Looks ready for actual use now, rather than tinkering with. Package management was my biggest gripe (URLs are literally what it used before). I would like to see TS as the first class citizen however, with JS being deprecated essentially.

That’s so evil, and given Enterprise’s cancellation mid season also: perfect

Excel mostly, csv wasn’t much of a standard and thus it’s horrible to work with. We can fix that with a parquet importer and exporter!

Friends don’t let friends use csv in 2024. Excel needs a good parquet importer and exporter today. Ya hearing Microsoft? Quit pissing around with recall and build something useful!

Nah, just back to Gopher and 5k baud. As an aside: Gemini is pretty awesome

What would you replace it with? There are lessons to be learnt from the web, but to “fix” it is much harder

This deserves an hour of reading. My first pass is a criticism too sadly. Addition is too trivial, and every example is pure - this needs a rubber meets the road example to really spell out the benefits.

Philip Wadler story for you though: he taught me first year at uni and his first lecture he rips open his shirt and proclaims himself “Lambda Man!” - Haskell was a fun first semester

ST IV obviously. The horror more the stretch imo, and that’s parts of khan, with parts of Undiscovered

Same thing was said about DS9. And Discovery. And Lower Decks. Star Trek has proven itself to be very adaptable from comedy, to horror, through action and drama - and that’s the films alone.

I suspect we may well see S31 shown for what all intelligence organisations are: corrupt, inept, and deeply hypocritical to civil society. Doesn’t that sound like Star Trek to you?

Pandas. Python’s only killer library imo

why do you recommend other tools over things which are tested and will last way longer than whatever the current fad is? The best part of Jenkins is it’s ubiquitousness - writing code that will run forever is not to be sniffed at

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.

Want to appear godlike in any org? Learn a tiny amount of groovy and read the pipelines pages - https://www.jenkins.io/doc/book/pipeline/

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.

Archer returns!

This is a fantastic upscale. Laserdisc obviously a great source too. Maybe one day we’ll see some releases…

So good to have trek back!

Can you license a comment in lemmy?

I wouldn’t touch ES with a barge pole. They wrote their own gravestone imo. Check out the quality of the docs today between the two, and the SQL support. commits != quality or features

ElasticSearch tried this and lost hard already. OpenSearch has already out paced it in features and performance and ES is effectively dead. Such a braindead exercise to see Redis follow suit
