Résumé/CV: https://penguincoder.com/resume.pdf

Email: jobs (at) [my HN username].com

I am an information security professional (~7yrs exp) focusing on blue team/defense network security, and digital forensics. I have experience with Linux systems administration, network security, IDS/IPS, PCAP analysis, and incident response for cyber security roles. Please review my resume for additional details.

I am not a true software developer. I can pick up the basics of a programming language and write functioning programs. I can code in Python, Golang, C/C++, and script in bash. I don't have formal training or experience in developing algorithms, complex data structures or true 'software development'. I can share code samples if needed.
"Not funny" doesn't mean "offensive".

Why do you allow mere words to have such control over you?
It is also interesting to play the Play Random Computer example (http://chessboardjs.com/examples#5001), and try to checkmate the random computer without losing a single piece.

It combines the fun of steamrolling the opponent with the strategy of planning captures that leave your piece perfectly safe, or managing the board so that the computer could take your piece but probably won’t.
Thankfully the US has a property tax, so they have to put the property to use, which is good for the economy, at least.
Read the Golang source - I'd guess the best guys to learn writing go from are the guys who are making it.
I love how history repeats. When I was a kid we had a big 50-foot antenna tower outside of my house so we could pull in stations from 90 miles away.

And now we're back to talking about outdoor antennas again. :)
As suggested above, you'll need something to show prospective clients. This can be challenging when most of your work isn't publicly available, which necessitates building some portfolio pieces for show-and-tell.

For UI-capable developers this would be Web apps/sites, for systems-oriented programmers this could be libraries or utilities.

Also, can you use the business owner you mentioned as a reference (worst he can do is say "no")?
I stopped after the first paragraph: If you wanted to get rich, how would you do it? I think your best bet would be to start or join a startup. That's been a reliable way to get rich for hundreds of years.

Come on. Startups are long shots, a gamble, definitely not a reliable bet. Most startups fail ( http://hubpages.com/hub/why-startups-fail ) and very few are massive successes. It's the rock-star model of getting rich - many try, few succeed.

Was a "venture-backed trading voyages of the Middle Ages" a "reliable way to get rich" ? There were pirates, the danger of sinking the ship in storms or on rocks, scurvy, unpredictable conditions at the other end of the voyage etc... basically it's high risk, high reward.
It's interesting you should bring this up, because I've thought a few times about trying to start an Education-based company after I graduate - it's something I'm both interested in and passionate about (several family members are teachers and headteachers, I've worked as an EFL teacher twice).

One thing that puts me off is what patio11 mentions - selling to schools and universities would be difficult and it's unclear whether they actually want it. OTOH, it does seem like a lot of individuals in education are interested in the potential of e-learning (to give their institution a USP if nothing else), though I've been uninspired by a lot of the examples of it I've seen in practice.

One area which does see a lot of fashionable, Techcrunch-y startups is language learning - off the top of my head I can name Busuu, italki, and Voxswap which are language-learning social networks, ChinesePod and Skritter which are targeted at Mandarin learners, and Smart.fm and YC-funded Lingt which offer online flashcards. These, of course, are more aimed at individuals, suggesting that it's something much easier to target.

"Disrupting Education" is an interesting read; the author's thesis is that e-learning is a 'disruptive innovation', that will first find success in niche areas where traditional education cannot reach (for example, providing high school students courses like Arabic, which are difficult to find teachers for). There it will gain momentum until it begins to displace more traditional education (though he holds that it will empower human teachers, not replace them).

I would put my own stuff up. AirBnB? Rent out your room, find friends and family that have a room to rent. Etsy? Sell your own crafts. App market place? Sell your own apps there, and give other early adopter publishers a more favorable cut than the competitors.

You have to hustle and make sales. Make warm calls. Make cold calls. Start building an email list through your blog. Engage people who make the things you want to sell in your market.

And that's only half of it. You also have to get the right consumers shopping in your market.

I don't know who said it first but I like this: "Resourcefulness not Resources"
This is kind of off topic, but the Opera system tray icon drives me nuts and it is probably driving someone else nuts too. For whatever reason, the /notrayicon switch does not work for me after I upgraded. I'm not sure if previous versions have this, but in this one you can disable the tray icon via opera:config.

Paste opera:config#UserPrefs|ShowTrayIcon in the address bar, uncheck, save and restart.
I think he nailed it for the most part. Anytime you hear a person of 'wealth' talk about becoming financially successful, they too define it as 'wealth' and not 'money'.

