I'm not sure what's more suprising, that Minecraft has it's own convention, or that the guardian are running a liveblog of it... theguardian.com/technology/live/2015/jul/04/…

Q: How to be a cloud security architect?

I am computer science major and I am working hard on many aspects. I tried to do research in many areas in computer sincere with some professor but the things were difficult. Recently I'v a chance to work with someone who good at cloud security. My question is what I should do before the first me...

security

sometimes I don't even know where to start

granted, that's his problem too

You presumably don't have the time to do much, certainly not study anything. Your question is so vague that I don't think we can help you with this over the Internet, what you need here is personal advice — or just live and learn. If you want to learn about security, try to find some relevant courses, read a few books (Security Engineering is a very good one), don't worry about the “cloud” bit for now (that's just today's fad, not a career choice), and browse Information Security. — Gilles ♦ 15 secs ago

aannd they've got Youtube stars playing Minecraft live on-stage later!

@AviD you around?

how do you feel about something like this?

I can still work on it, I made layers and ~~shit~~ such LOL

12:26 PM

hmmm yeah it's independence day ... happy independence day mercans!

Using a logo filling star and putting the wasp in the inner part is another idea.

yup that might actually look better, I'll try and see

With the current design small details matter a lot but become hard to recognize on smaller resolutions.

it's just previews really ... it's not even properly centered and such, important is that I now have layers and can play with them

owasp logos came only in everything merged

hey @CodesInChaos I migrated crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/26699/… to Cryptography by mistake. It's not really on-topic since the asker set out to wring a RNG, not necessarily a CSRNG.

I meant to migrate it to Code Review, I wrote a CR-style answer (my answer is the only one), and only after that did I realize I'd migrated to the wrong site

Sorry about this

I don't think anybody actually wants the question on Crypto, so if you delete it and clear the migration history I'll take care of it from the CS side

12:32 PM

@Gilles Deleting causes a rejection and unlocks the question on cs, right?

@CodesInChaos yes

done

thanks

now to type carefully

Code Review

It probably would have been possible to edit it to become on topic, by focusing on "thread timing as entropy source" instead of the concrete implementation.

@CodesInChaos yeah, and if he wants to ask more about that, he can do it

12:37 PM

but he's veeeery far from anything relevant to crypto

I just compiled and ran his code for fun, the output has visible cycles

looks like a compass :)

@TildalWave The low contract between the wasp and the star is a bit problematic.

@CodesInChaos you mean more shadow?

or more contrast? I could lighten the background and deepen shadow of the wasp, that would do it, but I want @AviD's take first, then polish

and he's probably busy being a mercan today :)

My main concern is that it doesn't work well when I resize it to 64x64 or even smaller.

12:51 PM

I know, I'll work on that later, add some glitter to it yada yada ... @AviD thought to use that wavy flag but that didn't work out, so all this is so far just working out the layout and for first impression ... screen optimizations et al. come later

and the wasp could probably be a bit bigger too ...

... I want a donut...

@JeffFerland is that the special meal for the 4th of July?

I somehow imagined it would involve large quantities of burnt meat

I'm open to the power of suggestion

I suggest the correct spelling...

:-)

@RoryAlsop be bold

room topic changed to The DMZ: I love donuts.!! [donuts] [food] [libations] [rory] [security]

@CodesInChaos done

Bah, markdown rendering is inconsistent

Nice try @Gilles
