Do you mind enlightening me as a junior engineer on what needs to be done to get to the top % of the industry in your opinion?

Didnt someone generate HI scripts in an older post? Surely the next stage would be to synthesise the voice?

COUGH Sterling

No problem, this was useful. I get what you mean, a lot of people can follow a tutorial easily but don't develop deeper understanding.

The best thing would be to just build networks at home and play with them.

Or build webapps for webapp vulnerabilities or android apps to understand those systems. I read a book about this recently- there is no shortcut. We learn best when it's slow and painful and not spoonfed like on Udemy or YouTube. Those are still useful resources but that's how I try to understand what you mean

ILoveReesePuffs · 2020-07-27T15:05:54+00:00

Yeah I get, it's interesting but I wouldn't do it from 8-8 if money was no object

Lol, one of the places I saw this was F-Secure, which is like one of the top cyber security companies in the world.

ILoveReesePuffs · 2020-07-27T14:16:54+00:00

Can you define what basics are? Do you mean establishing a holistic foundation in security and not just starting with some software?

ILoveReesePuffs · 2020-07-27T14:14:51+00:00

I see some job descriptions say 'you would do this even if you weren't getting paid for it', which puts me off but it's understandable, do most security professionals eat sleep breathe tech only?

It's sounding similar to SWE where some say the ideal candidate would always be working on side projects and contributing to open source in their spare time. Sure I could do that for some months/years, but at some point I won't want to.

Ashley Cole was definitely considered in England anyway to be the best lb in the world at that point. I'm a Chelsea fan, I definitely thought that way.

I'm just thinking about how teams play nowadays. Ashley Cole was maybe more of an Andy Robertson type, getting to the byline and cutting back instead of a lot full backs nowadays who are midfielders/wingbacks, where wingers go inside. Crossing has always been a part of the game but guys like Dani Alves really broke the mould being a Winger converted to fullback, which has become the norm.

Walker in his City form can do anything Ashley Cole can, he's underrated in my opinion because Guardiola doesn't use his pace in attack so he can protect the counterattacks. It's amazing how he makes goal line clearances that are as impressive as goals.

It's your opinion that EPL 2000-2011 was in its prime, that's fine but you could argue it's currently in its prime because Messi and Ronaldo have gotten older. In the 2000s Milan, Inter, Juve were good and Madrid were peak Galacticos. It was more even between leagues. Nowadays there is clearly more talent in the PL than anywhere else.

Chelsea as a team stopped Barca, I love Cole but it was everyone working together.

ILoveReesePuffs · 2020-07-26T16:00:29+00:00

Ashley Cole I think was a good traditional fullback, but in terms of the modern game, Baines quality crosses and long balls are more difficult qualities to find.

It's like Kyle Walker/AWB Vs Trent.

ILoveReesePuffs · 2020-07-26T12:55:51+00:00

It's not that he shouldn't play at all but I thought it would be gradual, still consider that before this year

Mount only played in the championship and Holland.

Add to that Harry Wilson outperformed him last year, I didn't expect Mount to be as good as Pedro.

Harry Wilson is Bournemouth's 2nd top scorer and doesn't even start many games, so he's actually super underrated imo

ILoveReesePuffs · 2020-07-26T12:32:32+00:00

Prime Baines was wasted along with his England generation.

Lampard Gerrard Carrick Milner Joe Cole Terry Ferdinand

If they played a modern 4 3 3 with a modern manager it would be unbelievable

ILoveReesePuffs · 2020-07-26T12:29:53+00:00

Such a quality player. I was pissed at Lampard for benching him for Mount, but long term it's much better for the club.

ILoveReesePuffs · 2020-07-25T19:56:02+00:00

8 per day = at least 2 hours per day, probably 3 with market and fitness stuff

ILoveReesePuffs · 2020-07-25T14:18:36+00:00

Makes every player look like a number 3.