That's probably where the line is drawn between those who have a lot of 'money' and those who don't.
Agreed, all of these articles are really well-written.
so the issue is creating an ad delivery service that understands the context of the articles on the pages its serving. I would think there are a good many methods to pull that off but even then perhaps the risk to real?
Not sure "Slack experience" is the best way of describing it :)
I'm not completely sure if there are clear-cut examples of bait-and-switch. Possibly 'pages' where initially the people who liked them would see all posts until it gradually decreased to 10-15% unless you paid. But that is somewhat justifiable by fb's attempt to keep the news feed relevant.

But it is an obvious threat for the 'open web'. Look at what happened to email. My inbox is a great archive for my social life pre-2010, but since then it's just (some) business and lots of transactional mails. With email people had a choice of clients. With messenger you're stuck with whatever Facebook offers. Same with RSS vs. Twitter.

There's no immediate and direct harm, which is why it'll continue. It's comparable to the privatisation of public spaces. People used to meet on main street, now they go to the mall. The latter is more convenient, possibly cheaper and has the (5) starbucks you expect. There is no harm, unless you live on the sidelines of society: as a hobo, or, even worse, protester.

If only there were a business model for something like diaspora...

No more suspicious than using a Paul Graham quote on Paul Graham's discussion board to bolster your opinion.
I taught myself Python at 9, C++ at 11, and Scheme at 13. The only languages on the list I've never used are Prolog and OCaml.

Go with Python. Unlike almost everything else you mentioned it's actually useful even if they don't like programming.
JVM does that for you. However you're free to do all sorts of kinds of optimizations that the JVM simply can't do. Think about a in-memory logic engine that's running during compilation - you can introduce relations which influence how code further down the line is compiled via macros.
https://join.me/ might work for you. It has a limit of 250 people and it's totally free. Unfortunately there aren't any conference call capabilities with the free version, but they do offer a trial of the pro version, which does come with a call in number I believe.

Edit: I was wrong - the free version does give you a conference call number.
Is this a response to pg's (paraphrased) "HN is for hackers, not startups"?

Oh and pssssst! Add a RSS feed! :)
I think your web page is very unclear.

"Share a project on your laptop" doesn't really specify that I can share a web server on my laptop. Maybe that's implicit in the HN community, but my first thought was that it was a tool for automatically posting updates of my screen to a web site, which I thought was an awesome idea. Then I read the comments here, and with some disappointment concluded that it's forwarding a network port...
Their installer fails on my Lenovo.
Update after a week: so that didn't last very long.
[I don't think you'll be seeing this, but in any case...]

I thought about penalizing new apps for that reason - sure, you can rename your app to get rid of the reviews, but you'll have a harder time making it to the top of the lists.
Indeed, and additionally designing to extract out the maximum perf-per-watt off the hardware.

If I can waste the charge of my new Android phone in a day or, alternatively, optimize my usage and phone configuration and get two days of batterly life, that means I'm still part of the power equation. If, instead, I have to choose between usage patterns that give 8 or 9 days of power, respectively, I will certainly not give a damn.

Battery life is a perfect example of "good enough". Would it hurt so much to equip the phones with larger batteries instead of, say, 1500mAh that seems typical now. As for the latest smartphones, it can certainly not be because of the physical size.
>Startup requires a lot of sacrifices from you. You have to work extremely hard (think 100+ hours per week) for several years.

100 + hours of work per week?!

What kind of startup is this? That's 14 hours / day!
> The US's decision to not get involved against Assad (they're there for ISIS I remind you)

So is Iran? Mind you: the weapons these rebels aka ISIS had were mostly/directly provided by the US and its allies! No official from Syria asked the US to be there! Imagine if Iran would deploy troops tomorrow in Washington to endorse groups to tackle the existing government.
The real danger is supporting regimes that endorse Salafist/Wahabist Islam, which the West likes to do. This hypocrisy of the West is fascinating. I think that could have somehow played a role in Brexit...
I was a victim of "vomit fraud" where the driver sends in fake photos from an identical model vehicle of interior damage and pockets the money. I now take photos of the interior of the car before and after.

Uber charged me for the "damage" same-day and reversed the charges two days later after I sent them article after article on the issue and pointed out it was a Sunday noon drive not a late night Friday escapade.

What's worse is that good drivers who do have their vehicles damaged now likely have to go through more hoops to get reimbursed.
If only the Bolsheviks hadn't grabbed power in the way they did.

