Remote: Is a must requirement.

Willing to relocate: Unfortunately, cannot at this time.

Technologies: Networking Protocols (TCP/IP, IPSec, VoIP etc.), Security, Embedded, C, C++ are the main ones.

Résumé/CV: Please see https://www.linkedin.com/in/rramadass. An overview of what i am looking for is also mentioned there. Detailed CV will be provided on request.

PS: While my profile lists projects/technologies i have worked on, i am by no means limited to them. I like to learn new domains/technologies and develop systems for/using them. For example, i am currently quite interested in Embedded Systems with a focus on Reliability; i.e. how does one design and implement them and what are the basic principles? See Michael Pont's books from SafeTTy Systems and the GRISP project for some info.
I received an email from Quora informing me of the breach, but I do not have an account. I even used the "Forgot Password" function to confirm - why did I receive this email?
I consider plain text emails to basically be like sending postcards across the internet.

I don't want other people to read them but I'm resigned to the fact that they are.

In that context I'm not all that concerned about Google scanning my email to serve me ads that I'm blocking anyway.
That sort of games do require physical activity, though; plus some verbal contact.
What makes you think nuclear has less severe externalities?

And I am not even including in my considerations that countries have totally mismanaged the storage in the past (e.g. UK dumping it into the ocean, Germany dumping it into an old mine etc.)

Well they won't have a choice soon, Hangouts is extinguishing next year.
I really would like to say that I find it ridiculous that mac users consistently bash Firefox due to feeling it doesn't belong while they use Google Chrome.

How is Google Chrome more AppleOS then Firefox? Granted I can't stand AppleOS and find the UI to be totally frustrating still in 2018 and how old it feels. How is Firefox any different then Google Chrome?
Lets play videos did exist much earlier for quite a few different games.
The elephant in the room in this kind of reasoning is Japan.

Japan shows that the narrative of "good country" vs. "bad country" and interest rates beyond the control of the Central Bank have little to do with reality.
Getting even more to the point: why does an installer even need to use Silverlight to render a progress bar!?!? As far as I know, these things have been there since 16-bit Windows and continue to work fine in Win10:

The advantage of Duck's bangs is that you don't have to install or configure anything beyond searching with DuckDuckGo. I've managed to guess the correct bang-abbreviation plenty of times (Urban Dictionary? ud, OpenStreetMap? osm, Hacker News? Guess!).
I also received an email, do not have an account, even a partially created one like you. Odd.
I have read the Bible several times. Not more than fifteen, I think.

I don't see much overlap between the popular conception of Jesus and who the Bible depicts him as, but that may be due to growing up in hyperconservative culture, which is oddly unfamiliar with the text it claims to be based on.

The more I've read the Bible, the more impressed I've become with Jesus as depicted. Your perception of him as necessarily a lunatic or liar puzzles me.

If he was insane, he shouldn't be able to make coherent arguments, let alone handily stump the most talented scholars in his culture. More to the point, I feel like he wouldn't have so consistently focused on taking care of others nor preached such a consistent message.

If he was a systematic liar, he must have had a motivation for being one. Perhaps I'm indoctrinated, but I can't see what that could have been based on my knowledge of the text.

I assume you're reading the Bible as a pseudohistorical document, with the a priori assumption that all the supernatural events must be false?

The arguments for him being God do largely hinge on the Bible being true (perhaps not in every single tiny detail, but certainly on the major claims). If his miracles are lies, then your position makes more sense to me (though they'd be lies from his followers, not him, and I'd wonder why the early Christians went with it, as they were promised the opposite of wordly wealth and power).

Note that I wasn't trying to defend Lewis' argument - if you don't find it convincing, you don't, and there's little point trying to persuade you otherwise.

I'm mostly puzzled by your perception of Jesus. I myself do believe he is God Incarnate, but I'm used to people seeing him as fictional, a moralist, or a guru, not a madman.
Nice small project. This uses a chrome-headless on the background to perform the screenshot, isn't it?

Also, you have included a .DS_Store file in your repository.
Please let me know where I either stated something as a fact that isn't, or didn't point out that something was my personal opinion, interpretation or how I remembered it.
The closest thing I find that might resemble a conspiracy theory in my post above is probably the part about convient bugs that makes Google products lag in other browsers.

