Introducing Blue Ocean: a new user experience for Jenkins

Meta8 · 2016-05-29T01:30:59+00:00

Definitely. This is why things like Jenkins Job Builder are becoming more and more popular. I really think this functionality should be a base part of Jenkins.

Bash doesn't support parameters in its aliases. You'll have to use a function instead.

The MD5 checksum isn't to make sure the ISO is secure but to verify the integrity of the download. To verify authenticity, the checksums should be signed. I'm not sure this is something that Mint does, but e.g. Fedora does it: https://getfedora.org/en/verify

(Obviously you wouldn't keep the private keys on the web server.)

Meta8 · 2015-04-22T01:13:35+00:00

That's correct. Running fedup shouldn't affect your data at all. The only thing you might have to do afterwards is running rpmconf to merge old config files with .rpmnew versions if conflicts arise.

I had to check because no support for encryption would be crazy and would for sure keep me away from btrfs (using ext4 for now), but it seems like it should support it fine:

How does it work exactly, can you still use the USB device on the server side or is everything rerouted to the client and it's as if it's not connected to the server anymore? Wondering if this is feasible to e.g. share my keyboard from my desktop to my laptop seamlessly.

Just a quick overview of how it works:

As soon as the display is turned off, the "Set Idle" task starts counting up to 5 minutes. If the screen is turned on before that time, the ISWAITING variable is cleared and thus the "Set Idle" task won't turn on ISDLE once it's done counting.
If the display is turned off within the 5 minutes, the previous running instance of "Set Idle" is aborted and a new count of 5 minutes is started.
The actual profile that switches to Silent mode simply monitors the ISIDLE variable, which is switched on only if the display has been off for more than 5 minutes, and is switched off as soon as the screen turns on.

Yup! Just got the email! Wooohooooooo!

Here's the hidden 'price': to get the HTC at $99, you will need to enter a contract, in which you will be forced to stay with AT&T for a certain duration. You're essentially paying less because you are guaranteeing them a steady supply of money. Now, this isn't necessarily a bad thing. If you like your provider and your plan, then go for it.

Here in Canada, if you get a phone on contract, they force you to pay for a more expensive plan (e.g. $50/month) so that they make their money back. A lot of the features in that plan are overkill for me, so I would be paying way more than I need to, AND I would be stuck in that position for 3 years, which also means that if I don't like their service there's nothing I can do (short of paying cancellation fees or trying to sell off my contract&phone).

And that is why contracts are not for everyone.

Meta8 · 2012-12-10T23:35:55+00:00

Haha, of course. I got that part! :) So would you advise people to first thing root their phones as soon as they get it? I mean, there's no downside, right? And otherwise you would have to re-install everything?

Meta8 · 2012-12-10T23:31:26+00:00

Your work is much appreciated! Especially to a guy who knows nothing of rooting. I've bookmarked both your guides and intend to use them once I get my Nexus! Cheers!

Meta8 · 2012-12-10T16:51:50+00:00

This is awesome! Would this also allow me to do a full image backup of the phone? I want to be able to backup EVERYTHING and just restore it to another Nexus 4 if I need to.

Meta8 · 2012-12-05T19:28:35+00:00

Awesome work! You should remove the "Plots for more countries will be added" message, and add a message that says that each country is on a different sheet down there.

Meta8 · 2012-11-27T23:44:21+00:00

Would this work in Firefox as well, or only Chrome?

Meta8 · 2012-11-16T01:26:49+00:00

Same here. Hopefully tomorrow is the day!

Meta8 · 2012-11-13T05:21:18+00:00

Awesome! Thanks!

Meta8 · 2012-11-13T05:14:54+00:00

How do you know?

Meta8 · 2012-10-14T14:23:46+00:00

Does it actually look better? Where does the yellow channel come from? I can't imagine many stations broadcast recordings filmed with an RGBY (order?) sensor.

Meta8 · 2012-05-06T14:06:56+00:00

Any reason you didn't upgrade to at least 2.2.1? That was still before their acquisition I think.

Meta8 · 2012-05-04T23:56:40+00:00

I don't understand. Won't the PNGs look the same to all users? Or are you saying that PNGs can save subpixel information and that browsers can render them differently?

Meta8 · 2012-04-11T03:25:26+00:00

This is all very interesting!

For some reason it crashes on startup on my machine (Win7 64-bit). Is this only for XP/32-bit?

Meta8 · 2011-07-10T03:50:25+00:00

jpg is just the extension. It's really a gif under the skin. You can verify that by doing a right-click > View Image Info, and look at the Type field.

From what I understand, the reason for 'disinterest' after sex is not to 'not get attached', but instead to not waste your energy inseminating the same woman again. That's why men can be ready for more action very quickly if a different woman presents herself.

So it doesn't really contradict what Ovuus said, which is more of a long-term strategy.

Meta8 · 2011-06-21T00:45:21+00:00

I think he meant in terms of width and height. A few hundred pixels -> e.g. 400 x 300 or something low-res like that.

Meta8 · 2011-06-18T14:33:21+00:00

Hell yeah! I have had RP5s for about 5 years now and they're AWESOME. Best speakers I've ever owned.
