• Best Productivity Hacks for Developers

  There are multiple skills that will upscale your development journey and provide you with a better command of your role as a developer. Some of them are learning multiple programming languages, computer proficiency, problem-solving, adaptability, debugging, etc. To polish most of the skills, you can go for a decent certification program with which you will not only learn a skill but also get a certificate to... - Source: dev.to / 2 days ago

• Bought my first laptop for my education after years of being homeless, hope I invested my money right.

  CS is computer science. Also check out edx.com It is hosted by Harvard and if you pay for the course which is very little you get a certificate from them. There is also groupings of courses were you can get a business certificate. Also check out udemy.com. Wait for the specials for $10-15. I have heard that google has certificates that are free but that businesses except. Just try stuff and even look at skills... Source: 11 months ago

• Rant - Anyone else having trouble finding a job?

  Core coding and IT skills are a must though. Pick a language you followed and liked at Uni, check there is decent job demand for it, and do a udemy.com course on it (great value, great content, very cheap). Pair this with a major cloud (Azure or AWS) qualification which is pretty much a must these days, and you're much more attractive as an applicant. Source: 12 months ago

• Tech careers that won’t be taken over by AI?

  Prompting is so new I don't think a degree is offered yet, but Microsoft has some accredited classes (FREE) - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/ and you can get a certificate on AI and chatGPT from https://udemy.com , I got a few from them :). Source: 12 months ago

• Failed my Salesforce Admin today

  I am studying Salesforce administrator fundamentals at udemy.com. I am taking this course where the instructor provides a checklist of all the topics/subjects you will see in the test. For example, according to the instructor, who passed his administrator certification on his first try, teach the specific concepts you will see in the test. I think that there are 133 features/concepts. So, the first video is about... Source: almost 1 year ago

• We’re Christian Mouchet, Jean-Philippe Bossuat, Kurt Rohloff, Nigel Smart, Pascal Paillier, Rand Hindi, Wonkyung Jung, various researchers and library developers of homomorphic encryption to answer questions about homomorphic encryption and why it’s important for the future of data privacy! AMA

  This is basically how electronic voting systems like Helios work [https://vote.heliosvoting.org/]. They use additively homomorphic encryption to produce a tally for an election. Obviously a lot more stuff needs to be added to make this fully secure as an e-voting system [e.g. Zero-Knowledge proofs need to be added to the votes to ensure someone votes for a valid candidate, the decryption functionality needs to...

• The Paper That Keeps Showing Up

  It's a beautiful piece of theory, but when the IACR tried to build a voting scheme based on that to elect their board annually (https://vote.heliosvoting.org/), they got caught by a non-obvious bear trap when you make the whole thing non-interactive (which is the way this is mostly used in practice). Details here: https://eprint.iacr.org/2016/771 Basically, if you do this with a hash function, you need to HASH ALL... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• No sign of online voting for Toronto, despite use in other GTA regions

  There are a few good open systems used in production today, https://vote.heliosvoting.org/ is one. That said, there has been a huge amount of relevant cryptography research lately, particularly in the zero knowledge space, which unlocks more coverage of desirable security properties (less trusting of centralized providers, more privacy, more auditability, more deniability, etc).

• Debian decides to allow secret votes

  While not built for the purpose of voting, there have occasionally been some coin-weighted polls using the Zcash blockchain. The ability to post encrypted and immutable transactions, and selectively share viewing keys has interesting possibilities, certainly. That said, we in the Zcash community have usually used another system when holding secret-ballot votes within our community: Helios [1] [1]... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
