Considering you had to make a throw-away account to express your rather mild opinion, and then was immediately down-voted for it, yeah, I definitely agree you have an unpopular opinion. More than that, the whole issue of gender in tech has become toxic because of the two opposing sides polarizing the issue.

In my place of work, most of the folks there identity themselves with things like "the front end js / photoshop guru who works out a lot", "that designer who boldly splashes black", "the one who listens to your problems and helps you deal with life", or even "the vegan crossfit dba", and literally no one identifies him or herself "female programmer", "male engineer", or what have you... Incidentally, despite the fact people flirt, joke, and laugh while working and being professional, we've never had a problem with sexism.

I have a new saas product and I'm trying to figure out whether to sell to SMB or larger. Do you acquire customers via ads? What's your cost per acquisition? What's your CLV? I'm doing consumer stuff right now and the low CLV is driving me nuts because it gives me zero ad budget.
So for me that page is broken. It reads "My Activity" and then its just a grey page.
I speak well and make a great first impression, honestly. I have always understood how important that is.

Having said that, I just realized that what I started considering as the problem (my resume) may not be what needs work. In another comment, the statement was made that companies are willing to overlook certain things for the right candidate.

Perhaps my garbage resume is being overlooked I make it past the first telephone or face to face interview. I make it far enough to get that sick feeling in the pit of your stomach when you finally get the news that someone else was selected anyway. I'm sure I am not the only one here who gets that, right? Sorry, to your question, that is my basis for that statement.
> I'd also have a series of animagraffs included with each one - these animations tell a very complex story very quickly.

If this is typical of animagraffs, it might be a really weak starting point.

Someone went to all the trouble of making drawings, animations, and written copy without even explaining the difference between blowback and locked breach operation. Someone taking in all that text and looking at the drawings might have some serious delusions of understanding. In the case of a pistol it's especially weird: it really is simple enough that it seems like you could explain how it works using these methods.

This kind of problem deserves its own word. I suggest we call it pseudodetail.

Very true indeed.

> your peer group has even looked at this.

I think it will help most if I explain the incentives for scientists (at least in the US). From their first day in the lab scientists are rewarded most for generating data and making discoveries. The more novel and paradigm shifting the discovery the better - as it opens the door to high-impact publications and future research money. But "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" and the more unexpected the finding the more difficult it is to convince your peers and get it published.

Somewhat idealistically, this has two consequences for a good lead scientist:
1) hew will guide his lab to explore the unexplored
2) and subject the most novel and promising findings to the most stringent experimental verification.

So the answer to your direct question - yes probably someone somewhere tried to test the iodine-breast cancer hypothesis, but since it is not a major topic in breast cancer research the experiments have probably failed and were not published and thus independently replicated

> 2. If someone is looking in the code, they're probably ready for books beyond "HTML & CSS".

Key word in my original statement - "probably". I didn't claim that everyone reading it was beyond needing a beginners book, just that a reader of the code was "probably" ready for books beyond "HTML & CSS".

As for books versus Youtube - yep, I'm an immigrant. In most cases, I personally still prefer books, online tutorials, and online forums to Youtube. But I'm not surprised to hear that isn't the case with kids. But then again, we're discussion a book-seller's site.
15 years in, formal eduction shouldn't be a big deal. Assuming you made a deep positive impact on successful projects, you should have a deep network or connections and referrals to tap? If not, you need to answer that question.

Why are you "bluffing" through jobs when you should have a large tool-belt of experience? Just-in-time/on-the-job learning should be a positive, but it sounds like you need to improve your soft skills/be able to more effectively reposition/sell yourself.

Beyond a resume, which you've mentioned you're terrible at (learn to make a good one, there are plenty of resources, or get someone who is good at it to improve yours) you should probably also put together a CV/project portfolio. Is your LinkedIn up to date?

Also, while it sounds like your experience is mostly in IT support/systems integration, if you're looking for employability, just learn to code. iOS/Android if you're looking for immediate employability, some systems language, full-stack webdev for more general flexibility.

Participate in some open source projects, like others have mentioned, make sure you have a robust Github account. The only way to judge talent is by output, and having public repos and project participation speaks for itself and is a 100x better indicator than any degree or credential.

I wish you the best of luck, but you maybe getting feedback from former employees and coworkers to assess your strengths and weaknesses would be more effective than asking random people on the Internet?
I meant to reply to this first. I didn't expect so many responses. I am located in Upper East, TN. The Tri-Cities to be more specific.
Isolation is possible in a multi-user system with text-mode apps (ncurses and such), just xorg presents a privilege hole that can't be easily plugged. One way to do it may be to run a separate instance of X inside the container and access it via VNC from the host system.
IANAL / Talk to a lawyer.

So you should leave equity for early VCs / employees, just realize that when VCs invest at a certain percent that's for the outstanding shares.

Lets say you have 1,000 shares. You and your cofounders each get 300, and you leave 100 for an early investor.

