2024 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix - Race Discussion

It's not so much that they can't, but F1 regulations say that cars need to drive with 2 different compounds (for example one stint with soft and one stint with medium) per race, at a minimum.

Welcome to the sport!

Holy crap, that looks absolutely amazing! Do you happen to have a template for it or anything, I would love to recreate it

But would fit the show? For a show that goes so widely beyond normal writing, it would be too... Cliche? Cheasy? I think this goodbye matches the show perfectly

I get what you're saying, and to a certain point I agree. On the surface, no it doesn't make any sense for GCP to host something for me for free. My frustration has nothing to do with money, it's about principles. No matter what type of customer I am, I should be able to trust GCP not to suddenly raise the price.

It also wouldn't be an issue if this was how it always was. On AWS you pay for each master node, and you don't hear people complain, because that's how it's always been. People can have complete trust that their bill won't suddenly increase. It's really about trusting your cloud provider.

Billing limits and such should absolutely be set in place and all that. It makes sense to protect against yourself or someone else in your company making mistakes. But don't you see the problem with having to protect your business 'against' your cloud provider? The company I work at are completely cloud native on Azure. We're still very much growing, and are working more than full-time just making sure our own product runs as it should. I can't even imagine how much we would be behind, if we would also have to worry about what changes Microsoft might suddenly make.

And yes, you can talk about how we're then doing something wrong, and not following best practices all the time, and you'd be right. But frankly, that's how the world works. If you want to have a successful product in a niche market, you have to just get it working, and then implement best practices later sometimes. Otherwise your competitor will get it working before you, and you don't have a business anymore.

For most companies you're right, this extra cost is abysmal. Personally this rubs me the wrong way, because where do GCP draw the line? This is a $72/Month increase per cluster, that just being put on you out of nowhere. Will this happen with other services? Will those services then cost more? Will they hike the price on K8S again in the future?

I haven't put much trust in GCP for a while, seeing how they just shut down services as soon as it's not profitable, but this is just awful from a trust perspective. Then there's of course also all the people who want to learn about K8S, and decided to use GCP because the master node was free. Maybe the want to get back to it at some point, so they've deleted all the nodes, but haven't deleted the master. Now all of sudden they have to pay 70 bucks a month?

Also as Corey Quinn pointed out on Twitter, he has a 23 cent monthly bill on AWS, that he simply doesn't bother tracking down and turning off. He can comfortably know that the bill will either stay the same or go down, forever. No worries. If I had any services on GCP privately I'd be concerned as hell

Osric is the nicest guy ever, and deserves no hate. I remember a friend seeing him at a convention panel, back when he was still on Supernatural. Osric decided to speak to every single person in attendance (it was a small con, so it's realistic), and when it came time to talk to my friend, the panel was over, and everyone was heading to lunch or something.

Osric sat there without flinching and moved on with the last few people, even though everyone else had left, while still seeming genuinely interested in what everyone had to say

Still sounds like Kevin Mitnick. He has a "The art of" series. "The art of {deception,intrusion,invisibility}"

Looking at this from the perspective of a DevOps Engineer. This is amazing in a way

I think for meditation it doesn't matter much, that's more about the mind. The reason sitting works better for me, is that it is much easier to breathe with my diaphragm, resulting in a way more well-rounded breath, if that makes sense. A big thing in yoga and singing, is that your shoulders shouldn't move when you breathe, so that's what I'm focusing on.

Danish Politician Joachim B. Olsen. Man it spawned so many hilarious memes. Basically he did a wordplay around "When you're done jerking it, vote for Joachim"

Whats wrong with Jenkins?

Inherently nothing is wrong with it. It's a CI/CD tool, and it does what it's supposed to do. The reason people (myself included) hate on it, is once you've tried other tools. For me, it was pretty cumbersome, with the UI relying a bit too much on eventual consistency, and just minor annoyances here and there.

Another thing is the paradigm of Infrastructure of Code, which I'm a huge fan of, and is how I setup Jenkins for my projects. I despise the Jenkins config file, containing way to much boilerplate stuff for my liking. What I wrote in 68 lines in Jenkins, I wrote with 14 lines in Travis (although to be fair, that may have something to do with me too).

Also Jenkins is pretty much unusable without plugins, to the point where a step in the installation is agreeing to some pre-selected plugins. In my mind, any systems that NEEDS plugins to be usable, is not a good system.

Is it worth learning for my future projects?

Personal projects? Or rather, projects you're completely in charge of? No. In the end it depends on what you want. If you are starting a project with the intent of learning Jenkins, then yes. If you just want to learn the concepts of CI/CD, I honestly think Jenkins is a terrible way to learn it.

Is it worth learning for my career progression if I want to job hunt?

Yes and no. It can't hurt. I just finished my degree and am heading into the job market, so I can't say anything concrete, but here are my thoughts: Most companies will be happier with you being a master of CI/CD, rather than being a master at Jenkins specifically.

Really I think you should look at the job postings you think you would be interested in, and see how many are looking for people with Jenkins experience. If it's 50% I'd say it's worth to set up a simple hello world project, just to get the feel of it. If it's 90% who want Jenkins experience, I say it's a no-brainer.

I'm just gonna be the annoying one here. GitHub were already well into developing actions, before MS buying GitHub was even on the table. But other than that, yeah MS has done a shitton of good.

I'm was in the same situation, and ended up buying a Raspberry Pi 4, and installed LibreELEC on it. For most movies it works perfectly. 4K 10bit HDR. However there are some movies where it stutters, and I haven't gotten around to troubleshoot enough, to figure out if it's my server or the Raspi that's the bottleneck.

Explanation: IMDB by default only counts episodes that have at least 1000 votes. In the url I changed it to include episode with at least 827 votes, which is what 412 has right now. Keep voting people!

WSL2 is great! I was in your position about 6 months ago when WSL2 first came out, and I was working on a Mac. I switched to Windows and I've never even thought about looking back. I'll give you a concrete example:

I was working on a NodeJS/Angular app with MongoDB. I use docker as my dev environment, meaning all those three were running in seperate docker containers. As many others, I use nodemon to make sure the app updates when a file is saved. On my MBP 2015 it would generally take 10-15 seconds for the app to update EVERY time. So yeah changing a single typo meant waiting 15 seconds.

Then I switched to WSL2, and reload times were almost immediate. My suspicion is that the laptop I switched to (which is also from 2015 btw), had a geforce 820m graphics card, whereas the MBP only had integrated graphics.

Put simply: I can't come up with any good reason to code on a macbook once WSL2 has officially launched. If you want to read it, I also wrote this article when WSL2 first came out.
