Do a lot of practice problems. There are plenty in the book "Cracking the Coding Interview" Use the tools you'll be expected to use for an interview with one of the top 4 companies (i.e. internet text pad, pen and paper, whit

UBI would cause hyper inflation if it came from 'new' money. As in, if the fed just started printing out 5k/mo/person. Most theoretical implementations of UBI suggest the money coming from taxes (taken from larger corpor

Just wanna add that we used C0 for a subset of the class, and most of the students jump into a more rigorous course which involves actually implementing malloc. I agree with you that learning the ins and outs of memory is super important, b

Ansible, because I like having an agentless configuration management tool. In my experience, Ansible also seems the most readable (obviously subjective). I've used Puppet, and Chef but only through AWS OpsWorks. That said, I've be

So, take this with a grain of salt because I do not actually work in the security industry. My understanding of security researchers is limited to an academic setting. Many PhD students, masters students, professors, etc at my school were t

You're absolutely right, but people are willing to consider CTF work as experience. If you can go into depth how you solved a problem, no one will question your conceptual understanding. I think it's definitely easier if your inte

I don't know enough to have a well formed opinion. I don'y know any contractors personally, and haven't read up on it much. Sorry!

The best advice I can give you is to join a Security CTF team (your college may or may not have one, but there are others that are open to all). Internships and jobs will open up from being part of a CTF group. It's also A LOT of fun*

I use Albert on my Arch Linux installation as an alternative to Alfred. Not quite as good, but it works and is familiar (also extensible). If you're looking for clipboard management, there are tons of linux solutions for that, see: ht

I just got a T460s, and am super happy with my Arch Linux setup. The build quality definitely isn't as good as Apples. I had to return my first T460s due to severe light-bleed issues. The new one is fine, though the TrackPoint isn&#x27

The department had every intention of sharing the information at, I believe, Blackhat. A lot of research (especially security related research) is funded and approved by the government. Before they were able to give the talk at Blackhat, th

It's unfair to think of CMU as an 'evil' entity just because of what some people in one particular and small department did. There's a lot of really good work that comes out of CMU, including the department that helped t

At my school there was always a small group of students who went down the OS path in Computer Science. A lot of people stuck around til some fun C stuff but then stopped when it got to writing compilers, kernels, and entire OS's. Seeme
