  • If a person is at the intro/intermediate level that advice may be sound enough. Since they’re less likely to apply proper rules to include those ranges of IP’s etc.

    Assuming it’s advising disabling it at the router/switch level and not just a per device level.

    Better would be to explain: Disable this until you’re familiar with the following concepts (see cited books/material for more info)







  • It’s not at all. I’m saying it was good then and it is now.

    It’s gotten heavier and more technical but that’s because as it goes on you learn and it gets deeper. And yet they still find a way to make it accessible even though they’re obviously still only scratching the surface.

    As a counter point via science is really good but tries to avoid the deep math as much as possible while explaining the concepts behind it. All the while it’s been pure science and less of the popular topic as a way to introduce the science.



  • Imagine, if you will. A world where string reverse changes the character codes of the string.

    What beauty, what wonder would such a world have?

    Destruction and despair. Developers unsure why their programs don’t respond correctly. Ships run aground on islands already overcrowded with those who were shipwrecked before. Signal antennas pointed towards the sun with it’s constant noise. Spacecraft whose exhaust melt to slag populated cities as people briefly scream their final terrors of pain and suffering.

    This, is a world we should not want to live in. A world you can only find, in the Twilight Zone.









  • There’s a psychological stress with work that can take some time to slough off.

    Some people don’t want to log out of work and be grumpy or distracted during family time.

    That being said having a process or system as a habit to denote work/home is a good alternative.

    A 10 minute walk, a change of clothes, or some song you play, anything that creates a mental delineation. So the annoyance from that way too long meeting asking why something isn’t done (4 hours a day giving out status updates isn’t helping) doesn’t come out on the family.
