It's a great time to be in security, definitely a job seeker's market. I've been in security for ~8 years now and don't have any certs and don't see a whole lot of value in them unless your employer/clients require them (some consultant or government shops do). I place a much higher value on knowing your stuff and being able to earn the respect of other engineering teams when helping them understand more secure ways to build what they're trying to build.

Some of the best security engineers I've known came from a network engineer or sysadmin background. So don't worry if you don't have a "masters in security". I'd spend some time thinking about the last large system you built. How would someone attack it? How would you detect those attacks? What would you do if they were successful? How could you have architected around those weaknesses? If doing that seems like fun, my team is hiring in Seattle, feel free to drop us a message at prodsec-recruiting@tableau.com
Claims of the health benefits of standing desks are not about weight loss. I don't think I've seen that claimed at all. Claims I've seen most often are back related, blood pooling related, and cardiovascular/blood circulation.

The jury is still out, but subjectively, switching to a standing desk at least a few times a week really helped my posture and back.
I think the Python falcon web server uses eval to produce direct python that executes routing code at run time. I don't have any reason to think it can't be beat, but it is relatively fast for something done in Python.

More generally, generating code is used for a lot of regex engines, though it may happen before runtime.

I dislike standing desks but I sincerely recommend trying the following:

Buy yoga pants (lulu mens pants look good enough that I wear them for almost everything), take off your shoes, and sit like you used to sit when you were a kid: Sit cross legged, sit on your legs, sit 'normally', and let yourself move around and change positions and fidget naturally.

Over time I have found this much more intuitively comfortable than a sitting or standing desk, and being able to fidget more easily helps me think, just like going for walks helps me think. Point being: try stuff out! Maybe you'll find something more comfortable than the status quo, faddish or not.

I suspect a large amount of the issue is sheer availability.

There's an odd proclivity of developers of build tools to assume that their favorite runtime (be it python for scons, etc) is already available or trivial to nicely install. And that's just... not true.

The build tool itself is the one place in the ecosystem of building software that we have the least room for manual dependency handling and manual setup, because there's nowhere left to punt the hard part.

Make isn't better at this either, but it's been so widely packaged and is so nearly-default available (it's remarkably hard to get a working desktop system without some transitive dependency having gotten make installed for you) that it defacto gets a free pass on this.

My hypothesis is that these newer build tools would have a much better shot at reaching adoption if they were well-packaged enough that a single tarball (with zero external deps) or a single-line install script (think: "gradlew", though even that was cheating by assuming an existing jvm) could bootstrap them. Most don't seem to have invested that effort. And it shows.

I did say likely - it is possible they are sincere in their doctrines. Why I think this is more conjecture than proven fact or feeling. Laws everyone breaks and are enforced only when convenient is a classic totalitarian tactic for control.

Given other accounts about things like the lax pollution enforcement until it causes a loss of face and how corruption charges were used more for solidifying President for Life status than actually reducing corruption cynical motivations are consistent.
Creative idea to combine BigGAN and Picbreeder
Personally I have indeed already tried this, and it worked very well for me, hence why I'm planning on getting a proper desk. However the cheap setup is massively inconvenient in my flat, hence why I've not been using it much. I pretty much only have one place I can sit (my desk) so I have to constantly disassemble/reassemble it, which is annoying!

I’m unfamiliar with the particulars here. Do you have to plant olives and almonds in different fields or do they mostly like the same sun soil and water conditions?

There has been a push by some people to plant multiple perennials in the same fields to improve soil quality but also to reduce the ease of spread of pathogens (because the next potential host is far away by insect and spore standards).

Would it make sense in this case, especially if you’re cleaning tools as a prophylaxis as well?

Ia typical efficiency style of BigCo, some departments in our company have very nice expensive top-of-the-line sit/stand desks issued to everybody and most of the people there never use them for standing, while in other departments like ours one can't get it even after passing through the gauntlet of ergonomic forms and assessments - at the end it happens that they don't have a model suitable, whatever it means, to the office space we're in.

Hearing about the challenges of raising kiddos in the Bay is also refreshing to me. I've a lot of friends that would love to have kiddos, but the costs and 'hassle' of child-rearing in the Bay are just too much. Kids are hard enough without 2 hours of commuting per day.

Also, though the article is focused on tech workers, the Bay actually does have other inhabitants. I went out for an interview for a biotech position on the Peninsula recently. Overall, it went well and they offered me $60k. My jaw, of course, needed to be picked off the floor. When I mentioned that, per CA state law, even auto-mechanics make that without a HS degree in their city, let alone the BS/MS/PhD that they required for the position, the company said "well, that's the going rate". I asked if they had hook-ups/dump-points for the RV I would be inhabiting in the parking lot. The req. is still open all these months later.

Tech, and Prop 13, have severely distorted the CA property market to near total dysfunction for proper societal functioning.

