   Kanye has been fully covering his body/face for years (since at least the Yeezus tour in 2013).

   I feel fortunate to live in a time where AI is pushing the bounds of what is possible. It makes me question what I think is real, and why. If I saw this a year ago, there is no way that I would have believed it was real. There have been too

   I treat slides like notecards. They keep me on topic and remind me of what I need to talk about.

   If this gets passed in 2024, it will be interesting to see how it plays out. There are probably a lot of homeless people who could benefit from this and wouldn’t cause issues for the hotels. On the other hand, there is also a portion of the

   There a lot of times in my day when I can listen to a book (commuting, chores, taking a walk), but not as many when I can sit for a decent amount of time and read (usually around bed time). I do both, and on balance I slightly prefer actual

   Not sure why, but when I worked for a large fintech a couple years ago, we regularly saw banking Trojans built in Delphi.

   Didn’t they just layoff a bunch of people and let go of their CFO?

   I just started printing photos and putting them up around my house and it provides me a surprising amount of joy.

    I enjoying writing Netcat clones when learning a new language (or even a new paradigm in one I already know). Netcat hits a lot of interesting areas like sockets, error handling, and threading/concurrency.

    Last year I got bit by the productivity bug pretty hard. I tried all sorts of different tools/solutions to try and be as productive as possible in my personal and professional life. I am ok with using multiple systems and ended up deci

    I was in the first wave of a multi-wave lay off recently and after seeing how awful it was for the "survivors" to get RIF'd a couple weeks later, I am glad I was out asap.

    I just finished a three month vacation between jobs and I agree. Getting (what felt like) so far away from my career, I really got to interrogate my dreams, goals, and plans. I’m still battling with some tough realizations from this time, b

    I have an M1 Air and I use it with a Samsung CRG9 monitor. For a while I had to manually set the refresh rate, which was annoying, but since the latest MacOS update I haven’t had any issues.

    Previous Job I just left - Former manager (great boss) recruited me. I spent 7 years there. New Job - Told people in my network I was looking and let people refer me.

    I get that argument, but Snort is 22 years old and a fairly popular network security technology. Feels like if someone put a link just Java or something. Edit: Given the upvotes on this post, I was mistaken! A good lesson on keeping an open

    The first major piece of software I ever wrote and pushed to production was a rules manager/updated for Suricata (essentially open source Snort). As someone who didn’t have a CS background and was self taught, it felt momentous. I have

    If you want braces in your f strings you double them up. Ex: n = "hn" print(f"hello {n} your path is {{path}}") Out: hello hn your path is {path}

    Depending on what the Botnet is trying to achieve, CPU can be “expensive” in a time sense. If you are doing a credential stuffing attack with something like a COMB dump, then every cycle counts because you have a ton of creds to check.

    I agree with this. I have a trash bachelor’s degree from a for-profit school and it has never been more than a checkbox when applying for jobs. I’ve managed a couple dozen people, and with the exception of the couple of PHDs in that group,

    I am in the same boat. I built a CT Log scraping system back in 2016 and once storage got too expensive I migrated the solution to the Censys API. Our use case is finding phishing sites targeting our customers, CT Logs have been amazing for

    I have built solutions that are a perfect fit to solve security issues at multiple companies, only to have them turned down because “management says we have to buy a vendor for this”. Incredibly frustrating, especially when they go with a v

    When people ask this question about Python codebases, I always recommend the Shodan Python client - https://github.com/achillean/shodan-python It is easy to read and has taught me some neat Python-isms.
