What do you mean by "definitions have become fetishes?" What are some examples?

Noticing that most words are ambiguous isn't a bug. It's a commonplace observation that you can repair and move on from. There are a zillion online debates that get started because people interpret words differently (or even adversarially) and don't clarify. It's good to be able to avoid falling into that trap.

In in interactive context, you might ask your conversation partner what they mean by X (if you can't infer it from context). Otherwise, you might pick a definition that seems useful and go with it.

I dug into this last night and got it working with this guide: https://www.derekseaman.com/2019/10/redirect-hard-coded-dns-...

I had issues with just DNAT following some ui forum posts, and I think it's because I'm using switch0 as the interface, with devices across LAN ports on my EdgeRouter. The SNAT masquerade was the key to getting the replies from the pi-hole routed properly.

I was previously using my EdgeRouter as the DHCP DNS server, and using DNS Forwarding on switch0 w/ dnsmasq to forward queries to the pi-hole. With a large cache, this avoided a couple hops for every DNS query on my network. However, this meant that I couldn't see which IP was making the query in the pi-hole query logs, so I've flipped it so that the pi-hole is the DHCP DNS server, and the pi-hole queries the EdgeRouter, which then forwards the requests to public DNS w/ caching. I then assigned every device a '.local' domain in the pi-hole Local DNS tab, which lets pi-hole displays a friendly name for each query in the log.

For completeness sake, here's everything I needed on the EdgeRouter. The EdgeRouter was setup with no VLANs, and with all LAN ports switched w/ a single subnet (switch0 interface exists in the dashboard).

EdgeRouter:

* In the bottom left "System" pop up drawer, set "System domain-name" to "local" (or whatever domain of your choice, like "lan" or "home").

* Services > DHCP Server > [Your DHCP Server] > View Details: Set DNS1 to your pi-hole IP (make sure it's statically mapped!), set Domain to "local"

* Firewall/NAT > NAT: Follow above guide

* Services > DNS: Enable DNS Forwarding for switch0, set appropriate cache size

* Config Tree > service > dns > forwarding: set name server to public DNS server of your choicse

Pi-hole:

* Settings > DNS: Disable all external DNS servers, set custom upstream DNS server to the EdgeRouter

* Local DNS > DNS Records: Look at your EdgeRouter DHCP lease list, give everything you care about a static IP assignment, and then give them ".local" DNS records in pi-hole. SSH-ing in and editing `/etc/pihole/custom.list` may be faster, as pi-hole seems to bring services down and then back up for each entry added via the web UI.

Good point.

I guess in that instance--if had to argue--people think by just stepping away from the path of the diesel exhaust solves the problem and don't have to think about it anymore except in the context of "boy that one car sure was polluting."

But I see what you are saying it's like a sort of a collective "shrug" and what's worse some cynics well say something I find absolutely idiotic: "Well, everything causes cancer," or, "We're all gonna die anyway." smh.
You can use foobar to index your music files and assign a hotkey to run a search of your music library. I have found that foobar is faster at locating files than browsing my [excessively large] music collection.
Just because you have observed many without a strong interest in security, how would you know that there isn't also many who do? I do, but I wouldn't say strong interest because I don't encounter it in my day to day.

As an implementer of APIs, most security concerns are done during auth. The only usual things are care in handing of externally supplied values (e.g. database ids or strings) and maybe redacting some parts in logs. Every now and then a new thing gets made that needs its own set of permission scopes and assignments to apps etc.

> development of secure software is primarily led by cybersecurity folks rather than developers themselves

"cybersecurity folks" who develop secure software are "developers". What you're really saying is that app feature developers, etc don't focus on security, which they should but only as much as they need to which isn't very much.

Terrible definition. Is sex an addiction then?
Only by way of anecdotal experience, but if I skip a meal (or worse, two) I tend towards massive overindulgence at a later meal, and I don't have an innate sense for calorie intake estimation. So I will often end up eating far more calories at the later meal than I might have skipped in the earlier one.

Not at all scientific, just 2 cents.

So you are saying the order of events if:

3. you ask it "are you sure? i think that's wrong"

4. it answers again "you are right, i think the answer i just gave you was wrong, here is what i think is the right answer this time" (and again, it's wrong)

> Compared with 3 meals/d, meal skipping increased energy expenditure. In contrast, higher postprandial insulin concentrations and increased fat oxidation with breakfast skipping suggest the development of metabolic inflexibility in response to prolonged fasting that may in the long term lead to low-grade inflammation and impaired glucose homeostasis.

So, it sounds like short-term fasting is a good way to stress the system. Long-term stress might lead to bad outcomes though?
> > Meal skipping has become an increasing trend of the modern lifestyle that may lead to obesity

> I believe them that this is correct but does anyone know why?

This would have been better written as "Because the modern lifestyle may lead to obesity, meal skipping has become increasingly popular".
Pretty sure we're armchair quarterbacking just agreeing here, but I would imagine any course of action other than smashing the seatbelt button would probably negatively influence the outcome. Turning will just increase baseline stress on the airframe so you might as well buckle up and get ready for any emergency adjustments after the turbulence is over.

This is the problem with all weight loss and dieting studies and anecdotal evidence. Nothing is ever fixed or set in stone. Some people lose weight with lots of small meals. Some lose weight with one big meal. Some find low carb works, others eat carbs and lose weight. Human metabolism and body weight regulation is very complicated and doesn't readily yield to simple rules or heuristics (beyond CICO).
> really makes you feel old when you start talking about things you did 20 years ago on the internet

That only gets worse.
This is only n=17 and 7 days long. Not particularly useful. AFAIK it's pretty well accepted in the keto fasting world that prolonged skipping of meals can lead to insulin inflexibility. Meaning it's good to have a cheat day to prevent your body from becoming overly adapted to fasting.

