There comes a point in your career when the single most impactful thing you can produce that improves security in your organization...is a slide deck that persuades leadership.
@mttaggart this is the single biggest thing that I learned post-certification. Nothing you know or suggest or jump up and down screaming about will matter a whit if you can’t sell the idea.
I love how Quark seems to sell food and drink in his bar except it is usually all replicated on a standard food replicator - the same type as dozens of others that are all over the station and are apparently free to use by anyone??
🧱 The Lego D&D set is such a love letter to both Lego and D&D. So many tiny details. Hidden treasure, secret doors, actual traps, lurking monsters, all of it. Even the monsters are the ludicrous classics. Owl Bear, Beholder, GELATINOUS CUBE.
I know criticizing C is like, yesterday's pastime, and the syntax I'm criticizing is probably from the seventies, but I hate in particular that the pointer-type's syntax is
type *name
no no no. That contains an address. How else do I get things to contain an address? the & operator, not the * operator
@fernandomorgan@gregvr@ChateauErin the issue with this is that if you declare multiple variables on the same line (I don’t, don’t @ me on this), only the first one gets the pointer type because C. It’s bonkers. It’s totally a type thing and should be syntactically attached to the type regardless of how you like formatting it.
@todrobbins@Meyerweb reminds me that automatically deleting emails is considered a corporate best practice. Reduces storage cost as well as cost of filtering and labeling data when you’re going through the discovery part of a legal case, and — not explicitly in the CISSP study material — reduces the likelihood of you being convicted for past crimes.
Have you thought atall, for even a minute, about the business model of OpenAI?
In one sentence: "We will take every actual human-created content, the golden egg, from everyone, without permission, and then we will use it to sell plausible made-up shit, simultaneously choking out the creation of all new human-created content, the goose."
Ponzi was vastly more sophisticated than this.
I've long regarded extractive capitalism as corrupt, but I had no idea they were all so stupid.
@hazelweakly@GeePawHill apologists and evangelists keep saying things about emergent properties, but you’re starting with what is - to a first approximation - the sum total of human knowledge in the English language and you get… something that can do a passable shitpost poem about version control or spit out marketing drivel? Yes, that’s more than is obvious from the linear algebra and weights, but look where you started!
Sometimes a "wandering trader" come up to you in Minecraft and it's very annoying since he has llamas that make noise and can get in the way. Most players just kill him.
It would be nice if Minecraft added a "goodbye" button that would cause him to leave. Or even a "go away button"
All the murder is both funny and it does not sit well with me.
