The Hacker Culture In The Modern World



The community of computer specialists has been changing the world since the creation of first computational device. The way development goes depends not only on technical skills of hackers, their ideals and views also take essential part of progress. There were several generations of hackers and each of them promoted different ideas. The hacker ethic of early days focused specifically on their interests and there were no such needs as communicative skills. The main ideology was "all information should be free" and I strongly disagree with this statement. Non-profit everything stops the progress and leaves no motivation to support "boring" software.

In 90's next generation of the culture has started acknowledging a demand for well-supported communication in hackers groups. It led to more healthy relationships and lifestyle within the culture. Eric S. Raymond put attention to necessity of skills which set development as a specialist over attitude and passion.

The Linus' Law

I really believe debates about open-source software have to be more flexible. People tend to divide everything on black and white and here it's not going to work out. Making all information paid by definition is a horrible idea but when it comes to user-friendly, regularly updating software, I consider this as a real value and users should pay for it.

To summarize the depiction of the hacker culture is fascinating and attracts me a lot while being part of seems alien and not really relevant. I think today in most cases curiosity and desire to become a pro in computer and everything related to it, come from personal interests

Make yourself look good online 1. Take advantage of your anonymity Communication online leaves an opportunity to be anonymous and you should take an advantage of it. People are tired of watching themselves behaving according to society standards. Going online makes it easier to live your life and share the exact thoughts and experience that close to your heart.

People who have decided to spend essential part of their life in net tend to be delicate about information they deal with.  Nowadays it's much easier to track anyone unless all necessary protective measures has been takes. Make sure you to use dynamic IP as well as encrypted connection if you expose some private information you don't want to be spread. On my experience there were many naive girls in my school who strongly ...

The Review of Paper "Computer vision in Security" Author: Fothul Karim Forhan The paper is the overview on a technology that helps us recognize different patterns and proceed it in a specific format. The focus is set on security field where CV helps to prevent attacks and massive resource looses. The introduction covers a bit of history as well as points to goals of the research. The main part is divided into: Types of CV technologies applied in security matters, security matters that require CV and other safety matters. For me the most fascinating part is CV in financial field. In the given example cv could identify fraudsters by emotional state, the way a fraudster behaves. After the thief is identified, the alarm is enabled automatically and the transaction is terminated. This is a direct example of how cv saves a companies' money. The only thing that missing is lack of illustrations. It'd be great to see face-recognition algorithms visualization. Overall...
