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].

This is a weird coincidence, but it made me chuckle nonetheless.

(CardConnect) Bolt[0] is a thing, which seems to have launched in 2017[1].

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.

> 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...

Yet, MongoDB seems to maintain a healthy, symbiotic relationship with AWS [1][2][3].

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.

That's a glorious Ling ASCII banner. But the video referenced in the commented YouTubePlayer widget is a first for me, and absolutely hilarious: [Drugos (Despacito) LINGsCARS website promo][1]

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

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...