You get an investment for 10% of the company. That will calculate out to 91-ish shares, since it is based on the total outstanding shares (including the investors). The remaining 9 shares are still available, but not factored into voting, etc. You can use these shares for future investments without having to issue more shares (which dilutes everyone), setup an employee option pool, etc.

As for people leaving, make sure you have a 1 year cliff. If they leave before vesting all their shares, then the company repurchases the shares from them at the amount they paid for the shares. At that point, they are in the unallocated pool. Your founders can purchase them from the company, you can sell them to investors or give them to employees, whatever.

Make sure to file an 83(b) election for tax purposes (pay for the shares now when they are cheap...).
I'm just beginning to make khan academy style videos. That's where I use a tablet to make basic drawings, and screencast what I do.

Is astropad a good fit for this use case? I tried drawing via sketchbook express, but it was hard to keep tools offscreen yet still have enough space to make sketches on the ipad screen.

Currently I'm using jot whiteboard + Airserver, which lets me display my drawings to my mac.
Looks awesome #astroboys.

ps. I'm the founder of Emotely, where I toyed around with a similar approach but then ended up focusing on game controllers instead. Early concept video:

Had been toying with doing something exactly like this again recently called interscreen. Made some prototypes of going over USB, it's so fast when you do that, generally it's fast over wifi. Wifi is un-demoable at conferences, which was always an annoying factor for self promotion.
I'd guess that the source for Cold Fusion is probably fairly well secured by Adobe, and was never available on any of the exploited servers, the same way that very few webservers actually have the Apache or PHP _source_ code lying around, just the complied binaries. What was probably found on "a server operated by hackers" would have been the web-app written to run on Cold Fusion, so in your analogy it's more like they exfiltrated the WordPress php source files.

(assuming, perhaps foolishly, that a logical interpretation exists for the hints dropped by a journalist who either doesn't fully understand, or who strove to lower his wordcount as a higher priority that technical accuracy...)
Aside from the security issues with X11 I've never had a good experience from a usability perspective with X11 on OS X. Basic actions like resizing windows need to offer a native-quality experience before mass adoption can happen. Disclaimer: I'm not sure if this was a limitation of the apps or of X11
They happen even in quality weapons like a 1911 or your modern Glock or Sig Sauer. The biggest one is Failure to Eject, where the cartridge casing fails to completely clear the chamber and gets stuck in the extractor.

They do test fire them at the factory (10 rounds or so) but it takes anywhere between 200-500 rounds to properly break a firearm in. And even then it can depend on the brand, type and quality of the rounds you are using. I bought a bunch of cheap ammo for practice. my Sig Sauer runs it fine, my friends old no name gun Fails to Eject it 1 in 5 times.

That is why most firearm instructors say to never trust a firearm and ammunition combo for defensive purposes until you've run 500 rounds.

Not sure what you mean, any user with access to docker can run processes as root, with any part of the host system mounted into the container. Now, that access was not added by you, but its required to be able to run your images.

Once you have the images running the code in them could easily break out of the container via X11, and do things like sniff all keyboard events and inject events into any app.

Of course, the apps you put in the images probably are not doing that. But people need to be aware that this is not a sandbox they can run untrusted code in.
That's interesting. Does it work for any processes at all? Would you be interested in trying to reproduce it with the latest Frida from git?

Do you see what I did there?
This is rather unsettling as I have never asked for an employee record from anyone before.

I have thought to run a background check before. However, I didn't know or have the time to find out back then where to request one. I know there are a lot of sites out there who apparently generate a report for you for a price. I just didn't know if any were particularly reputable.
You are right to be concerned about such things -- the 1911 is notorious for jamming frequently. Specifically the ejector mechanism; if the gun is not held steady after firing, the spent cartridge tends to get jammed between the barrel and the slide. This is even more common among people with small hands since they don't have the leverage to handle the recoil of a relatively beefy .45 cartridge.

This is the primary reason why the army replaced the 1911 with the Baretta M9, a 9mm pistol with much less recoil and a larger magazine size. The M9 is much less prone to jamming for a number of reasons, but the bullet is much lighter and has significantly less stopping power. A .45 round will generally put someone on their ass even if it doesn't kill them from kinetic energy alone; the same can't be said for a 9mm.
> My resume is a disaster because I'm bad at writing them.

Make it one page. Stick to things they actually care about. Yes, this means tailoring it to each opportunity. This also means leaving things out... that's okay, I remember in my last resume leaving off some ancient Java experience from college that didn't seem relevant at the time. It became a pleasant surprise for them when they discovered that I knew more than was on the page and we started discussing the usage of JAD.

Your goal is no typos, no informal/slang language and one, neatly written page. It should look neat, clean and uniform.

You should imagine that they have a spreadsheet or checklist (they do) that matches the ad. You want to help them check off as many boxes as possible as easily as possible. Then help them do the same thing in the interview.

When you don't know, discuss what you'd do to find out. Show them what you've learned in the past and how you've figured out problems before that look like problems they're having now.

In my last interview, they started asking me what I knew about REST and I started describing the last RESTful interface I'd made. Things went very well from there.