If only Marx hadn't been so against utopian socialism.
"The maximum or "vertical limit" of human survivability is around 6000 meters. Extreme heights are called "death zones" and are usually above 8000 meters. Heights higher than 8000 meters are inhospitable for sustained human life. Research indicates that humans cannot live permanently above an elevation of 5500 meters (18,000 feet) without suffering a gradual physiological deterioration that eventually leads to death. Mountaineers who anticipate spending time above this altitude have to fatten themselves before the climb to offset their inevitable weight loss.

As the altitude increases, the barometric pressure decreases. The availability of oxygen decreases as the altitude increases. The increase in oxygen content through the increase in the number of red blood cells is one of the most important mechanisms of adaptation to high altitude. As of May 2003, National Geographic Magazine reports that La Rinconada, Peru, is currently the highest permanent human habitation. La Rinconada, a mining village of over 7,000 people in Southern Peru at an altitude of up to 5100 meters, has been in existence for over 40 years."

Right. Even if the mutex is protecting a is a single memory location, holding a mutex is still observable behavior (there is a total orders of all critical sections at the very least), and eliding it is questionable.
Please stop spreading misinformation.

The so-called "study" is a working paper by economists, so not peer reviewed or anything. Passing this off as settled knowledge ("we already know") is beyond parody.

It is much better , properly coded and actively developed with proper features.
They're not static pages, the lists of questions, users and everything else are dynamic. Some of them are obviously heavily cached, but you can't cache everything. It's certainly possible to find more expensive pages if you put in some effort.
What's wrong with carrying your own music on your own storage device ? With appropriate backups of course and they neednt be mutually exclusive. The article does bring up this point of view towards the end.

I dislike the possibility, however remote, of being cut off from my music at the whim of a service provider or the government. I come from India, the current government is ever so trigger happy about cutting off the internet and/or web sites because someone said something that did not show them in the best of lights.
Perhaps I should have sad rude or lazy cop or doctor rather than bad - of course its the fault of the police force or 'medical establishment' if bad police or doctors are let continue - there's a lot of scope for occasional mistakes, rudeness, and just having a bad day that is hard for the organisation to get rid of.
Tor provides anonymity without accountability; having some doors closed to all Tor users is the price paid for that anonymity. If that price isn’t acceptable, either modify Tor to allow more granular accountability in some privacy-protecting way, or don’t use Tor when accessing services that are closed to it.
By buying ARM the owner gets control over an architecture that many describe as "the future of computing". That's much more valuable than whatever money ARM makes.
There are many proponents of basic income, why choose a known racist?
Probably not because you are racist. I'd wager it is because you are a troll out to illicit heated responses and get more attention. And I'm not sure it's done knowingly or rationally.
I’m having a hard time citing an organofcorti link or what I’ve read in the past regarding ASIC miner nonce generation but it’s not distributed across the entire possible key space evenly; iirc most miners state at zero and increment up or start at the end and decrement nonces or even start at the middle, etc - the distribution is not random.

I may even be mistakenly referring to the satoshi nonces
In the era of people losing the jobs and being cancel over voicing their beliefs, no I'm not going to delete my fake account.
I'm more active under pseudonyms than my real persona. I say my real beliefs under pseudonyms. My "real" account is the actual fake one.
A couple of errors in your comment:

1. That Stack Overflow question is about MediaRecorder, which is encoding. It’s quite reasonable for a browser to support decoding (playing) a format but not encoding in that format.

2. That MDN page says nothing at all about the VP9/Firefox/hardware support combination—in fact it essentially says hardware support isn’t needed (“VP9 is widely supported by browsers, and hardware implementations of the codec are fairly common”). The other point it talks of with hardware support is saying that Media Source Extensions is only available for VP9 if no H.264 hardware decoder is available (which seems at first blush a curious restriction to make).
An ICO is a framework for a criminal conspiracy to defraud. As outlined in the evidence gathered by the SEC on Ripple.

I like that you brought up money of old - and find it disturbing that people are happy to repeat the same pattern - "they did it, so why can't we;" two wrongs don't make a right.

So great, we have regulatory capture of financial systems - and you want to replace it with a system that can't protect against bad actors via financial punishment for known bad behaviour e.g. via the Magnitsky Act? Don't you think that's a problem?

