First off, thank you for your detailed reply. I appreciate you taking the time to share specifics. I think it elevates the debate.

I'm going to ignore your generic claims because I have no way to validate them but I will respond to your factual claims:

> See the witch-hunting that went on with the University of Virginia rape accusation. Or the Duke Lacrosse team. In both case, self-proclaimed SJWs found the groups guilty. And demanded sanctions, bans, "forced education", public shaming, etc.
Later, of course, the accusations turned out to be false.

In both cases the accuser turned out to be an unreliable witness. It seems quite possible that one or more rapes occurred in both cases, but I am not one of the very few people in the world who have reliable information about what actually happened. Neither, I suspect, are you.

I certainly agree the Rolling Stone reporting was grossly irresponsible and that much of the Duke reporting was grossly irresponsible and that some harm should be blamed on SJWs.

However, the harm done is infinitesimally small compared to the harm done to rape victims by police officers, public officials, and others in similar distortions in the opposite direction. It doesn't appear to be a systematic power dynamic in favor of SJWs. If anything these cases are perfect examples of how ineffective SJWs are at getting their agenda to result in real convictions or policy changes.

Are you aware of any policy changes that resulted from those cases? If anything they seem to have led journalistic institutions and universities to be more careful reporting rape allegations.

> The prosecutor in the Duke Lacrosse case was disbarred for his activities in what can only be called a witch hunt.

I'm glad he was disbarred. But again, that supports my assertion that SJWs aren't really getting away with anything here.

> Olivia Benson led the charge against "double plus ungood" thinkers.

Olivia Benson the fictional T.V. character?

> See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guthrie_vs._Elliott

This case does seem like a miscarriage of justice to me. However, again, there has been an outpouring of support for him. And this seems to be a one-off case, not a growing phenomenon. And the number of people who do harass women, like actually making death threats, etc, and never being punished... is huge.

This is my whole issue. There will inevitably be crazy violent people on both sides, and miscarriages of justice in both directions. The anti-SJW crowd seems to have no sense of proportion. A handful of cases that were, in the end, victories for them are evidence of a systematic problem, while constant miscarriage of justice in the other direction is completely ignored.

Are there morally bankrupt SJWs? Of course. And morally bankrupt baseball players and morally bankrupt pre-school teachers. Are any of these widespread social problems or fundamental flaws in social justice, baseball, or pre-school, respectively? I don't think so.

They are impressive. Congrats to him.

I'm curious what he did to get to that level.

I notice that most projects he's actually billing around $50-60/hour - which is not that impressive for the US (probably much better where he lives). Maybe he stands out because his advertised rate is relatively high, and he cuts them a special deal each time?

The other thing is, why stay on UpWork after the connection is made, why not just build the client base and use UpWork as a lead source?

Maybe he starts with non-Upwork clients and then brings them "into" UpWork, getting 5 stars every time?
>So if you're reading this and you're one of those new or interested people: please don't let this turn you off from discovering and learning tools like sed or Python.

Your comment has exactly the same effect on me that its content warns people about. I'm not interested in an industry where people engage in policing other people's tone and word choices in such a harsh way.

For every imaginary person you claim who might be turned off from the industry when reading such terms, there's some other imaginary person who feels more connected and enjoys the atmosphere better maybe because it seems more honest and less "professional".

To all the people in their early twenties who are using this article to justify their sensitivity and irrationality and lack of control over their emotions:

Don't.

Yes, having the mind of a child is correlated with creativity. The trick is being responsible, increasing your awareness, and learning empathy while continuing your journey of self-expression.

Michael Jackson is a terrible role model. Any spoiled child disconnected from reality can be an artist. Being a great person takes more work.

Tolerance is not being politically correct, it's tolerating people who aren't. In recent history, it was not politically correct to be gay. In fact, things which were gay were very offensive to a lot of people. Tolerance is having the common sense to know the difference between someone who's trying to offend you and someone who's not. If you are "harmed" or "off-put" by those phrases, then you really need to go out and talk to these people that you think are so offensive. When someone doesn't mean you any offense, then none should be taken. Maybe you never played sports, or cursed, or got in fights, and that's fine. But to judge someone on their connotation rather than their meaning is irrational. I say shit's gay all the time. And I have no problem throwing around the word faggot. Does that mean I'm intolerant to gay people? No. Does it mean I'm trying to offend boys who like boys, or girls who like girls? No. They're just words. And when I use them I'm trying to express an emotion that I feel towards a certain experience or person. An emotion that is easily understood by those who are actually listening. But impossible for someone to understand if they are just looking to be offended. Words mean what the speaker intends them to mean, not what you want to interpret them to mean.

