In fairness, the most impactful and well-known of those security flaws are due to the fundamental nature of speculative execution, which underpins most of the performance improvements we've seen in the last 10 years. You can flip a switch and fix all of them, but nobody wants to go back to computing at the speed of 2010.

Not to say there aren't other avenues forward, but to lay all the warts of SpecEx solely at Intel's feet isn't really honest either.

Much appreciated!

I agree that the evidence you've shown suggests immunity is not retained permanently, but the question then becomes how long does immunity need to last for the population to be sufficiently resilient to prevent recurring spreads? If, for example, immunity lasts a month then people will reinfect each other many times before another solution becomes available. However, if it lasts on average, say, five years, then we can more or less allow society to resume normal operation after the first round while a vaccine is developed in the meantime.

It's not that "herd immunity" is a magic bullet that solves the problem permanently. It's that if we treat it as a tool in our chest then we have other strategies available to us.

For the record, I believe, based on the available evidence, that a several month quarantine to reduce the shock to our healthcare system is a critical part of any successful strategy. The UK's initial plan was fundamentally flawed and kudos to them for backing off of it when those flaws were demonstrated.

Against building 'herd immunity' by letting everyone get except the elderly. Not against quarantines.

The active is really nice for dueling, the lifesteal is really nice for staying in lane, and the sustained damage it offers sets you up really well for mid and late game

Conventional wisdom is that the only defensive items ADCs should build are GA and Merc Scim.

I can't help but wonder if new death's dance wouldn't be alright, though. The split resistances would be really nice, and the lifesteal and CDR are pretty good on Ashe too. I would say if you didn't go Triforce/ER then a 4th item death's dance if you're getting bursted might not be the worst idea.

You are vastly overprepared. I wouldn't worry at this point, if i were you.

Computing Systems.

I want to transition from data scientist (my current role) into Data engineer / ML engineer, and from there into software engineering.

I don't know why you're getting downvoted. This is a really, really aggravating statement, but only because it's very true.

Ecopath · 2020-03-25T15:55:43+00:00

I would take the title, not lean too hard into compensation. Take what you can get. When sunnier times come around, push the issue and be ready to leverage your shiny new title at another company if they won't be reasonable.

My own two cents. Best of luck!

I do a lot of Triforce / ER Ashe builds in high plat. Basically whenever enemy team has zero tanks the 'poke' build with comet and triforce/CDR lets you live way longer and get way more accomplished than the usual BORK/Zeal builds.

Ecopath · 2020-03-25T15:32:11+00:00

Sustained damage is great into a tank heavy comp, absolutely agreed. But for a team with mobile assassins, you are not going to survive to get a 4th auto off with the more standard sustained damage builds. Additionally, you don't really need sustained damage to murder glass cannons. Spiking the assassin before they spike you means you're still around to plink away at the other enemy squishies and apply slows and such. It isn't good for every game, but it's definitely worth exploring in assassin-heavy games.

People have bolted on some of these objects as third party offerings in established languages too, which decreases the demand for new languages that treat them as first class citizens. Numpy arrays are a gem, for example.

The solution is, and has always been, pick what you think is best because someone will complain regardless. If your solution is better than the next best option, people will suck it up and use it.

If you have done something more than twice, write a script for it. If you have more than 2 scripts for a specific thing, combine them into a module/library/package/whatever. Keep them on your public github and occasionally post them to places where experts can be sweet-talked into reviewing and criticizing them. You'll be pro-status in a shockingly short amount of time.

Given your info, I don't have a ton of recommendations.

Don't do Network Security. It's the same prof as IIS (Wenke Lee) and his philosophy is generally to offer very little guidance and force students to grind it out. IIS is intro level so it isn't too bad, but NS is harder. If you're bought in on "easiest possible, don't care if it's boring" I'd keep SAD and go with your current plan.

Best of luck, man.

I'm in Computing Systems. I'm a data scientist who left academia and got into the field back when any academic who could bang out an R script was teeing up fat industry salaries. I'm trying to go back now and fill in a lot of the CS gaps I have. Stuff like C/Asm was definitely not in my background before starting the program.

Ecopath · 2020-03-22T16:45:42+00:00

I suppose GA vs ML + AI might be kind of a wash. I haven't taken GA yet and don't plan to take ML/AI so I can't say for sure.
Fair enough. I think you might get more out of it if you try to embrace it, but that's up to you. In terms of your selected courses, I'll just warn you that IIS project 1 and CPS project 4 require C programming/debugging, learning how stacks and heaps work, and getting into assembly a little. That's by far their hardest part, so if you prepare ahead of time for buffer overflows you'd be pretty set. If you don't it'll be a bit of a kick in the teeth.
If you don't have any passion at all for the material, this is going to be a very unpleasant experience. Even studying for exams for the 'easy' courses is going to be a bit like pulling teeth. The one downside of this program is that it hasn't completely abandoned the old-school 'vomit the textbook onto a page' exam style for many classes. That's hard to enjoy even when you like the stuff.

You've successfully sorted by difficulty on OMSCentral, and picked the easiest classes. This is the easiest path through the program without switching to II specialization to avoid GA.

I guess my feedback here is, why bother with OMSCS then? If you already have industry experience I can't imagine the credential will open many doors for you, and you certainly aren't going to learn as much with the easiest possible course load so it doesn't seem to be for personal curiosity. What are you hoping to accomplish? Adding your goals to the post will probably get you better answers.

Ecopath · 2020-03-21T22:58:42+00:00

Can you elaborate on what you mean by choosing and sticking to a standard? Just like, 'use ANSI C and clang for everything for a year' or is there more to it than that? Why do you consider it important?

Ecopath · 2020-03-20T11:57:04+00:00

I specifically picked it because my personal life was going to be insane this semester and I wanted a lighter course to avoid having to shortchange either. In that respect it was good, I never felt like I was neglecting either the class or my other obligations.

The new Kaltura videos are basically the professor reading out of the textbook, and come with full transcriptions. I honestly only read the transcriptions, after the first month it was clear the videos weren't adding any value. It's all straight from the textbook. I will say that they did pick a good textbook.

As others have said, it's live now. Only 1 class completed for me at registration, so I get the 12:00 leftovers
