As a hiring manager I’m encountering a tremendous amount of hiring fraud. One person interviews and another shows up. I have seen most of this activity with an address out of the DC area and I suspect they do this systematically and collect

Companies with strict data protection policies can force the usage of VDE for sensitive tasks, as part of a broader DLP program.

Does Canada have this problem? They require voters to have ID.

A bad precedent in my opinion - look at qualcomm blobs on mobile devices. You have no choice and this undermines all mobile security in affected devices.

The problem with automated systems is the collection of biometric data. It’s far too invasive and is a perverse incentive to grow identification databases.

Why don’t we require voters to show ID? It seems the system is flawed from the very beginning, there is little oversight and too much trust in local “officials”.

Fantastic book. I used Learn C in 21 days and that is what started everything for me. I had a second book on Linux administration and installed Slackware from 1.44mb disks, ultimately setting up pppd and using Mosaic. Great memories!

> The person you're responding to now is engaging in a major moving of the goalposts.) Sorry you feel this way. I genuinely tried to share advice that helped me. The negativity here is astounding. Time to leave.

Being successful isn’t about knowing CS. It’s about navigating relationships. Tech skills are now table stakes. Do yourself a favor and diversify your skills. I was dealt a shitty hand and rose above it. Emotional and sexual abuse. I blame

I feel sorry for you if you think I am being sarcastic. The internet is an unhealthy place to live. Travel more. Follow your passion. Forget labels and work hard to get what you want. Work isn’t 9-5. It’s 24/7, who you work for changes

Get out of your head and think about yourself. Forget all labels. Listen to your gut and inner voice. Do what makes you happy. If you don’t know what makes you happy that’s step one.

I live by an edict. If you don’t get what you want: it’s due to your decisions. I prioritized flexibility and that’s what I have. You can do the same!

The solution to belonging is to live in the moment. I don’t care what other people think of my travels, it’s about me and my experiences. The moment I start doing something for others is the moment I stop being true to myself. I’m genuinely

The people make it harder. 20 years ago it was exclusive to those who had passion. Now it’s full of people who just want to get paid and that changes the interpersonal dynamic significantly.

How would you use fail2ban in this case if you block on a hit to a malicious endpoint? In any event you could use a cookie. The important part here is the list of scanned endpoints for blocking bad traffic is doing things the hard way.

I would rate limit off of status code and skip the path filtering. Especially if you have a high traffic site.

I hope this is not the case. After working all day on a computer the last thing I want to do is to look at a screen.

If all you want is money go the FAANG route. There are a lot of people who grew up in the 90s/00s who are now hiring managers and they screen for passion not profit. Make no mistake that we work to get paid. But the motivation for work

Simplicity always wins over complexity. Complexity is a liability, but it does make you feel smart.

I’ll institute a policy of no layoffs if folks get paid the same as government jobs. In all seriousness though this perspective is a double standard. Hiring managers can’t typically setup these policies, and when you leave after a short tim

It’s not about what you have, it’s about what you do with what you have. People who take care of themselves tend to have their life together. Correlation vs causation and all that.

I can’t make sense of it either, in fact I would consider it a negative. A mayor was once asked what he was doing to help minorities in his city. He replied “I don’t have minorities in my city, we all are all equal”.

I couldn’t disagree more. I want to see commitment, not leaving at the first sign of trouble. It costs a lot to acquire and hire talent.

I think it’s additive. We like to feel smart and can over complicate things. I much prefer a boring non-trendy approach that’s easy to maintain over new hotness every time.

No amount of censorship is acceptable, IMO.

It’s also about engagement and avoiding offending folks via dislikes. IMO dislikes are essential.
