Read tip: Simplify IT - The art and science towards simpler IT solution https://nocomplexity.com/documents/reports/SimplifyIT.pdf
I haven’t quite made up my mind about the certification programmes yet. There are already so many out there for security, and most seem to cover the same ground.
I would recommend reading: "The CP-SAT Primer: Using and Understanding Google OR-Tools’ CP-SAT Solver" - https://d-krupke.github.io/cpsat-primer/
When starting with CP-SAT. The google docs are not great unfortunately.
"we find a sharp rise in the frequency of LLM-favored marker words such as underscoring and enhancing."
"the sentiment expressed across all concern areas is generally skewed toward the negative end of the polarity scale."
"The results search you get from G*gle results are unique."
G*gle does not use the easy to use Lucene search syntax but has many 'magic' things, like:
Searching for high-quality Open Access content or solid technical answers on software challenges requires a rigorous scientific methodology, combined with creativity and extensive experience. Despite being a crucial competency, it is rarely taught in depth.
Even with the rise of LLMs, effectively navigating search results remains an unsolved problem.
Complexity directly impacts security. Simple systems are: Maintainable: Easier to change and manage. Reliable: Less prone to logic errors. Testable: Easier to validate and test.
We are brainwashed by commercial vendors to advocate for complex, expensive cyber security solutions that are costly to implement and lack transparency.
Most (commercial) cyber security solutions are not future-proof and not maintainable in the long term. Most cyber security improvements programs end with more paperwork and more new fancy software tools, without increased security resilience.
Unlocking Python’s Cores: Hardware Usage and Energy Implications of Removing the GIL
I am curious about the NumPy workload choice made, due to more limited impact on CPython performance.
By centralising and outsourcing all data to what appears to be a Salesforce Cloud solution, this was a disaster waiting to happen. If even minimal security monitoring had been active, someone should have noticed something. It is also possible that the security management department was competent, but senior management failed to understand or act upon the advice provided.

This blogs says a lot about the author...
But flagging this is submission is overkill imho.
I added this nice tool directly to my collection of great architecture tools. (https://nocomplexity.com/documents/arplaybook/software-archi...)
Statement made in the paper:"GitHub stars are a useful metric" imho not so true...and a dangerous claim!