In that particular case I agree: it might just be that the front-end devs at Google are seriously unprofessional or that their QA team is really understaffed or bad or something.

But I think I pointed to that alternative, just that I didn't find it plausible.

Reasonable alternative explanations for why the search results page would keep one core on my machine spinning up, but obly in Firefox or why there's always something with Calendar (but only in Firefox) might be accepted.

But personally, even as a one man team at the moment, I try to make sure it works in all browsers.

It rewards popularity in itself. It just happens that most people are at or below average and average isn't anything to write home about. It rewards lower effort for higher returns as well. That also isn't remotely new. Gossip rags sell more than even accessible science magazines let alone journals.

It isn't stupidity in itself that pays. Make a channel of hitting yourself in the groin every day and you won't even break $10k/year.
Are you not concerned with NSA or other five-eyes countries (or Israel, which had unfettered access to raw data from the US[0])? I mean, it's downright dystopian what the Chinese are doing lately in regards to privacy, but what advantage will they have over you as an individual if they have all your data? If I had to (or was able to) choose which government had my data, the NSA or the Chinese government, I might (perhaps naively) choose the Chinese.

On a related note, Microsoft gave the NSA complete backdoor access to Skype years ago[0], not to mention Outlook.com and who knows what else the NSA "needed" to build Prism and other tools, which remote contractors in Bahamas apparently have access to (thanks Snowden!).

The assumption behind your whole argument is wrong. Choosing a typeface is not typography.

See: http://ia.net/blog/the-web-is-all-about-typography-period

> However using google fonts in your web projects is always a good idea as their cdn's are lightning fast (and they are free).

I would argue that the exact contrary is true. Using web fonts in your project is always a bad idea for performance and functionality reasons. Stop bloating the web. Use system fonts.

Of course Fred had bills to pay as well, but on the whole his motivations were certainly overwhelmingly altruistic. Read his Wikipedia page[1] to get an idea of what drove him to produce Mr. Rogers. Here's an excerpt:

>Trained and ordained as a minister, Rogers was displeased with the way television addressed children. He began to write and perform local Pittsburgh-area shows for youth. In 1968, Eastern Educational Television Network began nationwide distribution of Rogers's new show on WQED. Over the course of three decades, Rogers became a television icon of children's entertainment and education.

>Rogers advocated various public causes. In the Betamax case, the U.S. Supreme Court cited Rogers's prior testimony before a lower court in favor of fair-use television show recording (now called time shifting). Rogers also testified before a U.S. Senate committee to advocate for government funding of children's television.

Emacs is an OS that lacks a decent text editor (the joke is as old as Emacs).
I remember when people were laughed at for having a pull-behind luggage. Now it's normal.
Of course, going to a job for 40+ hours a week feels like being "trapped" to a lot of people. Especially when you throw in a Mortgage, car loan, student loan and some credit cards.

At that point, it's impossible to stop going to work 40+ hours a week.

> Microsoft wants to sell us more of their own products, generally speaking. It's not about throwing all private data to the open market for the highest bidder.

This is increasingly not true. Between Bing and adding ads[1] to various parts of Windows 10, I expect Microsoft’a long term business strategy will be increasingly ad-heavy. And you can’t make them un-collect the data they’ve already collected on you.

Battery life, mostly. This is also important if you’re running a lot of things at once.
How much time have you invested?
The reversal is only for cars priced over 50 000 euro (~ 57000 usd). Even for those cars, you can still get the subsidy for the amount up to 50 000 euro.

The subsidy mostly helped people get a Tesla Model S as a company car. And it is still subsidized for about 17% of 50k, which is 8000 euro a year. While the Tesla Model S is more environmentally friendly than a similar sized gasoline car, buying of smaller electric cars (like the volkswagen e-golf, tesla model 3, etc) should be encouraged more. I don't think it was a bad idea to cap the subsidy at 50 000 euro.
About four months ago I moved from VS Code to Spacemacs and it has been an extremely rewarding experience. Anyone who is afraid of Emacs or Vim should give it a try. I've heard good things about Doom and Prelude as well.
Set the default search engine to DuckDuckGo, and just type !yt query in the address bar. No mouse necessary.
Killing off the add-on I still needed firefox for ended my last usage of it. Maybe they should have done that last?
Any way to order them online ? Ordering $50 for even basic algorithms books, just cause I want them on paper seems more than a bit excessive.
Consider the complexity of supporting all the dozens of CPU instruction sets and a few dozen more built-into-the-CPU hardware peripherals/extensions (e.g. SSE, hardware random number generators, etc). There's probably a thousand different combinations thereof across x86, ARM, MIPS, etc. There's only so many different kinds of hardware out there (and half as much quirky bullshit if you take out all the Sony laptops!)