I hope this helps.
"Docker does not support user namespaces"[1] so root inside a container == root on the host. Getting security right with user namespaces is hard though[2].

And as another commenter pointed out, you can't give a user permission to actually start a docker container without also giving them root access to the host.

You may want to engage a resume writing service. I know people who have used them and gotten good results.

I could totally see a "disaster" resume being a big problem. A week or two after the interview, people's impressions of you have started to fade and blend with those of the other candidates, but your resume is still in front of them in black and white.

Hello! Thanks for checking it out.

The reason the landing page sucks is because Ballistic wasn't really intended to be a product. I created it mainly for two reasons:

1. I made a simpler version of the app before to learn node and found myself using it often. I wanted a version with more features and so I created Ballistic.

2. I wanted to use it as a portfolio item I could reference when applying to jobs which require Node/Angular.

I still think you're right though, so I quickly updated the landing page. Hopefully it's a little more clear now.

Former coworkers are hard to track down but all have written recommendations for me in the past. Some are on the LinkedIn page. I have no project portfolio. I don't really know how to put one together.

I like asking random people on the internet because my former managers and co-workers can't figure out why I have been unemployed for so long either.

You're taking what I said out-of-context. Blanket legal generalisations don't work well.

A lawyer is necessary because you need an expert in law's complexities. This is a fairly reasonable generalisation: the vast majority of people do not have sufficient knowledge of law to represent themselves well.

A well-known saying in legal circles: "A lawyer who defends himself has a fool for a client."
You might enjoy http://codefirefox.com/.
Basically, all the clients that connect to an Xserver has full trust in each other. You can sniff on any event sent to any client, and send fake events (that are not detectable as fake) to any client, as well as read all the contents of any windows. This essentially means any client can do whatever the user can do.

People have tried to make it more secure in various ways (trusted X, selinux X), but it is impossible because so much of the way X does things like DnD, cut-and-paste, window managers, etc that its just not possible to separate clients from each other without the entire thing breaking.
Yes, I am aware of and use some of these. I have an ex co-worker who is still a close friend and a developer who is always giving me advice and helping me find these kinds of resources.

The financial thing was more about certification training, as I was (mistakenly) under the impression that they carried more weight and would open more doors for me. Especially in the Security realm.

I had also looked at things like bloc.io but who really has that much money for that kind of training on their own? Thank you for the response!
Carefull critisism of the basic idea of an event like this without trying to start a flame war is somthing that should be allowed though. We all know that things like these are issues that are part of a bigger issue (the lack of women in tech). But all issues surounding something like this should be addressed. Even if the critisism is pointed at attempts at solving/adressing these issues.

Like the trowaway account said/hopefully tried to say; segregation/discrimination is never the answer.

I would like to leave it at that before I aswell get accused of trying to start a flame war.

I always thought that guns jamming was for things getting stuck in the barrel or failing to fire.

After watching this site I noticed that jam is... mechanical issues, SPECIALLY with the slide, on this weapon, I believed this weapon had a special semi-auto mechanism, that is, that something ensured the slide would slide back, after seeing it slides back purely from recoil I concluded two things:

One, it is a hell of a recoil... (otherwise the slide would not slide back).

Two, it only works if you don't let the gun go backwards, if you shoot, and allow it to go back, the energy of the recoil will be spent by your body, not the slide, thus the slide won't slide, thus you will have to slide manually... Making it very non-semi-auto.

Also I noticed the ejector also rely on some small machined parts (like the one that hold the cartridge rim), and thus if not made properly will probably fail (the slide will go back but the cartridge won't go back with it, this probably would be the sort of jam that is an actual jam, you would need to push the cartridge out with another object).

And the amount of springs I am seeing around, mean cyclic fatigue failure of the metal probably causes a couple of issues, I think that a frequently fired gun probably more than cleaning also might require frequent change of springs.
Perhaps nothing, but at that point you'll be able to tell if the data is arbitrary by attempting to decrypt it without having to entrust your keys to a potentially compromised device.

Citing Einstein as a prototypical example is somehow conceding the parent's point, don't you think?

> You would be surprised how many lawyers I've talked to that would have failed out of a first semester course on formal logic.

This I can believe; but then, law has very little to do with formal systems and the sort of informal "logic" used in legal reasoning is absolutely uninformed by anything but the first week or so of a standard intro to mathematical logic course (most legal theory/systems pre-date the advent of modern logic in the late 19th century).

> You'll find proponents of testing who might not actually like TDD.

One alternative I've heard about is bug-driven testing. Whenever the code doesn't work as expected, write a test verifying the desired behavior. The reasoning was that the functionality was clearly fragile or complex, and therefore more likely to be accidentally broken in the future.
Wow, that's pretty cool. I would have never expected someone to find the repo on their own like that.

I've considered posting on reddit, but most subreddits (including that one) have rules against "self promotion", which they might think I'm doing.

This is a great idea. I think the criticisms should be more ideas for improvement because this is definitely the future.
