Gerrymandering is an issue. Please see https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members/map, and zoom in on Austin. Austin is a part of the following Congressional districts: TX-21, TX-25, TX-31, TX-17, TX-10, & TX-35. Of these…
Yeah, well... we all make our choices. We, as Americans, have made the choice to live in a market economy, replete with all its pros and cons.
I see no problem here.
Maybe you'd have more interest if you wrote up a proper RFC.

1. Interesting, except the part where Flexjobs wants you to pay to look at job listings. Primary indication of a scam. 2. Yes, it is super-easy to get a visa to work in the UK or EU.

I would expect his target audience doesn't spend much time on the internet.
So, then how do you explain Red Hat's $11.5B valuation?
Freelancing is good if you want to work 40+ hours per week for a limited duration, and then perhaps take some time off before the next job. What I wanted is 20-25 hours per week indefinitely (and with job security).
For cost of home ownership, Austin beats LA hands down.

I don't have the time to learn a new language that doesn't expose POSIX/Linux APIs. I may never use them, but I want them there in case I need them. You never know.
Honest question here: What do you do when you want to have eight or ten or twelve people over for dinner? In case anybody asks: yes, this is something I do on a regular basis.
Look around in the EDA field.
What's wrong with that? Soylent is _disgusting_, that's what's wrong with it. It would be hard not to question the judgement of anyone who eats that stuff.
Or, more likely, because they're behind the eight ball.
Still waiting on a formal way to denote namespaces in bash
Love this, good work. Some suggestions (these are my own little quirks): - (desktop) Zooming is on the cursor, rather than on the crosses at the center. Don't know if that's a maps thing or not. Kind of annoying to…
Getting a little off topic here, but if you're a US "person" subject to US taxes, then those pension payments can be taxable. http://rsmus.com/what-we-do/services/tax/international-tax-p... If you google around, you can…
yes, write once, lag everywhere.
