I love this because it empowers people in the MENA region to establish financial security and grow their careers at global tech companies. This will hopefully unlock resources for the much-needed entrepreneurship growth in the region
Thank you! And totally, the region's entrepreneurship scene is growing quickly. Our current YC batch has at least 5 companies from MENA. We're excited to be a part of (and unlock) this growth.
Just only watch the intro lecture and I can confidently confirm that this course would be fantastic. However, the professor mentioned that this course is only about processor. Anyone know similar courses/books about filesystem, network, RAM, ....?
As pointed out in the comments, 6.033 is a good overarching course to learn about a lot of computer systems fundamentals. If you want to dig deeper into networks, OS, computer architecture, MIT has plenty of specific courses for those:
Researchers usually pick a name when they have started looking at a collection of samples, and don't really have knowledge of what is going on or who the threat actor is yet.
The authors call it خضر, a guardian angel type from the Quran that shares secret knowledge.
It is also the Arabic for the adjective green (plural) and the name comes from Arabic as well, and a prophet some i even heard some suggest is Buddha, in addition to other more obvious Wikipedia suggestions.
That aside, this is what drives me nuts about threat Intel: we use enough googlable Persian words and give enough hints we know Persian in our code and opsec and people have a full dossier that confirms we're Iranians? I assume there is more depth to their claims but you have to work for the reporting company to know it which makes the whole subset of the industry dubious if you ask me (but we know no one is, lol).
I love Tanya Khovanova! She saved my ass when I was taking and failing linear Algebra in my freshman year. Amazing TA with a kind heart, great sense of humor, and lovely Eastern European accent.
"First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."
I've been a fan of repl.it from the start, though I failed to see the utility that a senior dev/someone with compute resources would derive from it. With this new feature, however, I think repl.it will save developers a lot of time. Kudos!
What matters more than leaving the posh job is to know what you're leaping into. Will the problem and company you work at be something you want to wake up and work on for the next 7-10 years? Are the founders people you love spending every moment of your waking hours with? Are they pleasant when you disagree with them?
If you have a current opportunity, it would be much easier to compare X with Y than talking about hypotheticals, so my advice is keep looking around for opportunities, and once one arrises think hard and then think again and then take the leap.
In the meantime, focus on becoming a kick-ass coder and/or product person and/or manager and/or fundraiser and/or marketer because these are all critical skills for building successful organizations.
I am currently a masters student doing a 4+1 year program in a prestigious school CS department. I know that if I go work at a big tech company, I will have no motivation to put in my 110% effort, so that's what influenced my decision to join a medium-sized startup. Besides, life is too short to be doing something you don't enjoy.
the mistake is simply that G(h(t)) = F(h(t))/dt, rather than G(h(t)) = F(h(t))/dt + h(t), i.e. it's only in the text following the inset equations. you can verify this by looking at the "Evaluating ODEs" section.
