Honest question: Why would you ask this when the ad specifically says "ONSITE"?

Excellent script. It matches "401k" however, so it might be worth matching against "401k" specifically. Also, I would recommend to others to give the whole thread a once-over after running the script, as it seems I'

Same to the US. "E-post" from China to the United States is dirt cheap. Impossibly cheap. Very nice for things like electronics components.

TransferWise held up a few thousand dollars I was sending to a friend in Europe who had been stranded. It wasn't like they just didn't send it for 24 hours, it took TransferWise three weeks to make whatever determination they we

Yeah you know, it's a great way to catch up with old friends and family. Just tell them you'd like to know their technical problems, and ask them to describe them. Sounds weird at first, but people love talking about themselves an

Yes, and interestingly, the Freenode staff had previously disabled Tor access to the Freenode network for over a year or so because of "attacks" which they claimed they could not handle. This was a pretty flimsy excuse once I fina

Well, if your mom or dad pays your rent and groceries like these guys, no salary and 2-5% is totally realistic, I guess?

As an engineer that's been tasked to interview in this style, I have to say that it's possible to do with a few candidates without too much interruption to my regular duties, and it's actually my favorite method of interviewi

Ah, but nowadays there are sites that won't let you set a new password "if it is too similar to previous passwords". In particular, the US military won't let you set a password that is similar to the last ten of your p

Yes, absolutely generalized. It basically outlines a generic "world/story engine" using index cards and a kind of "rule of threes". I've used this in all kinds of systems: Shadowrun, D&D, Pathfinder, AD&

I would strongly suggest you take a look at "The Lazy DM" by Sky Flourish [0]. He has other books that are pretty good also. This method of running games will get you going immediately and takes almost no preparation. You will

Not to even mention how totally fucking useless Facebook ads are. You'll only be seeing fake likes and followers from developing countries that only serve to dilute your reach and make you pay even more. Facebook is not and never will

Yes! Jeez, thank you. These articles are nothing but clickbait, but more insidious clickbait than the other stuff, because it's cloaked behind a faux point: It's not actually a thoughtful piece of writing, but it's trying to

If you're interested in the whole concept of Roman epitaphs, I can't recommend enough Death in Ancient Rome by Valerie Hope [0]. It is a fascinating perspective on the culture of the Roman Empire which demonstrates ideas that were

Well, I didn't start a diet. All I did was cut sugar. I did and still do run a couple of miles and lift weights a few times per week, and ate the same meals every day (because I buy in bulk and prepare them ahead of time). I track all

Yes it does seem like that, doesn't it? But Romans were particularly concerned about people shitting on their graves. If you start reading Roman epitaphs, they all universally seem to follow one particular format: To the spirits of th

For me it was crouching in the bushes in my front yard at 3am chatting on IRC with the PSP homebrew since I didn't have wifi, but my neighbors did. Very nostalgic time for me.

Honestly I've been planning for a good old-fashioned Roman funeral pyre after I'm gone. Complete with some kind of monument with an inscription imploring passersby not to shit on my grave.

Yes but the problem with sky burials are the environmental contamination of leaving hundreds of bodies (or whatever remains after the vultures have their supper) to slowly decompose in one single spot. You can easily google for images of ty
