SSDs have become fast, except in the cloud 2 years ago

That is more than likely a team-specific term being used outside of its context. FYI, the only place where you will find the term <droplet> used, is in the public-facing AWS EC2 API documentation under InstanceTopology:networkNodeSet[^1]. Even that reference seems like a slip of the tongue, but the GP did mention working on the Nitro team, which makes sense when you look at the EC2 instance topology[^2].

AWS down again? 5 years ago

Every time I see a situation like this one, I tell myself: "What a wonderful opportunity to go outside and smell the roses".

P.S. A comment from an exhausted engineer to another.

P.S.S. Seriously, I need to get out of the house more.

Amazon Fake Reviews Scam Exposed in Data Breach 5 years ago

These Amazon vendors send to reviewers a list of items/products for which they would like a 5-star review. The people providing the ‘fake reviews’ will then buy the products, leaving a 5-star review on Amazon a few days after receiving their merchandise.

Once the Amazon vendor confirms all reviews have been completed, the reviewer will receive a refund through PayPal, keeping the items they bought for free as a form of payment.

They are all confirmed...

Tell HN: Triplebyte reverses, emails apology 6 years ago

I created an account back in mid-2018, when I wasn't exactly happy with my employment situation. I didn't use Triplebyte to interview anywhere, but I left my personal information on the site. Fast forward to the present, I now work for a different company where I am actually happy. The post on Friday didn't sit right with me, and neither did the obtuse response by the CEO. I wouldn't like my profile to suddenly show up in a job hunting site.

But, the damage is done. I ended up deleting my account over the weekend. The process to do so wasn't as convoluted as some said it would be, it only took 1 hour.

P.S. I didn't receive the apology letter, so at least I got taken off the mailing list.

A Git query language 10 years ago

Well, if you feel so strongly about it, why not build your own tool to support the "preferred" query language?

Hack your way through Stripe's Capture the Flag 14 years ago

Same here, but I'm stuck on level 3 though...maybe my strategy is wrong. I am able to execute the function run from /levels/level03 with the following command:

  cat /home/level04/.password
But I'm still getting access denied. I thought that would have done it for sure. The program runs under the following credentials:
  uid=1003(level03) gid=1004(level03) groups=1001(chroot),1004(level03)
Which is kind of weird since /levels/level03 has a setuid of level04. It could be gdb...
