- GitLab.
- Shared runner pipeline quota rolls over on the first of the month.
- I had a build that was queued for over half an hour on the shared runners, so I installed gitlab-runner on my laptop and registered it to my project.
- I chose docker as the executor, to make sure that all builds were isolated.
- sudo gitlab-runner start (or help or status or stop or whatever).
- The frontend then picked up the job and ran it on my machine.
- Idling, it uses ~0% cpu and ~1% mem. When actively running the test job, it’s still under a couple percent for each.
- If ever you want, just run `sudo gitlab-runner stop` and then start it at-will when you need a build or the shared runners are dead.
- You can follow along with the local execution with (you guessed it) `docker logs -f <container>`.
- The service persists over laptop close.
- Supercontest.
- Added stats plot for cover percentage as a function of line. No real correlation here, it seems.
- Added dticks to all plots for clarity.
- Fixed the raw data builder, which was counted line=0 toward the favorite/underdog totals, when that doesn’t make sense. For a pickem game, the assignment to fav/underdog is arbitrary, just to fit in the db tables.
- Improved the subheader look quite a bit by collapsing the help/legend buttons into a second navbar. https://gitlab.com/bmahlstedt-group/supercontest/issues/122.
- Big Bootie 16 released!! It came with a video mashup this time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9z8lSarGIuY.
- Cards.
- Ensured dignityhealth balance was 0. Ensured amex account was 0 and there were no pending/posted charges after cancellation.
- Changed my payment method from amex to amazon for the following recurring payments: verizon, uber, digital ocean, and 24 hour fitness.
- There are no rewards cards that offer a high return for bill paying, and it’s not a category in the rotating/choice programs. Best bet is cashback (I’m already at the highest, 2%) for stuff like verizon phone bill.
- My amazon is 2% for restaurants, gas stations, and drugstores (5% on amazon and 1% everything else).
- Received the new prime card. It beat the citi in arrival lol.
- FF moves.
- Went to the clippers practice.
- Companies should not have to provide benefits. Retirement matching, health insurance, gym memberships. These are all great things, and should be provisioned accordingly, but they have absolutely nothing to do with employment. There are other ways to incentivize, and the coupling does more harm than good.
- Legally, employers do not have to provide benefits, but they face higher taxes and penalties if they don’t.
- This is going to be an antiquated model in the future.
- Remember the turing test. A human asks a computer and another human questions behind a wall. If 50% (or more) of the interrogators guess incorrectly, the computer passes.
- Duplex is Google’s AI voice system. Almost able to pass the turing test (not quite 50 yet, but >0).
- Coffee is being linked to more than alzeimer’s deterrence; beneficial for cardiovascular, diabetes, cancer, more.
