It's only tedious if the build is not automated, static site generators work pretty well with continuous delivery practices though.

Funny, I downloaded about 700GB of password dumps last week trying to figure out how someone got one of my passwords (no big deal, they never managed to access anything) Maybe it was this one.

BA has "golden tickets" they give to the top tier rewards customers, which you can then hand to any member of BA staff that has made a positive impact for you. They don't get cash for it, but I understand it goes in their fil

From their website [0] they seem to make city lifestyle apps. Apps for public transport in Spanish cities, a price comparison app for utilities, a pollution level map. I would guess they supplement their own app income with contracting. [0]

RIP Jools, thanks for your service. It also had a great intro with goofy pics of the dev team (who the soldiers were named after) in military attire.

Is it a legal requirement to your partners in govt / LE that you only hire US candidates or just timezone issues? I was introduced to Thorn by Ori Eisen when I worked for him (one of the best CTOs I've ever met) and was very impre

This article and research is talking about third party advertising, where an ad network is used to serve ads on third party sites (greatly simplified, as in reality there could be lots of other players in the chain) What you're talking

I was obsessed with that game as a child, if it was remade it would have quick-save and be ruined :) That and Future Wars are probably the first sci-fi games I played in the Amiga 500.

Fraud is priced in on the industry. Advertisers assume a percentage of their money is going to be wasted on bots, networks (like Google) assume they will misidentify a percentage of impressions and have to reconciliate the numbers, but also

I used to have a collection of downloaded user databases in an encrypted partition in my iPod back when I was in high school. Some were actually pretty high profile sites (probably top 100 at the time) but I was worried they'd come aft

It's the perception, I've personally been passed on for jobs I would have been amazing at because I don't have any FAANG experience. Startup founders looking for VC money want to be able to add "Team of ex-Google, ...&qu

They claim to have raised $21m (from Videocon and AEC partners) in Feb 2012, but by the end of year the founder(s) claim to have stepped down with $100m payout (according to engineer.ai) while the company carried on and died in 2014. I'

Not to detract from your work there, but there's actually some great research papers about how Botguard itself is easy to bypass and google cookies provide most of the heavy lifting when it comes to bot detection. I've snooped aro

It's really not a problem to handle any number of users on a single domain, you can load balance, serve from different geos, etc. Case in point: google.com The real reason they don't do this is because it's a more involved se

It's interesting that you pat yourself on the back about it, I think the whole Triplebyte interview process is poorly thought out, including your email comms. I did your online code quiz and got sent an email about doing a 2-hour techn

If that's a screenshot of your actual pricing page, you should not highlight the $2 per video option in green, it makes it more likely people will choose it. I don't even understand why have a $2 per video option, it doesn't