You like Bitcoin because it allows you revenge - but the problem is it's not taking out revenge on the people who may deserve it, it's taking it out on all of society. That's disturbing that you, and I imagine others, aren't thinking critically of those consequences - or if you are that you don't care; in fact this is a fundamental element of Bitcoin and how the mob/"army of HODLers" grows - the price drops and the buy people who bought later, at or below the current price, have now lost money and haven't realized any - so they are now entrenched in the MLM scheme.
No one interested in interfaces? My impression is that interfaces is very commonly discussed, and is one of the most anticipated features in the language, though it may not come until v2.0.
Yes, but that was when we had an agreed upon definition. Now the definition is so broad it includes mere disagreement.
Off-topic, but calling a physical record on a disk a "sector" has always rubbed me the wrong way: it's like calling a point in space a "Z" just because it is usually the name of the last Cartesian coordinate. (The three coordinates of a physical record on a spinning disk are the cylinder, the track, and the sector.)
It's absolutely true, and something that is forgotten in the rush for "green" EVs. In the long run, the fuel is not the unsustainable part of mass public car ownership, it's the rest of the car (or at least, the idea of owning a multi-ton high-speed metal box that can carry you and a large amount of your possessions as far as you like).

Using EVs to transition to something else, leaving behind craters and huge scars from mineral extraction, and huge amounts of e-waste, is just absurd on its face (but very profitable).
The concerns I have with a Digital Yuan are linked to China’s One Belt, One Road initiative with the adding of a digital layer to that effort.

IF China is able to successfully export its Super-platforms into the developing world it will provide the means thru which it could supplant the US Dollar with the Digital Yuan as the primary means of exchange with low friction switching costs.

At the moment, Zipf’s Law still applies with the US Dollar still the dominant currency used with the Euro a distant 2nd.

China’s Yuan is still low single digit %.

But this could change rapidly if China is able to successfully push their domestic super-platforms onto the developing world thru a strategy of One Belt, One Road debt trap diplomacy combined with offering their fellow authoritarians ‘moderator’ within the Chinese ‘administrator’ surveillance framework, and offering users purchasing power stability.

While the decision isn’t binary, if the CCP had to choose between investing in a counter to the US military’s trillion dollar super-carrier battle group sunk cost or adding a billion developing world users for Chinese super-platforms I think the choice is simple.

The latter is cheaper, and ultimately pays for the former.

My thinking is the threat today is low, but the vulnerability looking out a decade+ is extremely high.
I read the release written by the lab.

Should be possible with Apache Cordova.
I built a CI service many moons ago (was https://greenhouseci.com back then) on the premise that _most_ companies don't actually require a hugely complicated setup and don't actually need all the flexibility / complexity that most CI systems have.

After talking to tens and tens of companies with apparent complex CI requirements, I still stand by that assertion. When drilling down into _why_ they say they need all that configurability, it's sometimes as easy as "but FAANG is doing X so my 5 person team needs it as well".
The primary shared component is the ring/yoke. I worked in the same lab as a substantial team of g-2 scientists for the last decade and watched them come to this result. The level of re-characterization of the properties of the entire instrument was extremely extensive. If anything, one should regard the lessons that they have learned along the way as providing extra insight into the properties of the original BNL measurement.

To use a car analogy: This is as if you took someone's prize-winning race car, kept the moderately-priceless chassis, installed upgraded components in essentially every other sense (remove the piston engine, install a jet engine, remove the entire cockpit and replace with modern avionics, install entirely new outer shell, replace the tires with new materials that are two-decades newer...), put the car through the most extensive testing program anyone has ever performed on a race car, filled the gas tank with rocket fuel, and took it back to Le Mans.

I believe that the likelihood of a meaningful ring-correlated systematic, while still possible, is quite low in this case. The magnetic-field mapping, shimming, and monitoring campaigns, in particular, should give people confidence that any run-to-run correlated impact of the ring ought to be very small.
Is this trying to imply that it would be surprising for a pothead to take a quantum mechanics class? Cause, having hung out with plenty of physicists, that wouldn’t surprise me too much... :P

Don't forget teachers. I bet a significant portion of all the majors the article mentioned go on to become teachers.
As a single datapoint, I admit of being almost a Luddite when it comes to mobiles. I barely have a dumbphone and I don't even get what all the fuss is about smartphones, let alone own one. If I spend most of my awake hours in front of a 24'' screen and a four core machine, what's so compelling about carrying an underpowered device with me the few hours I am (and usually want to be) offline ? And yet it seems I belong to a shrinking minority, at least for people of my generation (30ish) and younger.
This isn't useful for cryptography (how can I trust the random data to be random?), but for certain computational tasks this could indeed be quite useful (think Monte Carlo simulations).