Now consider how many websites that exist with all kinds broken code, use of dead APIs, old versions of, well, everything. Yet a modern browser can display those sites just fine 99% of the time. Users expect this!

Making a modern browser that works across all those nearly infinite combinations is considerably more difficult than making a kernel boot on a new board with a plethora of datasheets out in the wild to download at your leisure.
AdultsOnlySpace and sexchatsexchat.com/peeps/ have options for creating your own site / blog there, so long as all content has everyone over 18.

Certainly there are other wordpress multi-site powered adult options still out there.

If tumblr keeps the API oAuth stuff working for NSFA blogs then it's simple to import. Hopefully content will still remain available via backend and API past the 17th for blog admins.

A backup, auto-export service would be nice for end users and connected friends / followers, from tumblr, or wordpress or other platforms. You can never trust your content hosted on other people's computers. (or your own for that matter without a good off site backup system in place)
Seriously, let’s be real. How much experience does this elementary school teacher have with the previous generation? None, probably.

Through all of time we’ve heard this. The current generation is supposedly rubbish in some way the previous generation was not. Instead it’s been the opposite. Each succeeding generation has surpassed the previous in any human quality. I have immense confidence that our collective children will be the same. We are better people than our parents. Our kids will be better than us. No doubt about it.

Unless the compiler can prove you're never going to run into that case, it can't remove the call, and because the call is an imported function it still has to create the import and have an entry in the IAT for it, so it needs to be resolved at load time. Not all that surprising IMHO.
Currently there is a huge trend at the Chaos Communication Congress because the new buildings are so big and the distances far. Last year many places were actually sold out. It's even better if you outfit it with some LEDs and stuff! (So if anyone is going this year - wheels recommended.)
Sadly this is my story also. I use Vivaldi as my main browser now, which is Chromium based. Firefox does work awesome and is normally what I program my scripts through headlessly but in personal use FF just gets bad periodically.

While the Amiga was a very good 2d graphics machine, it really sucked hard in 3d. While the world was preparing for 3d, Commodore brought us ...CD32.

If the Amiga had a good 3d polygon rasterizer chip in the beginning of the 90s, it may have been alive today.
On mobile? Because it works fine on my Samsung phone. Although, I very rarely use it, so take that for what it's worth.
Unlink with reference counting, not overwrite. This allows the program to "delete" itself but the file remains as an unnamed file on the drive until the last program that references it exits.

If the file name was the last hard link to the file, the file itself is deleted as soon as no program has it open.

This is my biggest gripe with Edge/IE.

- Build some webapp and get it working correctly in Chrome

- Test on Firefox. It works 90% of the time. 9% of the time it's relatively easy to support. 1% of the time it isn't worth the hassle.

- Test on Edge. It works 80% of the time. 10% it's an easy enough fix. 10% you have to move heaven and Earth to fix and when you contact Microsoft, they know about the issue but won't do anything to help.

- Test on IE. It works 60% of the time. The other 40% of the time you start looking for a new job so you don't have to write the same code a second time for IE.
Are all of your roles remote friendly? From your jobs page it reads like all are local positions. In particular I am interested in the Tech Lead role.
newanon would make great newspeak if someone rewrote 1984 for the modern world.
You're right I was overtired and was thinking of the people who actually squat over the toilet. Maybe the squatty potty would actually be the solution in this case. My comment still stands: if you're using the toilet in a non-traditional way (or even just the usual way), pleas don't deposit shit _on_ the seat, it's nasty.

They're so small that you can always have them with you to look at specimens on the spot, especially useful during walks in nature.

