In fact, two weeks ago I had to take a similar gambit. Here is what I sent this time (to a large group of alumni of the unit I served in). I got a few offers, but I'm still open to propositions: My CV in one sentence: "Ask anyone

At 19 my raw assembly optimization skills weren't even at national level, and we live in a _tiny_ nation. Some people do amazing things with x86 ASM.

Author here. Due to popular request, I extracted the text from the PDF, it's in a gist at the bottom. A funny (on my account) story: After three days with little sleep, the last half-day spent finding just one more byte to remove so it

Of course the letter worked in the technical sense. In the business sense - The letter was sent as a PDF to a contact I had, who promised to print it and hand it to the relevant recruiter. I never heard back from them, but I did get accepte

Indeed, sad. As a teenager in a country with conscription, you do what you can. Had I had a choice, this letter may have been targeted at Google. For the record, I think conscription is a bad idea for many reasons.

Author here - I found this old PDF in my gmail inbox, and have lost the source long ago. I'll see if I can extract the text out of it.

TL;DR Cryptol is an amazing tool for communicating crypto specifications with your peers, for testing crypto implementations and for doing crypto research and formal verification. It has the most amazing and practical use of a SAT solver I&

Hi! I'm really interested in this, and all my anecdotal data (in the hundreds of points) points against what you're saying. I'd love to discuss your experience. I can also bring a few biologists into the discussion, to make i

I never installed Wordpress in production, this is the first time I hear about ESI and in general have almost no relevant experience, but maybe this suggestion has some worth: ESI sounds like it would couple your web application code to you

Simpler: include in the contract a clause that says "the version of this text that counts is in a PDF with SHA1 23afb87c...". You still need a way to prove that the other side really signed the document you hold, and willingly. Notaries wor

There's no technological problem with creating a "contract bureau" - just demand contracts to be in a somehow-digital format (scanned handwritten document counts) and have everyone send [SHA1(document) + names of entities signed on the docu

This is one of the best pieces of advice that I've ever given, so mark it :) To approach a hacker and not be ignored, you need one thing: to be a hacker. Now, if you're not a software hacker, just don't talk about software. Start a convers