Counting is a shortcut I use sometimes. For example: instead of focusing exclusively on the 6 specific things I want to get from the grocery store, I remember the number 6. Then before I checkout, I ensure I have at least 6 items. Works for short lists, not so much for long lists.
Hi, I think your resume is fairly strong. You seem to have the right structure.

The thing to remember is that recruiters typically spend about 6 seconds on a resume. And this I hear from recruiters.

The objective section is crucial by the way, and can be improved by succinctly summarising your past. It is often the only thing that will be read.

You should prepare a tailor-made resume for each application, with the name of the job title you are applying for, in each application. This creates a level of personalisation that will put you ahead of other applicants.

If you want more help I'd get the book, 'Great Answers to Tough Interview Questions' by Martin Yate. In part, it describes how to sculpt your resume. Everyone I know who got that book got multiple job offers, and no, I'm not an affiliate for the book!

In this very specific example:

It doesn't keep the crawler state (which links have been visited, which links are discovered but not yet visited) persistently.

Healthy lifestyle will do wonders for your memory. Try to keep your stress levels down, eat right and sleep well.
Memory can be trained too. Look up Dominic O'Brien or Tony Buzan. Their books are a bit sensationalist, but the techniques work, e.g. you'll quickly be able to memorize a full deck of cards.
Don't know if that kind of training will improve all aspects of memory, but it certainly won't hurt
Yes, he wasn't talking about women specifically but it's like "manned up" or "throws like a girl". It's a figure of speech based on the assumption that women are weaker than men. At one time such metaphors were common but they're no longer considered polite. Times have changed and if you want your writing to have the effect you intended, you need to know these things.

I suspect the author wanted to sound a bit rude, though.
I agree with that. After working with it for long time Java as a language / platform encourage super bloated applications. If IBM / Oracle's code is bloated and memory hungry and including core Java libraries then its mostly Java problem at root not the developer problem.
I think much of what you've said can be applied to other types of social outcasts e.g. drunks, gamblers, etc.

I registered my kid with whoisGuard toddler. It was a pretty good experience. They take care of paperwork, pta meetings and bake sales. Unfortunately, i didnt know about it until my daughter was in 2nd grade which meant she was registered for a full year. 4th graders spam her with offers for writing papers. One kid said he was getting PS4 and she could play it if she loaned him her mobile for a second so he could text his mom to get the right one, but he ran up the data plan.
As people have mentioned already, its definitely about forming habits. 2 things that are helpful in doing that are lists and alarms. My understanding is that we forget things because our attention, at that moment is focused on something else other than what we are supposed to be doing. We have fantastic alarm systems for getting nutrition or getting rid of waste materials from our body - but alas nothing for products of our thoughts. Lists are great tools for refocusing thoughts. So start with lists. Put it contextually, like on the back of door or the place where you keep your shoes if you want to remember what you should leave the house with. Then add alarms to add the space and time awareness. Check some IFTTT recipes or set location based reminder on your phone to go over the checklists.
What would be challenging is refocusing from the current context to what you are supposed to when the alarm goes off. Don't be too harsh on yourself - remember its a leaky bucket by design :P

This is nothing new, and won't work in any properly configured environment using DHCP Snooping.

It's also a bit dubious to claim that DHCP is connectionless. It takes 4 packets to complete a DHCP request. While maybe not connection oriented, it's definitely at least a handshake.

I've written numerous packet generators to test DHCP servers, and DHCP Snooping implementations. This is really nothing new.

Having a system is definitely a solution.
However, maybe you have in reality a different problem than forgetting "things".
Let me ask you,
did you ever knew where you put your things?

Most people's mind is quite capable of remembering things.
The problem is, we are creatures of habit.
We are used to execute routines automatically and unconsciously.
This is a problem as often it's hard to recall things which are perceived or done unconsciously.
So, maybe you want to try to do things - live your life - more conscious and mindful?
Well, I'd understand your concerns if you asked about Haskell or Erlang for web-development.

You're making a huge leap of faith in using words that you know others find offensive, even if you yourself don't find them offensive nor mean to use them in an offensive manner. The leap of faith you're making is that _everyone_ will interpret their meaning in the way you've intended them to be used. Does it seem like that will always work out? The short answer is no. No it will not.

This is _EXACTLY_ why we have conferences now enacting a code of conduct [0].

"Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion, technology choices, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention."

The phrases used above certainly fall within the provision above.

