but some topologies self-maintain when clients join/exit, and the fact that they have a structure makes routing much easier
some other types of distributed networks like publish-subscribe networks can auto-balance load
well surely routing protocols do similar things
there was something very unique about Perrig's proposal
but I forgot what it even was
he had a network which I believe made it much easier to route packets, and also to circumvent nationwide censorship by creating bridges across managed groups of domain names
@Rhino what do you work on btw? and you too @LvB
((also I should mention at this point that donuts are a very well studied topology ;p))
@LvB That's a very good question. I have options - one being to simply do my OU degree for a full year and therefore be close to having the magic bit of paper.
Although tbh I'm not sure what a degree in maths will do to helping with programming skills.
Tbh, I'll be surprised if I get it. What usually happens is "oh right great you know about..." and then they realize I don't have a degree and boom, jobs down
I don't look at degree/school names too much myself if hiring interns/students. I have no issues with taking a non-UCL student from some unknown place. I like to see evidence of competence and solid thinking skills in a cover letter, and no fluff or "pls i need to eat donuts"
this is usually the point where I say "so, you're better off not working for clueless people like that, anyway", but @Adi has made painstaking efforts to clarify to me that I speak from a position of privilege, and not everyone has alternate opportunities.

It's not my fault. We had that intern build a website for some colleagues, then I needed to build sites for my own remote studies, and I used the same technology so I could merge the student's nice bits into my site later one
I am a Canadian called @Simon and I can haz donut svp pls @SteveDL ? I would like to specialize in eating donuts in your department/group. I believe I bring maple syrup to the table, and what the hell, yolo, right?
@SteveDL Not really. One of the downsides of doing an OU degree is that I work what the Swiss call 100% at work, and then 50% at home. So my work week is 42 hrs + whatever I need to do to pass my degree.
@SteveDL Amazing. My reasons for not doing a degree the traditional route are basically that I was ill enough to have to withdraw, and the OU provided me a way to keep studying.
I tell you what though, if you see "OU graduate" on a CV and they worked FT while doing it, please take a moment to appreciate their time management skills :)
Also how do you create a github profile as a working software engineer? Oh yeah, extracurricular activity. Saps your concentration :) At my previous employer contributing to opensource was frowned upon.
Hey guys...i just saw this question security.stackexchange.com/questions/90259/… ... and i was wondering...if i ask a question about where i could get some certificates on pen testing field online and that are recognized...would be a good question or no?
Generally SE is about helping people but I'd give two pieces of advice first:
Actually three
1. Be clear about what you want to find out. Show what you've looked at and what you might consider. With that comes:
2. Look for what has already been asked before and if your question is different make sure you're clear in the Q why this is. No harm in writing "so I read question X and this is interesting but..."
3. Questions that are really really specific to a very narrow set of circumstances tend to be hard to answer well and won't float so well.
4. Have a look at the careers Qs that were well received - this should give you a good go.
So I can't count.
Oh well.
Anyway, IF you think you can't ask on the main site because you think maybe the question has already been covered - or you just want to ask peoples experiences, which might be more what you need.
You can always ask here
I can't help on security certs myself having never done any (and I'm also not a pentester....)
@Freedom heya @Freedom, welcome to sec.se. That kind of question would be closed pretty quickly - and in fact has been asked numerous times and closed shut. The main reason for this is because we do not support "product reccomendation" type questions, which this is.
Other than that, the question is: duplicate; very subjective (what is good for one person isnt necessarily for another, depends greatly on specific set of personal circumstances); unclear - because it is missing a lot of personal context.
sorry for being so vehement, but you did ask :-)
that said, I would give you my answer: none are really good - if you are good, you dont need the cert, if you're not good the cert won't help you (well, past getting in the door). On the other hand there are certain fields / locales / companies that do require a specific cert - e.g. CREST for government types in UK.
on the other other hand, I personally would not agree to work with a company like that. so as I said - it is very personal, depends a lot on your context, skills, preferences, etc.....
but as @Rhino said - chatroom is a great place to ask!
@Rhino heh. I thought you were going for the monty python bit.
@AviD As a mathematician I consider what happens when epsilon, an already minuscule quantity, tends towards zero. It isn't much of a difference but I dare say very precise tone measuring instruments could detect it.
@AviD I applied to Steve's lab on his behalf last night. See star wall to the right. I think I did a good job at capturing his character and motivation.