An advertising platform that was based on the words on the webpage - we could use it to fund the discovery side of our business. Let me call up my Stanford buddies and we'll get going. I know a guy named Eric that might like this idea.

I read the post, I don’t know that I would have left it up either.

You post that in a forum and now, what is everyone else’s reaction going to be?

And finally, “I found a defect after delivery, they took the car back and are fixing it. They scratched my car during the repair and now are bringing it to the body shop to touch up” isn’t exactly a complaint. That’s about the absolute best service you can get from a dealer.

redux-observable has helped me get some of the better parts I liked about Cycle into a more "traditional" React app setup.

For maintainability by other developers I've been migrating my biggest Cycle app into a "traditional" React app. Partly because I got very caught up into some "plumbing" issues in Cycle, with lots of dynamic components and keeping them performative starting being far too much work, especially if I expected other developers to read it, much less touch it. The Cycle/React-interop has gotten better so that I might contemplate React-hosted Cycle components for future needs, but at this point with the vast React ecosystem and increasing Junior Developer-friendliness of "traditional" React, it makes the most sense to just use as much off-the-shelf React as possible and Redux seems familiar to more developers (even if they might not immediately get what redux-observable "epics" are doing).
You're not likely to have much luck jumping straight into the R/B team pentesting or forensics world without either some practical experience or certification. With a firm tech background I can imagine you can re-train into a slightly lower position on the security totem pole pretty easily though. Certs can be a mixed bag - pretty much everyone knows they don't actually mean a whole hell of a lot other than a basic grasp of the concepts, but some places will still use them as HR filters. SANS exams can be helpful and are not particularly difficult, but as you said, are very expensive. I'm not really sure about current pay rates for sysadmin type work are, but I wouldn't expect that significant of a pay cut, if you encounter one at all.

Security as a field in general is definitely hiring, though. You'll almost certainly be able to get a job pretty much anywhere in a large variety of companies. For example, here in the Midwest there's a lot of health providers, insurance companies, and banks that have plenty of positions available at locally competitive rates (though bear in mind this exists outside the SV wage bubble) and they generally do not have any qualms about hiring older folks.
> Remote working might not be for everybody

That's definitely so. In the same way as 5% (read in some study quite long ago) of us are capable to manage other people.

Remote work requires self-discipline/determination to reach end result. Looking on developers I know personally I would estimate 30-20% of them are capable to do remote work.

Actually that is not about just remote strictly speaking. In office those 70%-80% require tight supervision/mentoring/other forms of motivation.
It'll probably be around the same time we get conclusive data on exactly what type of career, relationship, and lifestyle is the best.
> It's fundamentally _odd_ to me that people are looking at rental costs.

I think it was good that he focused on rent instead of for-sale price. The sale price includes other factors (property taxes, interest rates, expectation of rent increases) that do not affect the cost of living, and many authors get confused when they complain about rising prices while ignoring rents; see https://www.idiosyncraticwhisk.com/2017/10/housing-part-264-... for further explanation
Nevermind the fact that poorly done lead removal work actually makes the problem worse, since you're going to produce a lot of lead containing dust that takes specialized skills and equipment to contain. Just doing that willy nilly (and on a budget) will likely expose you and your children to more lead than just leaving it be.
Tech money people from SV/NYC ought to consider going to these secondary hubs. They can become big fishes in smaller ponds really quickly, and build networks to make use of the talent going to these communities. To some extent this has happened to other industries.

Senior network engineer for an ISP here, when you have a network that spans a number of states and provinces, it inevitably develops a huge attack surface. Designing security features into the network is part of modern network architecture, the two are inseparable these days. There's obvious concerns about endpoint security (individual servers, VMs, etc) and then different considerations for network security of routing/switching/WDM/millimeter wave equipment at POPs.

A lot of equipment used by ISPs is barely protected at all, from what I've seen of other peoples' networks. There's a lot of things out there like temperature monitoring devices, UPSes, rectifiers, HVAC controls, security card readers/relay controls, generator monitoring control systems that run ancient shitty software, which the vendor will never patch. People spend a lot of time isolating these things in special management networks because the cost of replacing a big rectifier system at an older POP cannot be justified.

I would say that for somebody that wants to get into a dedicated security role, without having specifically studied netsec stuff in detail, the best background to have is a mixed balance of first/second-tier NOC, network engineering, and general Linux/BSD sysadmin knowledge.
I mean where are talking about? There is a huge difference between Toledo OH and Raleigh or Austin.

I don't believe his view conflicts with yours.

I think it's very possible to have someone present to help define value and priorities, and focus on the people part of getting shit built, while giving engineers a lot of creative involvement and ownership.
> Does Supercharging affect my battery? [0]

> The peak-charging rate of the battery may decrease slightly after a large number of high-rate charging sessions, such as those at Superchargers. To ensure maximum driving range and battery safety, the battery charge rate is decreased when the battery is too cold, when it is nearly full or when its condition changes with usage and age. These changes in the condition of the battery may increase total Supercharger time by a few minutes over time.

