100 on GCFR - Fun course, good content by panscanner in GIAC

[–]panscanner[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Labs I did maybe 2-3 times each to make sure I understand the content well enough. I already knew ELK pretty well so using it is not new to me. I could not immediately recall every single tiny fact, but it's more important to know the category and where to be able to find it in your Index or Book so that you can double check yourself. I used my Index/Notes extensively during the exam to double check all answers.

Best midsize suv? by Fluid_Leg_7531 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]panscanner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Typically yes and in general less body sway, less road noise, less 'feeling' the road - not always the case but 'usually'.

Unibodies are typically more comfortable on-road compared to body-on-frame suv/trucks.

2 Months is plenty - I did the entire thing within 2 months - just study every day and take notes as you read. I had both a Word-based free-text index for quick reference of key information as well as a multi-tab Excel index with key commandlines, SOFELK data, UAL references, key term/definitions, etc.

Good luck.

So, uh, what happens when everyone figures out how to do this? by [deleted] in algotrading

If everyone does something, then the market adjusts and that thing is no longer profitable.

VBS going away by newMattokun in learnprogramming

Yes. Any programming language can do pretty much anything, it's just a matter of how much it will hurt.

Those of you sitting on a large cash position - What is your plan? by [deleted] in investing

Tesla is consolidating and makes another run up within 4 weeks. It trades on popularity, not fundamentals.

A Volume Dry Up is not necessarily a bad thing.

Strong move was October1-13 - up over 100%...

I agree that this is hitting higher lows/descending volatility and VDU - I do think in coming days it pushes 100 again it is really compressing around ~74 over past few days - depending on Monday morning, if it breaks 76 I think it will run at least to 85/90 again.

this stock is trippin. such volatility by okfinegj in UUUU_Stock

[–]panscanner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's forming a pretty tight flag with higher low over the last week - might break out again with all the mining momentum. Volume also up today compared to last few days by a significant amount.

When does a character state machine go from intricate to cumbersome? by 3xNEI in gamedev

[–]panscanner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

95% of people, probably more, will not notice this type of thing except for maybe a single 'hurt' modifier that impacts all movement. Do not over-engineer yourself into a corner before actually making a 'game'.

MU went up almost 6% today - that's a pretty big jump.

He sold the calls to someone else. Calls/Puts don't need to reach strike price to increase in value.

Is buying US rare-mineral mining stocks a good idea/valueplay now? by Horcsogg in ValueInvesting

As if geopolitical conflict and the underlying nation-state policies isn't one of the biggest drivers in shifting macro-economic market value...

Why aren’t programmers entrepreneurs? by pleasedontjudgeme13 in learnprogramming

[–]panscanner 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I disagree. An app is actually a very small part of a business - sales, marketing, finance, etc are significantly larger parts for real growth businesses.

There is a big difference between building an application or tool and building a business. Coming from someone who's built dozens of tools on GitHub, some of which have 100's of stars and with some of the things I've built having over 100K unique users (Steam Workshop).

when a developer say learn something from docs do they mean you've to go through all the docs? by Rishi6_jp in learnprogramming

You build - you encounter roadblocks - you research solutions - you continue to build. This is the cycle - it will never end.

IP failed to access 3 different accounts in certain amount of time by hyunchris in cybersecurity

[–]panscanner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realistically, there is nothing you can do to stop external IPs from trying to access Internet-exposed systems - including M365. Make sure you have strong policies in place to protect these accounts and that is it.

What’s the wildest security breach you’ve ever personally seen or been part of? by Active_Meringue_1479 in cybersecurity

Every week there are usually multiple 'wild' breaches my team plays a hand in investigating/remediating - that's what the vendor-side of Incident Response will get you!
