What I find particularly jarring about tech interviews is that they often don't adapt to the actual role you're interviewing for. I moved from engineering to management over 5 years ago now and still in interviews for positions li

What are you talking about? You can’t say that without providing proof, the commit history in his post does not show anything of the sort and the original project is gone from github

Poor form by the repl.it CEO here, bullying a junior employee to take their weekend project down. If your product is threatened by this, it's probably not a very good product. I've used Repl.it multiplayer to interview candidates

I think the question is what the reason is for flagging these links as malicious, and is there a rule that automatically whitelists Google-owned domains from this blacklisting? Since I imagine what happened is that some heuristics identifie

As a data professional, I've got to admit I'm having difficulty differentiating your service from any of a number of other similar offerings like stitch or supermetrics. You say you charge metered pricing but this information seem

Rome, which is founded by the creator of Babel, just raised $4.5m - so either the current maintainers of Babel are not doing a good job fundraising or their work is not considered as interesting as these guys who are creating a new unified

I have two properties, still live at home with mum since I'm paying her rent and both my properties sit empty while the bank keeps taking money from a fully paid off mortgage. Just like real life!

This can't possibly be correct. You can send BTC to anyone without their consent. So you're saying that if he was to use a mixer to clean his bitcoins, the mixer would then interleave his transactions with other random ones and he

Also, it seems they haven't caught the scammer, and he probably keeps most of his assets in crypto that can't be seized. All they'll be able to get is whatever fiat he had under his name.

It's also an extremely common word in Spanish meaning "align" – which in the context of their brand can be taken to mean to align oneself to a set of beliefs.

Actually not as easy as you’d think to do that, criminals don’t upload malware payloads to their own servers, they use hacked websites (old Wordpress installs, etc) to spread the binaries. Could they do this? Sure, but it would be a lot mo

Turning off javascript actually makes your browser more unique, in most cases, as it's so rare for people to do.

Yeah I agree it works, I have experienced the same and been on the good side of it in orgs where I got promotions faster than the remote folks. I'm currently working mostly remote and even though I am in the senior management team in t

I meant it more like "the period after covid started" :) We are allowed to go to the office in the UK as long as it's been made "covid safe", even though the government recommendation is to WFH wherever possible, it

I've noticed this as well in the post-covid office life, the leadership team keeps going into work so being in the office is a good way to get noticed and work closer to them.

Appreciate the response on this, I think the wording definitely came across wrong and, particularly in an article related to the economics of this side project, it feels disingenuous as a market rate developer would have eaten up the revenu

This is really cool, I discovered hackthebox last year and love the gamified nature of it and how well it resonates with younger people. I got to the top 10 in HTB for a while and was pretty surprised that I was probably one of the oldest p

In reality, what happens is lots of council services (including police) use twitter as the main real-time source of information for citizens. Should they use an alternative platform? probably not, because twitter is the biggest and best kno

What is the alternative here? Should Enfield spend tax payer money creating an alternative tool to show banner ad cross-promotions and re-training their teams? Where do you stop? Is Google Analytics evil too? What about Twitter feeds?

I'm not a Google fan by any means, but DFP is the #1 ad server in the world and an industry standard, and I definitely don't think they would use DFP data to populate GDN segments because it would be a privacy nightmare. You have

None of those really stand out as being problematic. Google Analytics, Hotjar are measurement tools. CSE is google's custom search endpoint, stats.*.doubleclick.net is a doubleclick for publishers endpoint (Google's ad server) and

When you actually look at the sites, it's clear Brave hasn't done their homework or don't really understand the online ad ecosystem. For example, Enfield council ( enfield.gov.uk ) is using Google's ad server (DFP) set t

The sceptical in me feels like it's no coincidence that an article about how someone makes a lot of money with their blog has links to their "affiliate marketing course for bloggers" paid course high up in the content. And of

This isn't really a webpack competitor, it's the same functionality of webpack (production-ready js builds) but leveraging modern web standards (ESM) It's almost like comparing jQuery to web components, maybe you can achieve

I think kwantam's point is that you are merely storing a hash of the resulting file, it proves it existed at a certain datetime, but it doesn't guarantee it wasn't modified (which TLSNotary does, albeit with a trusted third p

I think your niche skillset is probably the main reason, I doubt many FAANG people at an engineer level in the UK (especially outside London) make anywhere close to that. I've been getting offers on that range in London for a few years

Hey this is great, I made something ad-hoc to do this for a client and might borrow some ideas to improve it. I heavily leaned on AWS Textract for the bounding boxes though, as the kind of data I had to extract didn't have very well de
