YouTube looks to be testing server-side ad injection to counter ad blockers
  • I signed up for a family plan a couple years ago and it's honestly one of the last subscriptions I would cancel. I can justify it by the literally hundreds of hours of watching ads me and my family would have been subjected to otherwise.

  • Mentorship Monday - Discussions for career and learning!
  • It's an odd position to be in; I work in the private sector but my company deals almost exclusively with government and NGO contracts, so at times I feel like I'm public sector.

    What I've noticed is that even though the desired outcome is nearly identical for both sectors, the buzz words associated with each is what determines who responds to my job applications. As an example:

    Private: IaC and Policy-as-Code, supply chain and software composition analysis, SAST, DAST, etc.

    Public: Compliance automation, risk management frameworks, risk quantification (this one has generated a lot of excitement recently), etc.

    This is purely anecdotal, but you may find adjusting your resume to include some of these buzzwords as applicable to the industry to which you are applying may help you get your foot in the door.

    To reiterate, yes I know in the end all of these companies strive toward the same goals, whether it be passing audits or being able to demonstrate prudent security practices to clients, sometimes the hiring manager is looking for specific terminology and will discard any applications that exclude it.

  • SGE, ChatGPT and the likes are the stupidest thing to come from AI
  • LLM just autocomplete on steroid.

    Funny you should say this. I only have anecdotal evidence from me and a few friends, but the general consensus is that autocomplete and predictive text are much worse now than they used to be.

  • I saw a job post to be Kylo Ren's chauffeur

    I'm thinking of applying, but I don't want to be typecast as Adam Driver

    The Boogeyman (2023) | Discussion

    As with most films I went into this completely blind and it turned out to be one of my favorites of 2023. While not super original, the acting is top notch, set design is phenomenal, and atmosphere is pretty unsettling at times.

    Creepy monster design will make you check the closets tonight. Anyone with kids might find this one tough to watch in some parts.

    Who here is making money 3D printing?

    I am a hobbyist, and my job will probably never require me to design and print anything for work.

    I do really enjoy the process of conceptualizing, designing, and printing, and have done so for myself and some close acquaintances.

    I've spent many hours/days learning the tools of the trade and was wondering if there was an opportunity to make some money as a side gig. Has anyone been successful doing this, and how did you go about it?

    Here are a couple of my early designs, I plan to upload more once I clean things up a bit.
