I'll give it a shot, but I am the entire IT/DevOps/pe department for my company. It boils down to one thing: hosted so I don't have to do shite. Along with the fact that we use bitbucket, so peeps are already logged on,

Those things don't provide location information. On top of that, getting location info with the accuracy needed in cases like this is extremely hard.

FB can't track you because the app cannot be deleted, they can track you because other apps, not even other FB apps, voluntary send FB info about you. But this doesn't match the narrative that FB is bad, so the Murdoch empire will

Sorry for the late reply. Campaign financing is something that I agree with, if I can afford to help this candidate reach more voters, why not? There is nothing wrong in that. There is another, different discussion about what this money sho

Afaik, fb employs less than 20 people to take care of the monorepo.

> With 500 it becomes nearly impossible to do anything involving a build. Both FB and Google have more than 500 devs and are using a monorepo.

I'm sorry, but this is the most stupid thing you could have said. The entire human civilization is based on following some "clear" rules, commonly known as law. If you disagree with the law, you fight to change it and in this

Probably I should have been more explicit, I find the concept of siestas so damn nice. I've spent about 6 months functioning like that and that was the happiest part of my life so far. Start day at 6am, do some work, get a rest at noon

Well, FB did that at least 6+ months ago when I got trained for interviewing. As for the questions asked, there is an internal tool with various questions you are supposed to ask, with info about what signals you can get, how to extract mor

The only game, that I have played, that made me cry is the first Bioshock. Somehow I managed to not kill any of the girls (probably because I didn't catch the benefits) and the ending was so rewarding. I don't think I can achieve

Thanks, forgot about that, but it doesn't imply he didn't sign such an agreement. It's been vehiculated that in Nederland, a third party photographer has to sign an agreement, that states the photographer retains the copyrigh

I don't think the op actually talks about games, but about interactive stories. In my mind, a game needs a challenge, the story is almost secondary. Take the Fallout games, the stories are there, but without battling the monsters, you

I find it terrifying how easy it is to influence people, basically, half the internet jumped to the conclusion that the band is in the wrong based on a single article, depicting only one point of view, witch conveniently leaves out the fact

It was mostly a joke, back in the day when I started using freebsd, it seemed that the answer for 'how do I do such-and-such with FreeBSD' was, most of the time, 'cd /usr/src && make such-and-such'

That's a very simplistic view on the issue. Most businesses do not have a constant workload 24/7, which means the ability to scale up and down will save more money than reducing the overhead of not running directly on metal. There

You would be amazed about how little comments does an article about FB doing "this tech thing" attracts, vs a generic FB is bad. There are terribly few people that can comment on a tech subject, but everyone and their dog has an o
