The jack connector has a really long history, back to the telegraph. The simplicity, the dependability, the interoperability, the lack of it falling out, or needing magnets, or who knows means it will be very tough to replace. And it has evolved too, it used to be a ball end, they have switched sizes, added channels
When does systemd stop? Linux without it is increasingly looking unlikely in the future. Are we not worried about it being a single point of failure and attack vector?
This isn't a moan about the unix philosophy btw, but a genuine curiosity about how we split responsibilities in todays linux environment.
Interesting to hear flatter leadership leading to a culture of being heard and improved morale. I'd suspect with greater autonomy and success too. This will all be enabled by greater dissemination of intelligence I'd bet, and increased training. If this is a prelude to something bigger, there are some fantastic lessons to be learnt
You know what's a hard pill to swallow for Jenkins haters? It's likely older than your career, and is going to outlive you too. Like bash, and C, and gnu-utils.
Jenkins is battle tested, Jenkins is likely already in your org, and replacing it for anything else is almost not worth the time from a strategic perspective. But it isn't perfect, testing it in particular - a pain in the ass
So here's the best tip: skinny Jenkinsfiles. When you use a sh: have it run a Makefile command, or your build tool command. Keep them short single line things. Don't rely on massive ENVs. Dockerfiles for most stuff. Dynamic container agents in the cloud are actually good. Learn to use archiveArtifact, integrate with test report plugins. Learn about parallel pipelines.
Yes, but the stamps have mostly been bought from the post office, who get it from royal mail. Given how few people even bother with stamps these days, what's more likely? An organised gang infiltrating supply chains with undetectable forgeries, or an IT malfunction that means the codes are not being registered properly in the first place? I know where my money is!
Oh a couple. Were much more common in previous editions.
First one I played, a swarm of bats comes out a cupboard I iust opened in a haunted house module. I'm playing the wizard who could burning hands and save us all in an instant. But we'd been plagued by a few illusions, and so I attempt disbelieve it instead. Two rounds later: we're all dead and the party blames me.
First one I ran: smaller party of three in Dark Sun. Just a few halflings to try and nick their stuff, this one should be easy right? Halfings use poison on Athas. Paralysed one, critted the other, last one frantically trying to unparalyze the other party member, and so I basically have to as a DM or this isn't Dark Sun; I swarm him and tie him up. They then proceed to roast him alive, and eat him. Lesson learned: don't mess with anything on Athas, lost more than a few parties on that planet
Too long a survey, and the tiny communities I mod I've had to take zero actions. But don't do it! Java is a joke of a language, and Jerboa is a fantastic client
LXQT wants a word
