Whats the opposite of gothic? I'm in love with comp sci anti-gothic where it's just people being surprisingly polite and nice and funny through computers. A program's first lines are always "Hello world!". SMTP protocols apparently say "hello, pleased to meet you" to each other to establish a connection with a handshake. Python has a different version called Andaconda, which has a smaller version called miniconda. C++ is just C continuously improving on itself, because the ++ operator means to add one onto a previous value, and C# is two ++ stacked on top of each other. Lawmakers have to talk about the ethics of saving "cookies" to computers because one guy liked fortune cookies and decided to call them that. The internet itself wasn't created with security in mind because it was just meant to be a way for a group of people who trusted each other using it to send each other information, and so on, and so forth

Night studies are just the coziest 💤🌙

Almost done with the video part of studying for Network+. After this, it’s onto the vendor material.

How do I leave the US? I can't live here anymore. I'm an IT student and would love to move to Europe. I'd love to go to Germany specifically. It would be great to learn the language and continue my education at the University of Munich in München, Germany.

Anyone done this one yet?

This is so goddamn real, I once saw an unnamed company DDoS itself multiple times in one week because they didn't take into account how their network would be affected by forcing OS patches across the entire fleet through their VPN if they happened all at the exact same time.

And the person who knew how to script the staggering so that wouldn't happen had been laid off because they cost too much less than a year prior.

Definitely, there is a time for everything.

I was desperate not long ago, so I decided to quit all my hobbies to study really hard, or at least 4 hours a day like I did during my graduation (I graduated in IT Management). The main thing I discovered is that even if I don't get the job I want, the person I will become—someone with real knowledge of the Software Engineering process, from the bare bones to deployment—will be worth it and enjoyable to become.

Because of this, I started to perform better in interviews and made new friends on Discord servers for programming languages.

Okay, I’m not saying that everyone will be surrounded by friends by studying like this, we need a pretty time alone to accomplish many things. But the point is, the more you talk about it, the more you attract things related to it.

India has warned tech companies that it is prepared to impose bans if they fail to take active measures against deepfake videos, a senior government minister said, on the heels of warning by a well-known personality over a deepfake advertisement using his likeness to endorse a gaming app. The stern warning comes as New Delhi follows through on advisory last November of forthcoming regulations to identify and restrict propagation of deepfake media. Rajeev Chandrasekhar, Deputy IT Minister, said the ministry plans to amend the nation’s IT Rules by next week to establish definitive laws counteracting deepfakes. He expressed dissatisfaction with technology companies’ adherence to earlier government advisories on manipulative content.

It's been a bit but a lot has happened recently. I passed the Network+ certification about two weeks ago. Since then, I've picked up my web development class again aiming to finish before I start a new job in a couple of weeks. I rediscovered? a cute coffee shop near my house to study at and I spent about two hours there today. The coffee was a 7/10. I nearly finished the 5th chapter of my online textbook. I'm ready to be done with this class.

A bit of a different question, but what does IT do in AAA? I feel like most game developers are pretty tech savvy.

While it's true that many game developers are tech savvy, there's more to IT than just keeping a workstation running. IT at game companies does the same thing that IT does at any tech company - they set up, maintain, and make decisions about tech solutions for an organization. That might mean choosing whether to use Discord or Slack, Jira or Trello, Zoom or Teams, and integrating all of the various elements into each other, like being able to launch Zoom from Slack, or integrating Slack bots to pull data from Jira to post it in the chat channel. They are also key in operational security by setting up software solutions for protecting against (and taking care of) viruses and malware.

Basically, having some experts to give direction helps free up the rest of us from having to think about IT and able to focus on our own work. We might be able to do some of this, but it's better to have it set up for us consistently across the studio than leaving us to each try our hand at countless inconsistent versions of the same workflow, especially since screwing it up could sacrifice a lot of productivity while the IT issues get ironed out.
