Never judge someone without knowing the whole story. You may think you understand, but you don't.

[Shaz @shazcodes]

a friend of mine died last year. worked in tech. 😐

he was 28. nobody from his company came to the funeral.

his slack account was deactivated before the obituary was published.

within 2 weeks, someone else had his job title.

i don't say this to be dark.

i say this because we give companies our health, our nights, our anxiety
and they give us a title that outlives us by 72 hours.

Nobody tells you the hardest part about quitting something you’ve done for most of your life happens after you quit.

For my whole adult life, cs was the only thing I ever truly cared about. Every routine I had, every goal, most of the people I talked to, everything in my life somehow revolved around CS, i feel like my identity was cs.

Now I work, I study, I try to keep busy, but I still feel empty all the time? I keep trying to find new things and hobbies to care about, but nothing feels interesting and I end up comparing everything to competing.

How does people find new things that makes them happy and gives them some kind of purpose?

Many people have claimed that with AI-assisted bug finding, secure code (and hence trustless anything) will be impossible.

I have a much more optimistic take, and AI-assisted formal verification is a major part of the reason why:

Competitive gaming is the most meritocratic standardized test in the world...

...and the most ignored

@NaToSaphiX @FACEIT How would you benefit from this, you're at your best hardstuck 2999 elo anyways.

Nobody cares outside of t1 CS unfortunately, but being someone who played so much t2 CS and got fucked over multiple times I feel like I have to speak out

Some of these clips against @ENCE are disgusting. Players flanking instantly in places whilst their crosshairs are absolutely all over the place in 5v5 situations where the decision making makes no sense whatsoever. Players who look like level 6 Faceit making the most incredible reads in key moments to find round deciding space and frags

We need some common sense going on here. What reasoning is there to be flanking with your crosshair aiming almost at the sky if it's not to look somewhere other than at your monitor? In these high risk moments of pushing into opponent territory why are these nobodies acting as though they are unkillable?

And then they'll go on to get 13-2'd in their next games and do it all over again when they are underdogs

It can't keep happening. Genuine rosters die when these losses happen, I've made roster changes in the past when we've lost to blatent cheaters and lost all confidence in the way we play due to how many gaps were perfectly exploited at all moments

We have to do better. Don't let these players profit from cheating and match fixing. We NEED tier 2 CS to produce talent, and we can't be losing talent because they get caught up in match fixing when they don't know better and get caught up in the wrong crowd when they are vulnerable. At some point something has to change and it feels like we are going nowhere

With no player union and ESIC absent we aren't together in this at all. Where do we go from here to fix this?

Check out the clips from @cl_fisico if you want to see them for yourself, they are laughable to players with experience

[Victor @razbatten]

@denicmarko Is this deterministic? If yes why? If not why not?

@xolqnii @RapidRL Packet filtering, firewalls, handling packets so crashing / ddosing the server is more difficult. I have more important things to focus on than explaining this to randoms. Get educated

[Charles Pick @c_pick]

I'm really looking forward to everyone writing SQL directly in their react components. Genuinely! In a few years there's going to be so much money to be made cleaning up this mess, it'll put my kids through university. More of this nonsense please!

How well you slept last night and when you felt sleepy to go to bed, and how you felt on waking are MAINLY controlled by how early and how much sunlight you viewed before 10am in the preceding 2-3 days. Other factors matter but that’s the biggie folks.
Non-negotiable biology.

I think the easiest way to know if someone is an infosec nerd is to show them any of these numbers without context and see what their reaction is:

0x4141414141

It doesn’t matter what you eat; if you eat too much (volume) of food, you’ll be tired. It’s called blood flow diversion. Eat to 85% full and you’ll avoid this source of fatigue. #science