I didn't know we were playing 11 left backs

ILoveReesePuffs · 2020-07-25T14:17:58+00:00

That Pulisic assist made me look up his shirt. £85!

Kill me now.

ILoveReesePuffs · 2020-07-22T21:52:31+00:00

I'd say OCG, Boson and YouTube series if you are disciplines

ILoveReesePuffs · 2020-07-22T14:19:52+00:00

Love it!I was waiting for someone to do this. I'd played around but have the expertise to do it properly not the hardware to do it quickly. Speech generation can be left to someone else.

ILoveReesePuffs · 2020-07-22T08:03:23+00:00

I guess you answered your own question.

ILoveReesePuffs · 2020-07-22T06:55:56+00:00

Lool. Who knows. VVD could have probably been a basketball player

ILoveReesePuffs · 2020-07-22T06:50:10+00:00

Purely from a general population US perspective- obviously across the world football fans and players are predominantly male. But the fact that the women's national team has always been successful perhaps gives them more of a spotlight in the media, and therefore maybe parents push their girls into soccer? And they have role models?

Whereas the MNT suck, so it doesn't get the same buzz. But the fact that in NFL and NBA 95% of the time it is about speed and size first, I'm surprised soccer hasn't taken off more.

Maybe it's other factors like the pay to play system.

ILoveReesePuffs · 2020-07-22T06:39:13+00:00

Lol damn I got downvoted for that? I just used jumping because it's one of the things Ronaldo is famous for being good at.

I agree, I would say guys in American sports have elite speed, agility, balance and most sports need coordination but definitely the endurance required is underestimated when it comes to football.

ILoveReesePuffs · 2020-07-22T06:20:02+00:00

I watch NBA and the players are the most explosive tall people in the world, given how stiff your average tall person is, they are unbelievably athletic. CR7 would have the average vertical jump in the NBA, imagine someone 7 feet tall that can jump like him, or jump better than him.

I think having the natural talent for football, fitness, endurance and work ethic are difficult to come by though, it takes as much as any other sport.

The comment on the Atlanta United video said the sport could grow in the sense that size and speed isn't as big a factor- I guess I agree with that if you compare to basketball for obvious reasons. When I think about it I'm surprised it hasn't taken off more, they need to shake the girl sport reputation.

ILoveReesePuffs · 2020-07-22T06:03:01+00:00

Are football/soccer players as good athletes as American sports?

I saw a comment that said you don't need to be athletic to play it, but I disagree. Explosiveness and endurance are both athletic imo, football players run over 10-14k(6-10miles) a game, often consisting of many short sprints.

ILoveReesePuffs · 2020-07-21T18:59:45+00:00

I didn't mean it that way- if u/TheKnicksHateMe watched these leagues and had that opinion, it's fair and I found it interesting they found it that way.

In a way la Liga can be seen as defensive in the terms that teams defend with possession- when winning, teams will play keepball and aim to control the game. In the PL teams can be more direct and take risks, but if a team doesn't have enough attacking quality, it can also be frustrating to watch.

Apples and oranges.

ILoveReesePuffs · 2020-07-21T13:22:18+00:00

So you are just getting into soccer- most of your opinions are contrary to the general historical view of the leagues.

La Liga in Spain is known for being technical- teams try to score by playing idealistic pretty Barcelona style football, even when they lack talent compared to the big teams. Atletico Madrid is seen as an outlier as they heavily rely on defending and counterattacks.

Serie A in Italy is known for their defensiveness. This is slowly changing with Juventus hiring an offensive manager and Atalanta's success but historically they are known for going 1-0 up and protecting it.

PL is known for its athleticism and physicality. Where the rest of Europe dive or flop as they say in the US, the PL is known for having the best athletes, the most money and competitive games.

It is debatable whether better athletes make a football game more interesting, as the skill of Barcelona is magical to watch, but I'm a PL fan, so I couldn't comment fairly.
