1·22 days agoYes! I’ve been to THE mall there. I had a layover in Minneapolis one time, so we stashed our bags and took the train. It was pretty amazing.
Luckily I live in a an area where there are a few decent malls still for me to get my fix.
I completely relate. Grew up in the mall, and worked there in my teens. Was just visiting home and it’s completely dead. There were literally 4 stores open.
Mad me sad.
Learn everything you can, about everything you can,
and check out places you can practice your learning like Hack the Box or one of the other platforms.And go from there!
It is now. When I got into it, I was doing communications, mainly radio and satellite. I had no idea what I was going to do, and as it turned out, computers and learning really struck a chord with me.
I used military grade cryptography in the Navy, but I learned a lot about cybersecurity on my own. All the “puzzles”, and learning new things everyday like new technology, new vulnerabilities, etc.
Now they have specialists in the military and other government agencies that teach it. Although, given the current political climate, I wouldn’t want to be part of that with that.
As much as people learn it in school and the military now, I feel to be really good at it, you have to know at least a little of everything. I like to look at it like a technical jack of all trades.
You’d be surprised how many people there are from all sorts of backgrounds and interests, that had no idea they would be making a living out of hacking.
Long time IT/cybersecurity.
Cybersecurity is all about curiosity and learning. I got there via the military.
E: too soon.

2·1 month agoTo be fair, it’s called “Today I Learned”. Just happens that I learned this when I was yesterday’s years old. That’s and I not a U.
Also, based on the other responses, it seems I’m not the only one who might not have known this before now.
I’ll keep the rock, beats the glass house you live in.

I’m a few years older and also wasn’t diagnosed until my late 30s.
Welcome to the world of mental health medication. It’s a complete fucking mystery to even medical “professionals” which cocktail works for you, until you give it a shot.
On more than one occasion I’ve heard, “Try this one, if you don’t want to kill yourself or anyone else, it’s probably a good one to use. Otherwise, we can switch to another one with even worse side effects and see how that goes. How does that sound?”
Good luck! It’s a long journey, at least in my experiences.
Probably the MacBook sitting next to the ridiculous keyboard.
Even still… I’ve seen devs do it with equally blank stares.

I’m pretty sure my cat would just flop over and refuse to move.
Bonus points for including the recipe!
Yes please!

You think it’s rough now? Give it about 15 minutes, he’s about to address congress…
