I left in 2010 and the consensus is very much the same among my friends, or at least some of them anyway.

I’m no longer eligible to have an opinion UK or local conversations. “how would you know”, “the city’s changed a lot since you left”, “why are people who chose to leave so interested in X”, statements specific to ex-pats.

For those from outside the UK, ex-pat (expatriate) as a singular term is almost always derogatory regardless of context or publisher.

I realise I’m judging the book (and possibly the authors) by the cover but Nielsen’s book cover is objectively more readable.

It’s also probably the only one that would still look new, or current, if it was released today

Still doesn't. I recently moved my vault to Dropbox and had to rename a bunch of filenames

I started using testssl after first using slabs.com.

As the other commenter mentioned, testssl.sh lets you can websites that aren’t public yet e.g. test environments or other private networks. As well as testing against starttls if you need to test encryption on a mail gateway.

It’s also configurable, meaning you can have it test tls protocols alone, or ciphers alone, client renegotiation alone making it quicker and easier to read if you are looking at specific areas

I tend to use testssl.sh (https://testssl.sh/), are there any major benefits to sslyze?

I’ve just tried running it a moment ago to compare. The output isn’t as organised/readable and it includes several tracebacks for failed checks (tlsv1.1, tlsv1.2, tlsv1.3, and compliance against Mozilla TLS configuration).

Always open to different tools but it seems testssl.sh is currently more complete

Requirements are strict in other countries as well. It comes with the nature of the job.

Why do you hate the whole community?

At least on the surface laptop 2 in my last role, I didn’t find the battery life to be all that great. Wasn’t terrible, just average

Yes, and fan is both loud and regularly running

Selling 6 planes is nothing. It wouldn’t even cover the standby aircraft of many fleets. You need large orders to make it feasible, and you need a strong product to secure those orders. FedEx, UPS and co. aren’t going to fund you long term unless you have a product and you need good teams and good funding to even get you to that starting block.

Boom is probably the closest thing to what is suggested but many still doubt they will make it to production. That’s minimal investment though and mostly around options on orders, so they still need massive funding to get there. Rolls Royce and others have said it’s not viable to design an engine for them so now they have to design the airframe and the engine.

Bombardier is an example of why new entrants should be concerned. As soon as you become a close threat, you don’t really trigger competition you trigger massive protectionism which forces them to sell the design to airbus, further consolidating the market

I think the incumbents would have to be broken up to seed any new competition that is remotely viable. The Boeing story has some way to go yet though, who knows

Didn't want to delve into it in the original comment but what you mention is correct and is one of the reasons I mentioned how far back this was.

I haven't read Herman Pontzer's recent research, I'd equate to becoming a more efficient runner; as efficiency increases energy demands are reduced.

Some of today's research just didn't exist when this was written. Of course, some of the advice was already debatable by the time I got to read it in the mid-late 00's, but that can be said for a lot of health and fitness advice even today.

I didn't follow it proscriptively. What it did do was give me a different approach to tackling it as a problem and was the first resource I had read that helped in that regard. Everything else was very much eat less of this and more of that

Like thread's asking which book/resource to use when learning to code, there are many good examples out there. Not all are perfect, and some are occasionally wrong but like that example, this was the one that stuck with me.

Ryanair as well. Although they softened their statement, it still spoke to reduced confidence