Your experience is far off mine :).

Most (all) programmers I socialize with seem to get paid for results, not lines of code.

For some reason though, a few of them build things that are way more complex than they need to be for no better reason (as far as I can tell) that they like doing so.

PoCs like this are cool. This is a valid and potentially catastrophic attack against network segments. One should study and consider countermeasures against such attacks on your turf. Python and Scapy are super cool and if you haven't had a play it's well worth your time.
You are essentially saying that an SDF texture isn't as good as a freetype glyph rendered at the resolution it is being displayed at. If you don't have to change the zoom of what you are looking at you don't have to use a texture at all, you can just use the pixels from the freetype vector render directly.
Unless I'm missing something, your link does match his list, but it's labeled "Top TV Shows on RT", not comedy. Most of those shows are definitely not comedy.

> "if you want your writing to have the effect you intended"

And here's where we are in strong disagreement.

You know exactly what the author meant. I know exactly what the author meant. We both know that the author did not intend to offend anyone, and being a blog post, was speaking the way he would to himself or to his friends.

However, the way that I see things, is that yourself, as well as others in this thread, want to make-believe that the meaning was somehow lost because the author didn't use words and phrases from the PC playbook. This is where I believe I our argument lies (and I think you'd agree). Just because you are offended, or you think someone else was offended, doesn't change what the author meant, and it hasn't prevented you from knowing what the author meant.

In my opinion, the use non-PC language is a very effective tool of weeding out people who aren't good listeners.

"Almost all middle class people in America today still have really nice TVs, mobile phones, Internet, etc., which suggests that their standard of living is quite good in absolute terms. We should be looking at absolute terms, not relative terms."

Absolute terms are meaningless in this context. It's like comparing a poor person living in Appalachia to an indigenous person living on a remote island. Does the Appalachian resident have a better standard of living ? Absolutely. Does it matter in the context of the US ? Absolutely not.

Also, you conveniently leave out some of the largest symptoms of wealth inequality. It's not consumer goods that define our standard of living, it's things like:

- Being able to pay for college without going into significant amounts of debt

- Not living paycheck to paycheck and being able to save money each month

- Eating well and not being forced to live on substandard food products that are extremely unhealthy

- Being able to afford quality health insurance, and being able to afford the deductibles and co-pays associated with it

- Being able to save up for a down-payment on a home, and then being able to afford to both pay the mortgage and keep the home in decent shape (new roof, water heater, furnace, etc.)

- Being able to afford transportation that doesn't constantly break down and result in more unplanned expenses that one cannot afford

- Being able to retire (if one wants to)

- And, most importantly, not having to work 2 or 3 jobs and have quality free time that can be used to explore hobbies and/or better oneself
>>It doesn't keep the crawler state

It does though. Just not in the way you're expecting.

The timestamp support would keep it from re-downloading anything already downloaded (though it would do an HTTP head for the comparison).

Or, it also has a "no-clobber" feature that would keep it from even trying to download.

Yes, both approaches are more limited than a specific state datastore, but there is state.
The bulge is enough for an attentive pickpocket, especially with how large smartphones have become. Prevention is unlikely, so just check periodically so you aren't surprised later. Further, I think it might even signal to a potential pickpocket that you are aware of you surroundings, even though it's just habit.
Top Gear will not be earning them much anymore - Clarkson, Hammond and May have left. They went to Amazon, to produce an original auto tv show there.

from here: http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/tv/panic-at-the-bbc-as-...

"Maintaining an international foothold is vital for Top Gear, which is the BBC’s biggest global brand with sales of the TV show, DVDs, books, live shows and other merchandise worth more than £50 million ($101 million) a year. BBC sources fear Evans is a complete unknown outside the UK.
Top Gear’s former three stooges are settling in well at Amazon."

"Clarkson, Hammond and May may no longer be on Top Gear, but they are still vying for the same viewers. While Top Gear’s schemes play out in public, they are busy preparing their new rival big-budget show for Amazon — and crowing about how little interference they get from their latest masters.
Along with the lack of outside pressure, the team also has cash, and lots of it, with a budget reported to be at £4 million ($8.1 million) an episode — ten times that of Top Gear’s."

So the BBC will be losing all that Top Gear money too.
The problem is most gas stations are pre-pay now. So if you want to pay with CC inside, you have to make two trips -- one to give them your card to hold onto while you pump gas, and a second trip to finalize the transaction and get your card back. Unless you know you are buying exactly $xx.xx of gas (and not a fill up), then you could just do one trip to the register.
