Re:What Working At Stripe Has Been Like
on Thursday October 08, 2020 @05:54PM (#24724331)
I'm surprised to hear so many in this thread had negative experiences. My experience as an applicant at Stripe was stellar from beginning to end, probably the most professional and well-executed interview process I've seen in my career. I can say that without bias because I ended up choosing another offer, but it was really difficult to turn down Stripe's after that.

Just the bikes and scooters? Not, say, the idle cars left on streets all over town?

And why do you think that is? I've seen too many situations where the reward for being more productive than lesser-clued co-workers was a greater share of grief and stress.
Re:Easy Automated Snapshot-Style Backups with Linux and Rsync

I haven't pushed it very hard. I'm only using it for personal stuff.
That said, it's pretty good at DWIM for a command-line tool. It works as advertised and doesn't require any fiddling once you have it set up.
cons: command line syntax is verbose. Enough so that there's a wrapper for it (http://duply.net/) which I also recommend. Access to backups isn't as straightforward as with forest-of-hardlinks approaches.
I'd be interested to hear how it holds up to production use.

http://www.dirvish.org/ and http://rsnapshot.org/ are both wrappers around rsync that do exactly this. Eventually, though, I switched to http://duplicity.nongnu.org/ for the network backends and the encryption.

what are you all talking about? I've been using 64-bit firefox 3.0 (debian's iceweasel) with 64-bit flash (ever since 64-bit flash became available), no nspluginwrapper, and I have no firefox stability troubles at all.
I restart FF every week or so to keep its memory usage down. I typically have 30-50 tabs open at a time. Is it because I use flashblock?
