if I could exercise the skills I consider to be my strengths.

What I'm fed up with is being given task after task where I have to learn whole new technologies each time, with not enough time to learn and do a decent job. It makes me feel incompetent and useless.
Sounds exhausting.
While everyone loves Flash games and Homestar Runner and everything, let's not forget that Apple's war was against horrendous Flash websites, which were never going to be reasonably accessible on a touchscreen phone.
Tools like Duplicati and Cryptomator also allow this. I'm using Jottacloud, 7,50 EUR for 5 TB (actually 'unlimited' but the speed gets slower after 5 TB). Rclone also has support for Jottacloud. Nice thing about Jottacloud is its hosted on Norway. They got privacy laws there. I know if you encrypt in-flight without having your private key remotely this is far less important, but still. Arguably, these products are therefore competitors.

The famous original "Napster Bad" (1) from 2000 was around 2 and half minutes long and only 600 KB (!) (specifically: 606,555 bytes -- just checked).

http://www.fastswf.com/jDwfXOc

And as it's drawn with vector graphics (I guess?) it can be sharper than most of the videos of that that you can find today (or was it fixed? I don't remember -- at least it looked so sharp then!). Anyway, the following video on youtube is approximately the content of the 600 KB swf, but, of course, with unchangeable and limited pixel rendering -- and around 50 MB in highest resolution.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeKX2bNP7QM

Edit: Just found -- the special edition captured in the above video is ~ 700 KB swf (719,527 bytes):

http://gpatricka.net/assets/napsterbad.swf

There, having 100 KB more, one can also click to see the "deleted scene", play a small "game" or read the hate mail. And it does render across my full screen.

Edit 2: Tried ruffle. It can play that swf. Ruffle good. (But it seems that the lines are thicker and that the connections don't look the same)

Could perhaps get it working on a RasPi 400; gets you a nice all in one package and I'd assume a raspi has the horsepower for most SWFs.
Does this block stuff like qutebrowser?
Yeah, this is ironically why I can't use in-app payments on Android; it prompts a Google Play login overlay and there's no way to verify that I'm looking at a legitimate request from the Play store and not a counterfeit from the app itself.

Not GP but I've been using FM for about 3 years now. I can probably count the spam that has got through their filter in that time on one hand and the same for the inverse of legitimate mail getting caught in the filter (each time it was admittedly sites on the sketchier side of the net).

I can't speak for search as I've probably only searched a couple of times but I found what I was looking for so it's probably fine?
i think you answered your own question
Perhaps Bradley Taunt is bikeshedding, but it doesn't mean he's not pulling in the right direction.

People obviously care because people obviously want their browsers to load content quickly. No one likes waiting for webpages to load.

How do you decide when a website/webapp is fast enough and you've "solved the problem"? On what range of devices and internet speeds do you test on?

As my family's personal IT assistant, I can't tell you how often I get the complaint that "my phone is too slow" or "my laptop is slow and heats up" when all they are doing is browsing popular websites. An we live in a developed nation with decent internet -- I can't imagine how awful it must be when you don't have those luxuries.

I think your comment is lacking severely in perspective, and the mindset you've demonstrated to be particularly bad for the web. Not to mention snide and dismissive.
Google already does reward faster pages and publishes tools for benchmarking yourself but it hasn't had anywhere near the impact that the AMP carousel did.
At the least, you're not alone.

Exciting, because I've been waiting for these platforms for like 15 years, since I played Warcraft 3.

But also bittersweet, because I have already resigned to having to eventually make one myself, and now it's done.
I know how a turbofans/jets work. My comment had nothing to do with the comparison with turbofans, and only that large amounts of air is being moved.

> It's the other way round - a Jet gains efficiency the more air mass it can 'process', because larger mass means you need to throw it out at a lower velocity to get the same impulse from it.

How is it the other way around, I explicitly said a Turbojet sacrifices efficiency to increase exit velocity.
Google has already done this, it hasn't had anywhere near the impact that the AMP carousel has.

I'm interested in this browser code you speak of...as a fledgling browser builder.
DoT is not DoH. Since it uses its own protocol and port, it's easy for networks that want to do censorship or surveillance to block it.

Of those platforms that do support DoH, how many of them have it on by default, rather than requiring the user to know it exists and turn it on?

Yes and back then everybody invoked "web standards". Well look at "web standards" now. Apple isn't at the forefront of implementing them anymore, they love their "native apps" and the billions they are making virtually for free with their store...

Haxe lives and does compile for IOS on though, the irony (or the power of open source).

Sure, you can embed Adobe's Flash or a JVM in a media player.

But what I said is still true in terms of implementation effort.

Yes, TX State in San Marcos, TX.

This university is a "degree mill" . . a farm for diplomas.

It has only about a 55% graduation rate. Most of the kids who end up at Texas State are the ones who did not study in High School - - - or, they just don't have the smarts or the motivation. The local town police and the local bars feed off the freshman and suck as much money off them as they can (new crop every year). Crime has gone WAY up, likely due to the increased minority enrollment. Not a racist thing, just FACTUAL reality.
It depends on what you mean by learning. If you look at the literature it is clear that lockdowns and quarantines are no use against fast spreading infections which need population wide safety measures and tracking of clusters. The primary approach we have taken is a dramatic departure from established epidemiology.

We did have a group focused on looking for and responding to epidemics, but it was disbanded by US leaders who find science uncompelling and inconvenient. Japan responded to CoV2-SARS by attempting to identify and focus on clusters and have had far greater success than the US, so your glib reference to "humanity" and "societies" probably needs finer detail to be completely accurate.
Looking back at our timeline, we filed the S-1 about 3.5 months before the first day of trading. (I'd been there a little over 2 years before that, so well after it was clear we had a legitimate chance, but well before it was clear we could IPO.)