Bought several of them as gifts as well, can recommend!
I agree with you. When you use them in bad times to get by, they become coping mechanisms that you NEED. The problem is sometimes bad times are REALLY bad and, in those instances, a drug is better than the alternatives. The trick is to use it during that time but hang onto some semblance of moderation in the future.
Agree but to be fair it was Tesla who actually made electric cars popular and desirable and built all the charging stations for their cars so it does not make sense for them to give services to other electric cars unless some law forces them to do so.
How to Improve Your Business with the Support of Best SEO Tools
There is a strange editing mode that I stumbled on by myself, which I can do in Emacs.

Suppose I am editing a huge file, and need to make change in some other part without necessarily forgetting where I am. I just open a new buffer for the same file, edit the desired area, and close the new buffer. I have the old position restored automatically in the old buffer. Of course, this can be done to arbitrary number of levels.

This is because Emacs separates the concept of buffer and the file it visits. This is a basic concept, but its use in the above manner is not something I have explicitly seen mentioned.

Do other editors (vi, eclipse, sublime) have similar features?
A great feature on Playstation is Family Management using sub-accounts. You can set time limits where it will log them out automatically. You can also setup a schedule with certain hours per day and end time.

I hear lots of "how much gaming did you do when you were young?" but it isn't the same. Today big game companies engineer the games to be addictive to "win" screen time. Back then I may have sunk a lot of time into Nintendo but it was mostly solo playing or playing with friends/siblings that sat next to you. You tended to help each other out to get past levels, etc.
A Look at the Ultimate Hacking Keyboard
The more slowly decaying past makes the appeal of trance music much easier to understand. It’s a series of loops, every beat a kick, every other a snare, every 4 a baseline, and so on. Everything reinforcing the past until it all locks together. I’ve had experiences where I felt like time stopped entirely on the dance floor — even completely sober, but especially on mdma or lsd.
Yes, it uses puppeteer(headless chrome).

For the .DS_Store I totally forgot to put .gitignore :)

FWIW I highly value your posts about life in Japan! I've been studying the language two years now and intend to move there, and the Japan posts in your comment history have given me a lens into life there that I cannot find elsewhere.

I was a 1Password fan for many years, until the big push to go subscription. For now I'm just using Apple's keychain until I decide what tool to use next. If you're in Apple's ecosystem, keychain actually works pretty well.
Problem is that one can't measure social skills against anything other than ones own standards, and those evolve as generations go. In the eyes of a 1900 upper middle class person, we'd probably all be degenerates.

I'm born '86, regular access to technology since the early nineties. I'm a social kind of person, have many friends. Sometimes I just want to lock myself in for an entire weekend and play video games for 16 hours a day. Other times, I'll be having barbecues or going dancing.

And as many here have already stated, the extremes go smoothed over by time.
Gonna play devil's advocate here. Monoculture, is it really that bad? What if all these browsers start contributing to the chromium project so that we have one solid core. Chromium being open source won't end up as another IE as many seem to suggest here.

Besides, we have already settled on Google, Linux in Cloud, Windows on consumer and corporate computers. Its simple process of elimination. Market is deciding what should get eliminated. Anything that doesn't have a steady or abundant flow of resources behind it will die eventually. Of course ethics and morals don't stand chance when it is survival of the fittest but that has been the case for billions of years.

Maybe they want to keep it "authentic" and "home-made".

It might backfire if they make them "too professional".
i'd think another benefit might be 'better code' overall. has there been any study about the quality of code from these setups? number of bugs or security issues, for example?
Are they too big to just fold and store under your desk or whatever? They don't look that big in the pictures.
Well, yeah, up to a point.

But if the fixing process ends up being the equivalent in cost, time and resources as putting together an expedition lead by your favorite project manager to fly to Kabul Afghanistan and then find a Yak and shave it-- that's more like the type of disruption that "Yak Shaving" refers to. It's not just a few quick edits.

I've always wondered, how much would it take for a good team of workers to leave their cubicles and literally shave a Yak?
Agreed... Man's sinful nature, wages of sin is death, deity of Christ and sacrificial atonement with man's sinful nature as root. It's the root premise which I find to be the biggest stumbling block for most.
Sorry safari isn’t great but it’s nothing like IE. It’s got an open rendering engine maintained by multiple corporations as well as contributions from others. WebKit the core of safari works on many different operating systems unlike IE that is basically a web view into activex controls for native windows only applications. Not at all comparable
