That's amazing. I was going to post that here as a follow-up, but you beat me to it. :)

On a whim, I recently updated my LinkedIn picture to a photo of myself in a multi-coloured clown wig. This put an immediate end to all messages from recruiters.

> if there was a better job available, they'd already be doing that instead of driving for Uber. So none of these people can currently do better than driving for Uber?

It's not necessarily _just_ about dealing with stagnation. It's also about finding a way for people to start contributing to open source. If you've never released anything, just patching someone else's work is a great

You can disable f.lux for specific applications. I do that I'm watching a movie as it just isn't the same when everything is orange. At least that way it's still on for the apps you need when coding etc.

On my laptop, I've been using f.lux [0] to prevent the bright monitor lighting from keeping me too alert late into the night. It took me a while to get accustomed to the hues, but I really like the way the light softens as the evening

I think "horizontal spam" is a helpful designation for this particular problem.

People can also be quite optimistic. You may think that in X months you'll have a better job, better pay, etc. "It will all work itself out." In many cases your situation doesn't improve and you're saddled with th

Here's the relevant commit. https://github.com/andk/pause/commit/0e3ab7d88a3ff6a9ea72af0... The decision to remove the registered list had already been made in 2013 and I really don't think it was

Your setup sounds pretty much like mine, so it would be portable in my case. :) Having said that, if this were available as an RBL that would also be really great.

Do you have any plans to release this software? I've got a small hosting business and SpamAssassin seems to be getting beaten on a very regular basis.

There is mention at the very bottom of this article that a great way to improve your Perl skills is to participate in the Google Summer of Code (GSoC) or the Outreach Program for Women (OPfW). I've been involved in the selection proce

Lots of good feedback in the comments, but this repository appears to be about 7 days old. I think it's fair to call it a work in progress, even if there's no disclaimer to that effect.

I'm going to be in the minority here, but when I hear Pagekit, I think of Apache::PageKit, also known as plain old "PageKit". See http://pagekit.org/

It's hard to simplify something like bullying, but there can be a pecking order involved, where people who are bullied in turn bully other people whom they feel they can influence in some way. So, in some cases you may only need to pus

I find it especially helpful to add location when posting a photo of some landmark or public event. I wouldn't tag tweets by location when I'm at home, but if I'm out it's a neat way to complement the tweet.

I can second this. I spent 2 weeks in an apartment with no hot water. The first 30 seconds or so in the shower left me struggling for air. After that, it's a lot better. Not good, but better.

Looking for a parking spot is already a form of predatory behaviour in many places. Encouraging people to put a dollar value on a public space can't help. Where do we go from here? An app to sell your spot in the grocery store checko

Indeed. Every 4 years it feels like you can talk to pretty much anyone about football. At least that's how it seems in Canada. The good thing about living in a country which almost never qualifies for the finals is that there are lot

If this article had been written about natural languages, it might be called "Why French didn't win". It may not be the world's most popular language, but it's extremely useful to a lot of people. Winning isn'

Even if the artist chooses not to distribute digitally, it may well appear online in some digital format anyway.

I didn't get the point of Alfred until I tried it out. Now it feels weird to work on a machine that _doesn't_ have it installed. The workflows and the ability to (easily) add your own are what make it so great. I use this workflow

I used say that if I ever had a son, I'd call him "McNulty". Reminds me of this Family Guy clip: "Breaking Bad is the best show you've ever seen, except maybe The Wire". https://www.youtube.com/
