Interesting. Does anyone know of anything else like this out there?
killnine··on Code together in real time with Teletype for Atom
Really gave atom a hard try. Back to notepad after a few months. The add-ons are the only advantage, but are grossly overshadowed by the resource consumption this behemoth requires.

I've had trouble finding recruiters in general.

How do you find yours? Or do they find you?

killnine··on Do not let your CDN betray you: Use Subresource Integrity
Simple, yet seemingly effective. As long as the hash the browser is checking matches the hash the server produced, the only options to beat this that I see are hash collision and bypassing the mechanism.

killnine··on Hackers Wanted: An Examination of the Cybersecurity Labor Market (2014) [pdf]
I personally have difficulty finding postings. While my resources do include the normal hiring places, I find that both the amount of "cybersecurity" posts in the normal places and the amount of "cybersecurity"-geared hiring places, are surprising low.

Maybe my difficulty lies in my perceived demand quantities versus postings I find.

With every HN Whos Hiring thread, I tell myself I need to write a tool to filter the posts based on buzz words, because scanning hundreds of the job openings for "security", "penetration", and the like is a major pain.

I've been meaning to read this www.gatesnotes.com/Books/Big-History-From-the-Big-Bang-to-the-Present but then found your comment for http://www.amazon.com/Sapiens-A-Brief-History-Humankind/prod... and now after reading the 1-star reviews from both, I want neither.

Suggestions for a purely subjective read?

killnine··on Four Areas of Legal Ripe for Disruption by Smart Startups
I know some about it. As it stands right now, law firms need to find, trust, and pay forensic investigators. The firm has to leave some data collection up to the investigator, and then have some data turned over. By data, I mean hard drives, images of hard drives, images of network shares, email exchanges, etc.

The law firm has to pay for the data collection, the disk space to store the data, the transmission of data back and forth (investigator found something good, buys external HD, ships it via the mail), the data analysis, the investigation and reporting, and then sometimes the expert witness.

Sometimes, the law firm does not know what they're looking for, in other words, there is no smoking gun piece of data. Sometimes, the goal is to find something, anything, that would hint, point, or prove a goal.

What this means is that a retainer can either be here is 10hours worth of analysis/investigation to find the email we know was sent that contains this particular text. They do not plan on the analysis and investigation to exceed that and usually the result is we found it/didn't find it and we did it in the time allotted or under the time.

It can also be, "we're looking for evidence that this type of event has occurred". This is where the billed-hours start stacking up. Its hard enough digging through other people's emails, documents, and pictures looking for something, let alone digging without having something in particular to look for.

The point is, I believe that they, the law firms, want to, and need to, bring this in house. This greatly improves the process. But now they need security, real security, because its not their data being stored, it is their client's client's data and so forth. It becomes very sensitive.

They need infrastructure. They need to be able to forensically acquire data. Forensically store data. Forensically analyse data. Forensically share data. The infrastructure needs to be fast, easy, and effecient. We're seeing 6TB hard drives now... shares of much, much larger size. And they do not want to be storing their client's data in someone else's cloud.

Then they either need technicians and investigators or the ability to hire and grant access to their data on their network to the tech/investigator. They need technicians to provide solutions to the inevitable problems run into (i.e. how can I acquire each of the 2 drives in this FusionDrive raid and return to the lab and build the raid on something other than osX?) And they need investigators experienced at honing in on relevant data while digging through vast troves of data.

killnine··on Why Plan 9 is not dead yet and what we can learn from it (2005) [pdf]
it is absolutely not a ludacris dream. I've been dreaming it for years. All my machines run linux. As long as I'm NOT on a phone or tablet, I sign in, ssh, restore tmux/screen session, and pull X via xpra.

Why my phone is unable to be a terminal to all my other machines is beyond me.

I should have 1 hard drive and 1 "computer", and 1 desktop. Every other machine should be a window to this desktop.

At least... in my dream world.

Point is, thus far they have not, and their first choice was not what the author views as more secure.