I am not the lucky one, you are. My life is a sick joke, meanwhile you by all traditional measures have it made if you have all that.

What it is that you want to teach them in the training? I mean the question genuinely, not as a snark. I am curious about what you (or other security people) see as missing part. I have seen security audit of what we were working on done few times and found it interesting to read. It is good to put that stuff into training materials and repeat it to people. It is actually cool if you can demonstrate attack on their own software (there is always someone who will call your attack theoretical until you demonstrate it).

Imo, the best security is the one that does not depends too much on developers remembering to do the right thing all the time. So for example if there is a method that leads to protentional SQL injection or XSS or whatever, prohibit its use and write unit test for it. Basically, static analysis of a code. So then, when someone accidently uses it, the test suite will complain. Hide unsafe things behind internal libraries that force developers do the right thing. Make the right thing easier then the wrong thing. The other good thing are checklists - checklist of ui code, checklist for API, checklist for database, checklist for configuration.

In my opinion, if you want assurance about something important, have checking it regular routine part of process and ideally automated. There is always someone who does not know or dont care or is just tired and not focusing. The best compliance is the one that happens automatically as the easiest thing to do.

I agree that we shouldn't read much into this. But I do suspect that, if an n=17 study came to the opposite conclusions, supporters of intermittent fasting would never stop citing it.
These comments are always so hilarious. It demonstrates a significant lack of understand of how statistics actually works. You see this on reddit all the time, you'd think it'd be better here.

Power and sample size are determined by numerous factors depending on the question under study. You could have N=10 be statistically powerful and N=1,000,000 be statistically meaningless. It depends ENTIRELY on the subject under study. More is not always better and in many cases completely unnecessary.

Here is a decent guide. You may wish to read it so you can learn when you can dismiss a study based on N. You never mentioned, did you back out the study numbers and determine the N=17 number was outside the range of statistical power? If so, would you mind posting your calculations?
My best guest, and this is pure speculation, is that skipping a meal makes people believe that they can eat whatever they want for the other meal(s) of the day. As such, they eat awful food and never develop good eating habits.

I did OMAD (one meal a day) for a while and when I was researching it, many places encouraged this behavior. The idea being that if you skip 2 meals, even if you eat like garbage for your one meal, you won't be able to eat as many calories. This worked for me, I ate whatever I wanted for dinner and I lost ~20lbs in a month, but my cholesterol levels increased so I put a stop to it. Then, I put the weight right back on because, well, I never actually changed my eating habits -- only the frequency.

Your post is unclear. Have you been doing a programming bootcamp thing for three months or have you been working professionally for three months?

If you've done a bootcamp thing and not worked with anyone, my baseline expectation would be that you can do nothing. As in, I'd expect you to be unable to write a calculator program in JavaScript.

If you're working with other people, listen to them.

Programming is not a very easy game to play. The bootcamp marketing rather glosses over that.

This is the first system I have used, and practically the only one since that I would call truly intimate. [1] Thanks for this link.

Well, in terms of UI, I see no problem whatsoever in building such a workflow. The way it will work is: lenses (aka editors) are cells (aka widgets). So you will be able to position things freely, anywhere. You could even connect and see actual symbols get imported and such.

As for the CL side, unimporting a symbol (aka removing a connection) is possible, so I see no problem there either : )

I thought Sway was based on i3, which is an arbitrary-width tree that can have different display modes per container node in the tree.

Hyperland's wiki only lists "Dwindle" and "Master" layouts, which from the description are strictly less versatile than i3 (and Sway?) in exchange for convenience if those layouts are what you want. Does it even have something as flexible as i3? (and Sway?)

Intermittent fasting and "meal skipping" can be different, as Intermittent fasting does actually require more than just skipping a meal.

It is a process for caloric reduction, if you skip 3 eggs in the morning, but then eat 6 eggs plus a sandwich at lunch you are not going to lose weight.

Normally while doing Intermittent fasting, you need to fast for 16 hours or more (not the 8-12 that meal skippers normally get) and often Intermittent fasters will do a single sensible meal and then snack with low carb snacks during the rest of the eating period.

Many big government consulting companies will have a constant pool of employees that have nothing to work on for a few reasons: they have a job but are waiting on a clearance to start work, they were hired for/working on something that didn't pan out so they are waiting for a new job, or they've got a job but the project hasn't been given a green light to start working it yet. These workers may be able to find some low level work to keep busy or they have some training budget that can be spent on bootcamps but sometimes there is just nothing for them to do other than just spend all day looking at the internal job board and canvassing program managers for work. The last situation is the worst to be in, you only get to bill overhead for so long until you get laid off. The good part is at least you're getting paid while applying to other companies in the evenings. Unless you know there's a position waiting for you, its best to spend as much training money as you can and find a new company before the lay off comes.

My company likes to do the complete opposite. There is always endless work to do because we only hire if there's an immediate need for someone. The upside is that you're always going to be busy and lay offs are very rare. The downside is that we are perpetually understaffed.

Software is still developing at a pace that burdensome regulatory red tape would represent a completely unacceptable destruction of value.

Defaulting to red tape as the mechanism to improve the quality of software is also very short-sighted. Software engineering has the absolutely unique property among all engineering disciplines that we are working with abstract systems which are subject to formal verification. We can get arbitrarily high levels of assurance, with zero need whatsoever for some stodgy accreditation body.

This is not happening much at the moment because money is (artificially) cheap, so it makes sense to hack together some crap and get it out the door as quickly as possible. There are solutions to this; slapping regulations on software is not the best one.
