Why is Docker Popular with Jenkins?

0 Comments

Question
You have noticed that Docker and Jenkins are regularly used together. Why is this?

Answer
1. The docker build command produces one artifact. Jenkins lends itself to well-defined tasks.

2. The logic and dependencies of the build can usually be completely contained in the Dockerfile (page 20 of Docker Up and Running). Simple lines of text can standardize many aspects of a given build (e.g.,

What is Cargo Cult Systems Engineering?

0 Comments

Question
What is cargo cult systems engineering?

Answer
Cargo cult systems engineering: vestige stanzas are included in a given configuration file for no functional benefit. Such irrelevant, or environment-inappropriate, stanzas exist either because the systems engineer was not given sufficient time to analyze every line of configuration or because the systems engineer failed to understand why the lines were included in the template (or working system) he/she copied from.

How Do You Write a Python Program to Test If Two Words Are Anagrams?

0 Comments

Problem scenario
You want a program to test if two words are anagramous with each other. You want the test to be case insensitive. How do you write a program that will interactively prompt the user for two different words and test if they are anagrams?

Solution
Use this Python 3 program (and it will interactively prompt you to enter two words):

word1 = input(“Enter one word: “).lower()
word2 = input(“Enter a second word: “).lower()

wL1 = list(word1)
wL2 = list(word2)

wL1.sort()
wL2.sort()

if (wL1 == wL2):
print(“The two programs are anagrams!”)
else:
print(“The two words are NOT anagrams!”)

It will not work with Python 2.
