I still am a bit of a 3dfx fanboy. Ended up emailing 3dfx at one stage and got sent a load of posters and case stickers (remember those?). I had a Voodoo Banshee which was a fairly decent card (not quite as good as a…
I always say if I can reproduce a bug, I can fix it. Hardest thing is reproducing a bug reliably.
Not too many even in London really.
+1 for formal methods in Z. I've still got the book at my dad's house. My first year of uni also had a pretty evil pure maths course which was worth a high percentage of the year. Not much fun.
Have used this for number stations in the past. It's great - amazing what you can still find on shortwave.
This is well worth listening to. Great podcast.
Good map. As someone who grew up in Cardiff it doesn't surprise me to see this distribution. A lot of media roles are also billingual in Cardiff. I've got a GCSE in Welsh (having been one of the first years to have to…
I kind of agree with this. I used to work for a large enterprise software company and I often made the point that you'd have to jump through hoops to get approval to spend a couple of hundred EUR, but you could call a…
+1 for an awesome interview experience. I had an offer last year which I didn't end up accepting (for various reasons) but I walked away from the process having actually enjoyed it.
Exactly the same here. I had email hosted with TSOHost here a few years ago and had no end of problems with bounce backs. In the end I moved it all to GSuite for a few bucks a month. It's simply worth it to avoid the…
This is a bit (a lot) dodgy. I've had to provide background references for a number of jobs in the past. This could well come back and bite you - what if the person hiring knows people from the company you supposedly…
I wonder what is actually causing the error here. Looking at the 2 payloads diff on the site I can't spot anything. It's a weird one that's for sure.
Would it still do DDOS even without the WAF?
Microsoft Regional Director is effectively someone who is an advisor to Microsoft - https://rd.microsoft.com/en-us/about/ .
Runway length at LGW is OK for a 777. I'd guess they knew it was safe and it's easier to deal with a plane full of pax at your originating airport than diverting to STN (where there's no BA ops) or LGW (BA have ops here…
Apparently there are some companies who are suppliers to these organisations who do pay better, but otherwise, yes. The salaries are pretty poor. I get that some people would want to work there for the kudos, but…
I'd guess you might be thinking of the darts game that Playjam had. This was on Sky Digital rather than analogue Sky, so more like 1998-1999. From memory the old analogue system didn't have any interactive features. I…
O'Reilly. Pluralsight. Public speaking or presentation course can be good. I've been doing some certs lately. AWS Solutions Architect Associate was about that for a virtual course + exam voucher. Find a conference…
This. Instead of a simple method call, you now have the joys of distributed systems to deal with instead. I'm a fan of right size architecture. Monoliths have their place. Microservices have their place. Neither are…

Got to agree unfortunately. I'm a huge fan of Troy and HIBP in general. This was a tiny bit too much right now (I've got a 7 month old and my wife isn't working!).
I'm getting tempted. I said that if Apple brought out a G-Shock style Apple watch, I'd buy it instantly. I've had an Apple Watch SE for the last couple of years. It's been pretty good on the whole. Bought it after my…
Yep. I've spent evenings on the phone with AWS support in the past. We spend a lot with them, but their support was excellent and I was able to get on the phone pretty quick (it was issues with an Elasticsearch cluster…
Was around then that I got started. Static sites, created using Frontpage Express (later, full fat Frontpage, then later again Macromedia Dreamweaver and Macromedia Fireworks). Blink, Marquee etc tags being used etc.…
I've got an i9 MBP for my work machine. No issues with my M1 MBA for my personal machine. Admittedly it doesn't get used for heavy weight development, but I've had no issues with e.g. IntelliJ. It feels as quick as my…
