Have.... you actually played d1 or d2??
Where? I've consistently had 300+ tabs open and have never "gotten an infinity" or whatever you mean by this.

Streamlabs (LOGI) | Looking for: Backend (web) sofware engineer (and other roles) | REMOTE/vacouver/sf | Visa for CAN

Streamlabs is looking for strong back end web development experience. Preferred is PHP / JS experience, but any languages + quick learning is perfect

This is only a brief descripton, more info can be found: GIST: https://gist.github.com/georgekurdin/042691b608b8e3f8c83ae32... | Angel List: https://angel.co/company/stream-labs/jobs

- What we do today: make tools for live streamers who broadcast on Twitch/YouTube/Facebook/Tiktok + expanding to new content verticals (https://oslo.io https://wlo.link https://melonapp.com)

- Mission: empower creators to do more + monetize and engage an audience

- Results: used by 70% of Twitch streamers; paid out ~$1 Billion to creators since inception. Launched many things - some worked and many didn't, but we learned a lot and we are still building.

- Details on roles, culture, stack and more https://gist.github.com/georgekurdin/042691b608b8e3f8c83ae32...

- Process: take home problem -> chat with hiring manager -> google hangouts / zoom (or melon :) ) with team -> offer (we will move quickly and will do our best to not waste your time). There is a take-home problem for all available roles

- Visa: will sponsor for Canada if there is a right mutual fit

- Remote: Absolutely! Offices will be coming back at some point as well, if that is preferred.

- Contact: You can either apply on Angel list (above) or shoot us at [email protected] with questions (all welcome) or your application!

haha. ive seen name formatting issues in tons of games as well. paired with the fact that this was before 2 factor was available and people had million dollar skin inventories probably made their support team (or lack there of's) week terrible. im pretty sure you can still download any game from steams servers but now they come encrypted unless you actually own them (i could be completely wrong on this)
Lol... just a few years ago (5ish?) steam had an exploit where you could click lost password, enter the targets username, and immediately set a new password for that account with no confirmation whatsoever.

Awesome, thank you for this. will check them out.

unfortunately after doing research into all of those, their terms of service allows them to charge more or cancel your account after what they consider to be 'excessive' bandwidth usage, so i wouldnt consider them truly unlimited or unmetered. It doesnt seem virmach offers unmetered anymore, but I may reach out to them
I can't agree with you more. No one is aware of anyone around them on the sidewalks of San Francisco. I've seen people pacing back and forth on the phone on the corner of a busy foot intersection not caring that they are a nuicense. Most others are buried in their phone and don't notice you until they see your feet. God forbid it's raining and everyone's walking around with beach umbrellas that take up the entire sidewalk and don't give a shit who's eyes they poke out. huff

Re:Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon review on Monday August 07, 2017 @04:57PM (#14951202)
just my 2 cents after owning one for quite some time now. Avoid.

Right after the warranty ended the screen has constant flickering and will sometimes turn to straight up static for 5 minutes at a time. moving the laptop hinge doesnt affect this at all which leads me to believe its a motherboard issue rather than a screen or ribbon cable issue. Besides that, the build quality is actually pretty terrible for what one of these costs and the hinge is flimsy and wobbles around when you move the laptop.

Re:Race conditions on the web on Wednesday July 13, 2016 @04:16PM (#12089317)
You'd be surprised. handling over a million dollars in visible, actual transactions daily makes you prime target for hackers looking to exploit these kind of race conditions.

Don't be ignorant.

Re:Race conditions on the web on Tuesday July 12, 2016 @10:00PM (#12083495)
It always amazes me when developers making crucial transaction systems don't know about or implement some form of locking. I personally use a cluster of consul servers for distributed locking ( http://consul.io by hashicorp ) although I don't use the rest of consuls features I'd sure like to learn how someday :)

Well he did refer to most shared hosting which do usually come with php already installed, and you may not have sudo. installing composer is simply curling a phar file, or you could even bundle it into your repository if you want to, im really not sure what to tell you.

any kid with a data planned cell phone and minor abilities in computers has a mobile hotspot.
This has been available since the feature was implemented into facebook.
This is pretty exactly what I use fabfiles for.

I would just like to point out that if you would have named the site BAJS, it would have meant poop in Swedish.
