So #infosec #jobs thread.
In the last 12 months, I've been involved with 60+ interviews for various SOC, IR etc roles. This has come from about 120+ CV/Resume submissions.
To start, a caveat though - this is all IMHO. Hiring is an amazingly individual event.

First CV length. The common wisdom is that it has to be under 2 pages and very tailored to the role. I disagree. A CV should be concise but it also needs to provide enough information to make the hiring manager want to speak to you. If there is an HR screen, it needs to contain

a tonne of possibly random keywords. If a job advert asks for 10 different skills, and you can fit this in to 1-2 pages, chances are the person reading it will find it missing detail and think it is unconvincing. If it's your first job a 1 page CV is ok but the more you've done

the longer your CV gets. I don't have a perfect answer but I'd say don't fret about it. A large part of the hiring process is automated and even the people who read it will read it online scrolling through to get to the bits they are interested in. Long CVs rarely put people off.

Sidenote: if they do, they are likely to be difficult to work with so you might be OK with them rejecting you after all.

Autism and meltdowns - what are they and how can you help?

A thread. Please read and share widely. As always, based on my own experiences.

#autism #autistic #Meltdown

Autistic people are stressed. *Very* stressed. Take it from me - our existence is generally peppered with moments of calm on a backdrop of continual tension and intense stress. The reasons for this are complex. /2

Our senses are often way too sensitive, meaning we live assaulted by intense sensory input - sound, vision, smell, touch and so forth. This means our base level stress is always much higher than most folks. /3

We are also usually struggling to make sense of social communication in a way neurotypical people don't need to worry about. Often we have to put actual brainwork into every interaction, as nothing seems to come naturally to us. Even with friends or loved ones. /4

So our glass of stress is very frequently filled to the absolute brim, and it doesn't take very much for us to spill over into a kind of 'post-stress' state, and I guess that's what we call meltdown. /5 #autistic

#MakeAbleistsUncomfortable pretty much all of abled culture's ideas and ideals about humanity and society are profoundly ableist. Read what disabled people have written. Listen to what we have said. Start unlearning that shit now, and continue doing so.

All the ways abled culture idealises ability and non-disabled ways of being, valorises the super-able (e.g. in superheroes and athletes) and envisions the future as a place of enhanced abilities, the worship of certain kinds of communicative ability as "charisma" - all this

unquestioning adoration of ability and idealisation of super-ability contributes to the degradation of disabled people, is at least eugenics-adjacent in its idea of whose bodies and minds are better, and if it continues to go unquestioned disabled people will continue to be

perceived as having lesser bodies and minds, lesser lives, lesser value (that people have differing levels of "value" is an icky concept in general), and the future will continue to be built of the same ableist crap as the past and the present.

Question what you value and idealise, in yourself and others and your ideas about the future and what society should be, what humans should be and could be. Are you factoring disabled people - in all our radical, nuanced, diverse existence - into it? Have you looked to see if

SO....
About that "inevitable" Democrat over-reach that always
BLOWS UP INTO THEIR GREEDY FACES....

Yeah, they're not going to (politically) survive this.

The evidence is mounting that what we witnessed yesterday was an attempted coup (related terms are “insurrection” and “sedition”). 1/10

But it is important to note that the bad actors involved in the events can be sent to jail (for up to twenty years) for something that falls short of an attempted coup and is easier to prove in court: obstruction of justice. 2/10

The relevant federal statute is 18 U.S.C. § 1512--a statute, you might recall, that figures prominently in the Mueller Report. 3/10

Bill Barr, who wanted to construe the statute narrowly, contested Mueller’s interpretation of the statute. There is a lengthy reply to Barr’s construction (which I think might have been written by Michael Dreeben) in the Report. 4/10

The Report establishes conclusively that Barr’s interpretation violates every known principle of statutory construction, and it is fun to read the Report and see Barr get *destroyed* on this point. 5/10

So I was thinking about yesterday, and what it's safe to talk about with respect to work. I'm gonna take *some* risk here, but ... essentially, I'm not a ROM hacker or an emudev. Those are hobbies. My specific talent is reverse engineering, which is a much more broad category.

Not all ROM hackers are reverse engineers. There are level editors, generic compression tools, script editors, hex editors, etc that can be used. Most emudevs are also not reverse engineers; instead they rely on documentation, test ROMs, and emulator source to make their emus.

In fact, that's how I made all my other higan cores. But my fan translations, and bsnes, that was reverse engineering. I have taken apart a good 30% of Bahamut Lagoon and completely replaced entire menu systems with my own code. When I started on the SNES, ...

The information was just *barely* past what the SNES developer manuals contained. I took us from opcode-accuracy to sub-cycle accuracy (clock edge accurate.) Every emulator since was based on bsnes: Super Nt, MiSTer, Mesen-S, etc. They all used my code and research.

But what got me noticed was reverse engineering the NEC uPD and contributing that code to Stephen Hawking's voice emulator. My hobbies, unfortunately, are just not profitable. Only Yuzu can earn money like that. What the head hunter wanted with me was reverse engineering mastery.

One way to fan Railaphobia was to ascribe to him mystic powers. He took Uhuru and Ruto to Hague; he incites teachers to strike etc. Sixth thread – LONG THREAD, YOU CAN DISCARD

Having suffered so much under Moi who used state power to sabotage the whole economy and foster impunity, you would have expected the Kikuyu to all be on the frontline championing democracy and rule of law. So that nobody suffers again state victimization

In the last thread we have seen how Kikuyus ganged up against ICC to ensure Uhuru went scot-free – “Uhuru ni witu,” was the clarion call that we exported to The Hague

Just then Kikuyu now became the biggest enemy of democracy. Human rights activists filed a case in court to have Uhuru and Ruto barred from vying for public office as per chapter 6 of the new constitution. The Kikuyu were openly hostile to the court system. Ni matutigithie...

Having worked so hard to have a new constitution to ensure things that happened to the Kikuyu under Moi never happen again, Kikuyu became the biggest haters to the new constitution. That is was the first backward step for the country – courtesy of the Kikuyu

The Aftermaths of visiting an ancient ruin. A visit to ruins. Ghosts of the ancient past and the frightful events thereafter. Lost memory. A real life story and a Vedic Jyotiśa Perspective.

The monuments from the ancient past lure a large number of tourist from all round the

world. People love visiting the ancient ruins. Some people are thrilled at the mere mention of such places. The romanticism and thrill of seeing an ancient structure is bewildering for some. People also get attracted to more thrilling experiences like the Catacombs of Paris, the

prison of Alcataraz or Eastern State Penitentiary, Philadelphia.
However, there is a hidden problem with all these ancient structures. These structures have been the domains of old and powerful entities. These places and structures have been witness to many dreadful incidents as

well. The incidents with their intensity and ghastliness remain in the form of energy at that respective place. The problem with energy is that, the energy is neither created and it is never destroyed. It just changes into different forms. These ruins hold concentrated dreadful

power zones that have gained power because of the long time factor and intensity of the incidents. These negative energies are like contagious virus that can inflict the weaker neurological reflexes. They can even possess people, without even a single hint.
I have found that

How to get the best image performance (Updated 2021)

1️⃣ Use `width` and `height` to prevent layout shift
2️⃣ Lazy-load images as they enter the viewport