Not the person you are responding to.

It's a matter of point of view, but to me cooperative/preemptive is a property of the underlying scheduler, not of what the programmer is usually exposed to. As you correctly pointed out, it is possible to block the scheduler with uncooperative code. It's not even hard: it takes just one heavy CPU-bound computation. I write these kind of computations every day: if you sell me a system as preemptive and it's not, I will get angry...

Appreciate the reply!

With regards to what do I find interesting, honestly I would put offensive at the top of the list but I do have interests in the defensive side as well as the malware analysis. I am, what I believe, a "problem solver" by nature so I enjoy the idea of being given some unknowns and being told to go figure it out.
I was 36 when I got into security and have never looked back. The fastest, most lucrative route to security is through a role at a vendor. Start to get involved with security at your current job. Get to know the security team. Work on a project with them. Get to know the sales person from an up and coming vendor. Ask him/her abut an SE role. You can easily clear six figures.
While 2+ is definitely better, I would still prefer to never use it again. To me, React + JSX is the most natural abstraction for component development. Vue is probably second, but tends to introduce complexities that make things harder for mid-large apps imho.

Nuclear has what Elon Musk calls a "high PITA factor" where PITA stands for "Pain In The Ass."

A tech with a high PITA factor is one that looks simple and great on paper, but when you actually get into implementation and get a few iterations in you hit a combinatorial explosion of hidden complexity. Elon used this term to describe liquid hydrogen rockets in explaining why SpaceX instead went with kerosene for Falcon and is using methane for future rockets.

The reasons behind the high PITA factor for hydrogen rockets and nuclear power are similar in that they're both rooted in extreme difficulties in handling the materials. Hydrogen embrittles many metal alloys, likes to leak, and is a colorless odorless invisible explosion hazard. All that makes it much more expensive to handle than RP-1 or CH4. Likewise nuclear (fission) materials are nasty and metal-eating (via neutrons) and hard to handle, especially once subjected to a fission chain reaction. If something goes wrong you end up with a lump of hot mixed super-radioactive isotopes called "corium," famously described as "the nastiest crap in hell." The whole process demands explicit engineering of each step and is incredibly unforgiving.

This article makes kind of a novel point though: that high PITA factor technologies might indeed exhibit what looks like a negative learning curve. The learning curve isn't actually negative. It's just that what's being learned is mostly in the "oh shit this is way harder than we thought" category rather than the "wow! another way to make this more economical!" category.

I don't mean to assert that nuclear (fission) can't be "solved," but I don't think anyone has done it yet. Fusion might be different but we don't know yet.
There's a world of difference... People have been working on houses for... a couple of thousand years?... there's not much that's unknown about house building. Software building? Not so much. It's almost always all unknowns. New libraries, new programming languages, new requirements never before dreamed of, new everything. Your parallel with housebuilding is a false one.
most people do need middlemen though. if you require everybody to host their own content on their own websites, you go back to the old days of the internet where the only content was published by nerds. which had a certain charm, but was a lot smaller and less inclusive than today's internet.
> I can spend more time actually doing my job and less time manually creating PATH variables for every package I install.

I don't see how this is a Windows issue. Windows, just like Linux, provides the capability to update the PATH both per-user and per-computer; many tools use it and work. NodeJS is a popular such tool that adds its bin folder to the PATH. If a tool isn't updating its path, then it's on the tool's installer.

> this also implies that p(utility(money(optimal strategy)) > utility(money(other strategy))) --> 1

That's true (at least as long as the other strategy also bets a constant proportion of wealth each turn). But it doesn't mean that Kelly is optimal. It could be that in the (increasingly unlikely) cases when the other strategy beats Kelly, the utility produced by the other strategy is much greater than that produced by Kelly. Then the other strategy could still be better overall.

In other words, even though we have

p(utility(money(Kelly strategy)) > utility(money(other strategy))) --> 1

we also have

Expectation[utility(money(Kelly strategy)) - utility(money(other strategy))] < 0

Here's a simplified example of what's going on: consider the bet where you get a penny with probability 1-1/n, and otherwise you lose $(2^n). I think this bet gets worse and worse larger n gets, but the probability of having higher utility if you take the bet tends to 1.
I'm interpreting your comment as implying that it's somehow a waste of time to develop alternatives to an incumbent that just won't evolve. I'm not sure if that's the point you were trying to make or not, but I think it's important to call out that perhaps Make was improved precisely because it was challenged? And whether or not this was the case for Make, it has certainly been the case for other technologies.

But stuff could contain " }; { " or similar weirdness which means you cannot even make assumptions about the semantics of the code in the constants parts of the string. In the second example there is no reason to use eval in the first place when you can just write object[field], so why optimize for eval support?
