It’s weird how defensive people get over their cannonball road trips. It’s great to take a few minutes on a break while taking a long trip.

I was trying to think of a way to trick him into planting bamboo in his yard, but those are good.

If I see comments explaining every other line, especially describing “what” instead of “why”, I assume the code was written by a recent grad and is going to be bad. Describing what you are doing looks like you are doing a homework assignment.

Like on that line, obviously we’re initializing a variable, but why 1 instead of 0? Could be relevant to a loop somewhere else, but I guess I’ll have to figure that out by reading the code anyways.

It’s like Dwight printing IOUs for Schrutebucks

What tech field though? Software? Cloud? AI/ML? Security?

In all those scenarios though, the cert in question would be listed as something else. It’s not that I’m against Coursera or think it’s a bad platform.

There are a lot of certs out there and most of them are worthless, and a lot of them happen to be on Coursera, I guess. I’ve talked to people who had AWS certs and couldn’t explain the difference between S3 and EBS. Certs just don’t mean much.

Once you get your first job, the certs of all kinds just become resume fluff, but since you are pursuing your first job, they might be useful.

As an interviewer, I think that certs are only useful if you take the test with a different company than you studied with. So I don’t think I’d care if you have a coursera cert, because I’d assume it just meant you finished the course that you paid for.

What certs are you thinking about doing, and more importantly, what are you looking to get out of them? I know “a job”, but what kind of job are you looking for?

But blockchains get “bad” records added all the times. Database entries and blockchain blocks are both equally as susceptible to bad business logic making incorrect entries. No business is going to adopt a sales recording system that doesn’t allow them to control the entries and to reverse the entries they don’t agree with.

Haha, yeah. I guess that’s ironic that I’m taking a stance against Starbucks with a username like this.

It’s funny comparing tobacco to an actual addictive stimulant, coffee, and decided sugar is the problem. I say as I drink my black coffee in the morning.

Whatever it takes to get you away from Starbucks seems like a win though.

It looks like someone let their cat do the typing for the footer there. Is that a real language at the bottom?

I think you should understand that if you are opening ports to the wide internet, you are putting yourself and anyone else on your network at risk. You’re playing with fire here.

I have this setup with Tailscale so that I can watch plex from anywhere, without exposing ports to devices that I don’t trust and I can help you if you want. But don’t expose 80 to the internet.

I do Tailscale on every device, but they also have a Funnel service that might work for you

Maybe look into Tailscale. At the end of the day, someone needs to open up the ports, but Tailscale does it strictly to negotiate a VPN connection between two devices, so they don’t see the traffic that goes over the tunnel.

It actually doesn’t, because the drive won’t “let” you overwrite the reserve space. That’s why they introduced SSD secure erase, so the firmware knows that you mean to overwrite everything.

Alternatively you could just use full disk encryption and burn the key when you are done.

I think there is also a ground disturbance component to it. I noticed that around me, new neighborhoods didn’t have a lot while older neighborhoods and undisturbed areas had a lot.

For anyone wondering what a document should look like, the DoD publishes that for anyone to read. Just search Derivative Classifier Training. Spoiler alert: this ain’t what a top secret document looks like.

Just do it. It’s not hard, it just takes time to learn all the pieces and how they fit together.

How have I never seen that before. It’s perfection
