Pagerduty feels like it used to be the dominant player especially for small teams but I found it surprisingly expensive and cumbersome to use for a small team and Ops-genie is EOL, splunk on-call feels weird to use w/o splunk.

Specifically for mid to senior level roles, I heard these type of interviews are less common and wanted to check before spending a bunch of time grinding problemsets.
Phoenix live view (anything on BEAM really) maps each ws to a BEAM process so scaling to 10000+ connections is both cheap and built-in

I can't understand their reasoning. Why would they need an unlimited price cap on gTLDs? I can't imagine their expenses are that high and they're a non-profit so whats the incentive to increase gTLD pricing?

how were you two connected? I'd love to participate in something like that.
Reader mode works for me in Firefox. What browser are you using?

As the title says, my startup that is working on closing its first major deal. Part of the contract specifies we need to perform a yearly pentest.Does anyone have a recommendation for a good, affordable pentest firm? I'd also appreciate any advice on hiring pentest firms in general.

According to their website, Latacora (https://latacora.com/) is security consultancy for startups. I work for a startup and we are trying to hire a security consultant to help secure enterprise deals but also ensure we aren't easily hacked. Does anyone have a Latacora testimonial or other security consultant recommendations they are willing to share?
How can they be orthogonal when eventually you need open software of some kind to make a verification?
If the software I use to verify the closed source software is closed, then I will need another piece of software to verify that the verify-ing software is what it says it is and so on until we reach a piece of software that I can verify with my own eyes (or a friend has verified with their eyes).
We all eventually have to place our trust somewhere but we shouldn't have to agree with where you decided to trust.
Its also used to evade censorship...Lots of other ways to combat malware.
Afaik it hasn't been officially announced but they are shutting down support. :/

if you program you have some concept of what memory is. I found the review of basic terms helpful in understanding the common JS leaks. YMMV
OTOH it will make it way easier to auto-mute TV ads :p

Some people have pointed out that a lot of this doesn't work on iOS. I'd like to add that it also doesn't work for Firefox on Android. Instead you are re-directed to the App Store and get a pretty strange fallback page [1] if you don't use the App Store.

Interesting idea, especially if the site comes with the support of actual Hollywood studios. Anyone have more information about this? Website is pretty sparse...
I'll give it a shot. Its about a difference in expectations for success, specifically how Google's differ from its users.
So what obligation does Google have to keep the service alive? None. But the spirit and marketing of the site was to connect and create a community of people helping each other. And Google is going to destroy that community for (probably very reasonable) business reasons.
I guess I would like Google to give a warning that if a site doesn't reach some n DAUs then the service won't take off. It might give some people pause before putting a lot of work into something they ultimately don't have control over.
I feel users have a legitimate cause to be upset when a site is closed -- this was a real community that because Google couldn't make enough money off them, is gone.
This is really sad. I'm not from the Mission but I used to play pickup here all the time. Never had any problems. I hope they all just shut up and played together.
Yeah this is exactly it! Thanks!
Venmo Receipt bill splitter: Mobile app that analyzes a picture of a receipt using tesseract or something similar and allows the user to charge Venmo friends for certain items on the receipt.
I would pay for this because then I wouldn't have to create a Venmo payment for each user.
Will you still go to East Coast Hackathons (PennApps, HackPrinceton etc)? I enjoyed your demos and appreciated your help.
