After years sharing thoughts on software engineering, I've decided to follow a long-standing passion:

Geopolitics.

AI changed the game—and so did my interests.

Try learning Design Experience with Google's courses. After 50 hours, you'll know a ton of BS like inclusive or equity design, but you still won’t know how to style a button.

Why do all React lecturers seem to have issues with salivation and the need for constant hydration?

@svpino Code related to complex domains certainly benefits from some well-placed comments.

Time to revisit this gem. Understanding concepts like event ordering and logical clocks is essential for building reliable, scalable apps. Far more important than learning the latest trendy JavaScript framework.

One of my favorite graphs ever. It shows the progression of artificial neural networks (red) compared to the number of neurons in various life forms (yellow). From sponges to humans, we're scaling up towards complexity. Hold on humans, we're catching up!

Andrew Tate online university, wtf?

[vx-underground @vxunderground]

Yesterday night (or early morning November 22nd depending on where you reside), it was unveiled an unknown Threat Actor(s) had compromised Andrew Tate's online university, dubbed "The Real World (Hustler's University)".

Note(s):
1. The content was given to non-profit organization DDoSecrets (unable to tag on X due to their account being suspended) and is available for anyone to review

2. Upon compromise (and exfiltration of data, presumably), the individual(s) responsible for the compromise inserted pro-transgender emojis onto the site and uploaded AI photos of Andrew Tate with a transgender flag. The compromise of Andrew Tate's website appears to be ideologically motivated, not financially motivated

3. Upon review of the compromised data we spotted some inconsistencies with reporting from media outlets. Some media outlets have stated the stolen data contains over 325,000 user email addresses. However, upon review we do not see email addresses UNLESS the users actual username on the website was their email address. We only spotted a few thousand (see image 1)

The file in the leaked, "users.json", contains the following:
- Unique UserID
- Username
- External UserID
- Score (reputation)
- Coin balance (forum based currency)
- Server (unsure)
- "User" (unsure)
- Join Date
- Roles

Other fields visible, which appear to be optional entries based on users interaction with the website:
- Profile content
- "Learnv2"
- Avatar

Also present in the compromise is chat logs from both public and private rooms. These rooms include:
- AI Automation
- Business Mastery
- Content Creation & AI Campus
- Copywriting
- Crypto DeFi
- Crypto Trading
- Cryptocurrency Investing
- ECommerce
- Fitness
- Hustler's Campus
- Social Media & Client Acquisition
- The Real World

Each room described has a both public and private variant. We briefly skimmed the contents of these and can confirm they have unfathomable amounts of chat logs and conversations. In the spirit of full disclosure: we are not going to review and/or read these chat logs. They are massive. In summary: the dumped conversations are legit.

As a disclaimer: it may be possible that email addresses and more sensitive information is in the chat logs. We have not reviewed this in totality to confirm that (we don't feel like it).

Reading this paper about why TCP might not be the best fit for datacenters. It argues that fundamental issues like stream orientation and sender-driven congestion control make it inefficient. Worth checking out. https://t.co/yFEuseSvdp

Individuals and interactions over processes and tools.

Working software over comprehensive documentation.

Customer collaboration over contract negotiation.

Responding to change over following a plan. #Agile