I would say that employees who were there right before or shortly after the IPO weren't all that different in terms of initial grants. The only difference is that pre-IPO employees could get ISOs which have slightly better tax treatment than NQSOs.

I would make the decision based on the work, the pay, and your overall feelings for the space rather than whether you applied 4 weeks ago or 4 weeks after IPO. You already missed the gains before the IPO, but most companies have a lot more gains after the IPO than before it.

If you're the type to be jealous that you missed on the pre-IPO gains, don't go, of course. Those employees who made "millions" in the IPO didn't do it because they joined 2 months before you. They probably joined 2+ years before you.

I believe social and cultural norms changed over last century at least in West and this trend is mimicked by so called "developing countries" making parents isolated, tired and frustrated; add technological burden for kids not spending their developing time running around exploring world but be hooked to single pair or worst single adult because of all the danger increases amount of stress average parent has to cope with.. add to this how unnecessary stressful in some aspects modern became.

Thank you for your work on this project. Although like the author I have some reservations about moving to a virtualization-based approach, nonetheless I am grateful attention is being paid to these kind of technologies at all. WSL has totally changed my development workflow for the better.
Messagebird uses Go on the backend; I suspect that's why they wrote the FDW in Go.
The idea is that users should not be expected to or used to entering their Google credentials outside of a browser they don't fully trust.

>It's much, much safer, because the app can't see or hijack the login process - it doesn't get access to the login form and can't phish you with it.

Not really. On non-sandboxed platforms (eg. windows or mac) it does nothing because the program already has full access to the operating system. It could very keylog the password as it's being entered into the "real" browser. Regardless of whether it's sandboxed, it could also launch a phoney "real" browser (ie. custom build of firefox/chrome that has keylogging logic built into the browser itself), and keylog using that. I'm not sure how that can be detected.
I'd say about two-thirds of the time is coding / engineering work. The larger a project gets, the more coordination is required in order for all its pieces to come together at the right time and in the right way for it to to succeed.
That's a good point, there is a vacuum for a good general purpose task automation tool that Jenkins has historically filled.

The problem is that each of the magic functions you listed above are separate plugins. They're not part of Jenkins itself. Each plugin may (and often will) push breaking changes and vulnerabilities to your Jenkins instance, if they haven't been outright abandoned by their maintainers. Over time, your builds will steadily accumulate hacks to work around broken plugins, and your Jenkins instance rots.
I still joke about TDCM with some of my friends, but sometimes I wonder about Brian Kendall. Imagine if the most impactful artwork of your career was a dumb flash movie you made when you were a kid?

The archive only has a single animutation too, which is a bit sad. Some of them are uploaded to youtube, but that loses any hidden interactivity that some of them had. Hopefully someone can find the original SWFs and upload them.

> Preventing legitimate users that use different browsers is not good behaviour. One company shouldn't be able to control the web this way.

They're talking about their own services that they require accounts for here, not "the web", or even general search, AFAICT. You can still use google, you just can't log in using an app they aren't sure is trusted, for user security. Google goes a great many problematic things these days, but I'm not sure this is one of them.

You could keep a trusted browser around and use it just for authenticating and getting a token. That's all they care about here, that they have a certain base level of assurance that you aren't being directed through an application that can steal credentials.
Same. I would love a job comprising solely of jumping into big hairy systems and debugging weird issues. Its much more interesting to understand how exactly things work at every level of the stack (the bottom of the stack being OS/kernel or even hardware stuff, not a backend endpoint or database) than writing code.

Even the page where I used images came in at juuuust about the limit -- to the point where you'd have to make a ruling of whether the rest of the page gzipped counted because over the wire was technically <1MB but it was just above after decompress. The site does specifically say "downloaded", haha

This sucks. So instead of attempting to fix it, they're staying on the safe side and just demolishing it instead? Full cable replacement is out of the question due to safety? That doesn't make any sense either. This is clearly a budget issue that seems to have been made by bureaucrats.
I wish a research group would start from scratch and design the best PC and server hardware and software for today's world, not taking any backwards compatibility in mind, just pure, new stuff that's designed with all of today's advancements in mind.

The only reason Wikipedia can do that is because it's at the top of 50% of all Google search results. Constant epic scale exposure that Wikipedia has been able to use to push for donations (and further to build up a routine of it, an understanding of how Wikipedia operates, to millions of people). Realistically Arecibo has nothing like that to leverage. Donating to Wikipedia is a value to action instant feedback process: you land on a nice and helpful Wikipedia page, you derive value, you give some value back; again, Arecibo can't offer that kind of in the moment, click of a mouse, value-donation gratification to large numbers of donors. Arecibo's donor pool is mostly the Paul Allens of the world.
>If it succeeds, it shows other businesses how powerful ARM can be.

You say that as if it's about ARM. Plenty of ARM chips on mobile side - none of them come close to Apple mobile performance. Maybe I'm missing something but it looks like Apple has a good chip design department and I don't see how this translates to other ARM devices - Microsoft had their surface with Snapdragon and AFAIK the performance/usability was nowhere close.
> which were never going to be reasonably accessible on a touchscreen phone.

I mean you could say the exact same thing for most websites that weren't fit for mobile and touch screen either. It had nothing to do with Flash, it was 100% a developer's problem, not a tech problem.

Flash problems are: proprietary/closed source VM, performances and security, which was all on Adobe side, not Flash developers.

In fact, Flash apps did run on Mobile including IOS via Air. https://www.adobe.com/products/air.html

So Steve Jobs was wrong initially. Let us remember that Jobs didn't want native apps on IOS, he wanted people to write web apps and Native apps to be solely the prerogative on Apple, until he changed his mind. Now you be that Apple prefers developers to write native apps, since it makes Apple a substantial amount of money.
