Definitely not PC/woke by today's standards. But by the standards of the time, his writing was routinely considered to be scandalous, especially his latter works. It helps, as with everything, to put things into context. Althoug

- The Dune books. The depth of everything in it awes me. Every time I re-read them, I find some nuance I missed from the last reading. The way it portrays politics, religion, and basically the entangled web of life in general blew my mind w

Haha! Well, one can hope, I suppose. Except, this time of the year, the Philippines' hiring scene gets to be pretty sucky. Fogeys like me get to "compete" with boatload after boatload of fresh grads with nothing but two months of Visual Bas

I actually understand where they're coming from. As xanadohnt said, in the grand scheme of life annoyances, this might seem to be of little consequence. i.e., big picture, this is nothing. But most of us here are programmers; we tend to

Unless I get access to their clients list/information, and can positively identify clients that joined them largely (or even solely) because of the (relative) strength of my resumé, it'd be kind of hard to prove that their misuse of my brag

They're not exactly spammers, per se. This company was spun off of one I was part of for a little over a month; that's how they got my resumé. However, I've never been a part of this newer company, and I'm pretty sure the contract I signe

I'm sure others have been in similar (if not exactly the same) situations; what have you done, and how did things turn out? It's highly likely that my "problem" has one clear course of action; but for someone who's been out-of-it for a whil

I didn't downvote that comment, but only because I can't. I obviously can't speak for those that did, but I'd downvote your reply because it seems more an ill-formulated rationalization than an actual answer. Posting a link just because it

I agree with your point, but I think it's an interesting project, nevertheless. Mostly, I'd like to see if there really would be enough people to make this happen. Also, chalk it up to morbid curiousity as to how good their results would
