Except that sublime does all of that, supports plugins written in python, and doesn't screen tear, and leaves me some RAM for other things

The other takeaway from this is that if (like me) you prefer a GUI / X style editor, sublime text is a pretty good contender. Personally, I really like Sublime, it was one of the best returns on investment for me (even buying it twice)

Sure - but is there any alternatives? Gitlab does have issues, but so do GitHub (and other providers). If your service is taken down by code hosting going away there is issues - unless you are running a code hosting service, or managed DevO

This is the type of workflow you get when using something like gerrit. because gerrit forces every change to be a single commit, you have to rebase, which ensures that the history is nice and linear. I know there is some people who prefer t

The VMs are per job - once the CI run tests that the orchestration has created the right system config on the VMs, and that basic integration tests work, we destroy the VMs. I have worked in two companies now with Cloud Foundry distros, and

Well, to be clear, it's fly login --team-name internal --concourse-url https://<url> -k (I think) Vs just going to the jenkins UI.

by mugsie 9y ago
Yeah - I can't remember the actual failure, but it did not work out well. We also need the VMs to survive across build steps. We are working on an P/IaaS - so integration testing requires actually booting a full stack, then runnin

Never run long running services in screen. Use a proper init system - screen is not the solution.

I have seen it, with not too many pipelines, and it just falls over. (and no, it is not a potato - its a pretty large bare metal machine)

by mugsie 9y ago
Well, yeah. Different stages go to different log files, so you don't end up with a 10k log file.

by mugsie 9y ago
Sure, but if a job fails for a transient reason, there should be a way to retrigger it - that is just a basic feature of nearly all CIs, no matter how many jobs there is.
193.
by mugsie 9y ago
Yeah - it is a "problem"[0] with open source - you need to deal with people that may have completely objectives to you. It is easier with a closed source / paid service to ask for feature requests. Remember that the maintaine

buildkite looks nice - but on premise is a current requirement, as not all our repos are on the internet. Looks like a cool product though

Booting VMs is kind of the main one.

sure - I can use fly. if I got to the page, find the link to download the right version of fly, then remember the archine incantation to login, find a job, and find the logs. Or - I can go to my Jenkins build page, and click "Show fu

I know everyone hates on Jenkins these days, but (at least for the workloads I am building) Concourse feels like a toy. My issues: - everything has to be in a docker container (not all things can run in garden) - Just trying to find logs

We also currently have technology, and could have allowed HTTP/2.0 to allow for this, if we just used SRV records. If we had SRV records, you could whatever damn port you want, and it would be invisible to users. It would also allow us

Only one of the main Open Stack projects uses Django - and it is a complete pain to work on as a result. Most of the projects in OpenStack use Flask or Pecan - or Falcon for one or two of the more performance sensitive APIs

This is in the US, with the broken Chip + PIN implementation. I can go to pretty much any ATM in the EU and change the PIN on all of my cards.

by mugsie 9y ago
I have been using contactless payments for years here, and the 4 other EU countries I have been in this year, all accepted contactless. You may not have been able to use a US contactless card, but people do use it. It is also worth noting

by mugsie 9y ago
Yeah - my EU cards can use a PIN in some machines in the US now.

Signature is also not something "you are" - it is an easily faked thing, that is basically never actually verified. PINs can be changed, so if you came up with a way of memorising them, its easy. You also don't need PINs for

by mugsie 9y ago
Sure - but the rest of the world had the same assumptions, (and infrastructure) and we managed to do it. Chip and PIN is not the sole marker, but it is the most obvious one, which is why people use it as a benchmark.

by mugsie 9y ago
The US was one of the last countries to get Chip + PIN, and even then they messed it up, and got chip + sign. 90% of the places I use a card in seem to be still swiping the cards, while we have had full chip + PIN implementation here (Irela
