The uber one was pretty creepy. It was right after one of their scandals broke, and I said to my driver that I guess they somehow know I write code.
Maybe you just live in SF :)

#42The repl.it jobs page is literally just a shell, and you have to figure out how to apply: https://repl.it/site/jobs
That's pretty cool, but they should really lock down outbound requests. You can send arbitrary curl requests to the public internet from their IP addresses (which are located in GCP). I'm not sure about mapping out the internal network, but that at least gives you a reliable proxy through Google Cloud.
SSH too. I found both Python (v2.7.13 and v3.5.3) and Perl v5.24.1 on the thing. After running ‘cat /etc/GLOBrelease’ (where glob is that pesky asterisk), I learn that it’s Debian 9, but according to ‘uname -a’ it’s Ubuntu. Fun!

#43I just signed up for https://dailycodingproblems.com , a daily email of company interview problems. I can't speak to the veracity of the claims that the problems are from actual interviews, but I have no reason to doubt their authenticity. The premium version shares the answers, too. I like it so far.

Ah, thanks. My bad.

I just did a fork bomb: jobs@repl.it:~$ :(){ :|: & };: [1] 26 jobs@repl.it:~$ bash: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable
this is why we can't have nice things

I don't think it will have any effect, probably some container/vm will go down and that's it.
