The tech downturn seen through Hacker News comments
Yesterday, I ran my script to check how many comments on the monthly Hacker News Who's hiring post mention a remote option. Remote jobs reached a level of 75 % - 80 % and stayed there (it doesn't look like that's going to change soon), but what's striking is the drop in the …

What is the minimal possible UK address?
Postcodes in the UK are pretty specific — a postcode such as “SE1 6AD” will often identify one or a few specific buildings, unlike countries where a postcode represents an entire neighbourhood.

ARM vs. Intel on Amazon’s Cloud: A URL Parsing Benchmark
Twitter user opdroid1234 remarked that they are getting more performance out of the ARM nodes than out of the Intel nodes on Amazon's cloud (AWS). I found previously that the Graviton 3 processors had less bandwidth than comparable Intel systems. However, I have not done much in terms of raw compute power. The Intel…

This article aims at providing you some insights about the experience I had in the “infosec world” for the past few years. I had an amazing journey and grateful for everything that happened.
