I helped one of my clients swap from their "bespoke" solution (dodgy bash scripts and an S3 bucket) to Snapshooter which made our lives a lot easier. Looking at Backupsheep's website it seems like it is very similar to Snapsh

Call me cynical but for those prices I don't expect amazing service or stability, so I don't run any production stuff there.

>Such biscuits are still popular with Afrikaaners in South Africa. "Rusks", if anyone is curious. You dunk them into your tea or coffee to soften them before eating.

Well, I guess they now know how effective the cannon is... This is going to be one hell of a rough couple of days for the technician(s) involved.

That's 4chan. The other big site is 8chan, where users can create their own boards and there are less rules, which makes it much harder to moderate. Then you also have all of the smaller chans which tend to get spammed by bots posting

Chans allow anonymous users to upload images and historically this leads into a lot of illegal content, especially stuff like child porn, to be uploaded unless you have strict moderation.

zimpenfish mentioned that there are 2500 people working at the company so 160 hiring managers makes much more sense now.

by chillidoor 8y ago
Ah, 2500. That's ~15 people per hiring manager so you're right, that does seem more reasonable.

>Approximately 160 people, all the hiring managers at Riot at the time Just how big was Riot Games that they need 160 hiring managers? The only big game they made was League of Legends, right?

And before. Most people were still on dialup until I think maybe 2010-2012. Wireless ISPs became really popular during all of this because they could offer better service, better uptime, better speeds, and QOS for things like VOIP. Bandwidt

When I started my IT career in South Africa the internet situation was pretty horrendous. ADSL/Broadband speeds were 384kbps and you had hard bandwidth caps of ~$7 per gigabyte of traffic on top of your line rental. Companies and unive

Here in the UK STs get hit with the higher tax brackets simply because they are not treated as a separate company, so all money earned is income. It's stupid to do things as a ST, unless you only take cash as then it's easier to l

I wonder how big the contractor market is in France. I mean, contractors are easy to hire and fire so it could be a good compromise (at least in the short term).

I seriously doubt it. There are just too many hurdles to get over. Even trying to get staff from another EU office to come and work is a pain the arse, as my previous place of work discovered when they tried to get one of the devs to move t

Shit happens. Sometimes it's an oversight, sometimes it's accidental, sometimes it's from ignorance to the dangers. Sometimes it's even a honeypot, like this time :)

On a side note, I'm amazed Digg is still alive.

GameMaker Studio used to do something like that. You started off with a specific version and then could buy plugins for additional features like compiling for consoles, Linux, etc. I haven't looked at the GMS2 pricing model so I'm

Oh wow, this is a really cool release. I was hoping that Python 3 would be a built-in feature but I'm not complaining :)
