It will be far more interesting to see the impacts on Queens versus Crystal City, IMHO. Crystal City already has a strong tech presence - it's government, not industry, but still - no shortage of technology around. 25K new workers is a

Programming FPGAs by Simon Monk and the Mojo v3 have been what I've been getting started with. It might be a little basic if you've been working in-depth with GPUs already, but the Mojo v3 is a great board to learn on - connects d

Think less about pushing your product, and more about aligning your product to a stated need. Instead of "how do I get Product X into Company Y," ask "how can I help Company Y accomplish their mission with my product in a way

This is a phenomenal field choice for an online degree. I'm a little surprised that they didn't have a professional institution co-sponsoring it (like AT&T did for another GT program). One of the big players like Splunk or Sym

Two researchers at DEF CON this past weekend showed that the situation is better but people are still using old tech for their crypto. So, better mathematically, but not practically. Slides are here off the DEF CON media server: https:&#x

I didn't find mine until recently, but even then - it definitely found me. I worked really hard on stuff that I just "liked" enough that I said "hey, if this is all I did, I would be happy and would make enough money to

In many cases those governments are the end users. They're buying the same licenses as run-of-the-mill businesses. Furthermore, if you said "well, private users only can review the code," then every government is just going

There's also the often unmeasured benefits of the surreptitious Googling that many people do before meeting you. Bosses and clients alike will "look you up" after receiving your resume or a cold email, and that blog can make

That depends on a few factors. 1. Can you cite tangible accomplishments where your work has disproportionately benefited the business? Did something really cool technically != did something that made the company more money or cut costs. If

PCI-compliant networks often contain checks for credit card numbers being sent in plaintext over the network. Problem with that is that credit card numbers are computed according to a formula, and it's really easy to generate a bunch o

"Air gapped" means that there is a physical separation between two networks (i.e., there's "air" between them). If two networks are physically connected, there is always a chance that someone could bypass any softwa
