Thanks!

What resume template for LaTeX do you like?
daned··on GitHub is your resume so keep your resume in GitHub
I agree with you and perhaps someone should change the title. But I am still disappointed one would see fit to dash off 50-100 words without taking the time to read the article. "Ooh, this guy pressed one of my buttons! Here we goooooooo."

It disappoints me that so few people here read the linked article. This article talks about writing your resume in markdown and only tangentially mentioned git at all in that writing it in markdown will make it versionable. The only direct mention of github is a link to a repo that converts resumes to pdf.

Maybe not my real phone number but Google Voice number? Sure, who cares?

Did you click on this link? It is not the same as the one you linked to.
daned··on Buffett Will Steer Investors to Airbnb to Avoid Price-Gouging by Omaha Hotels
I imagine Airbnb units will raise prices as well, as happened when I tried to book Airbnb in New Orleans without realizing it was Mardi Gras.
daned··on NSA Coworker Remembers Edward Snowden: "A Genius Among Geniuses"
Yes, this cracks me up. He was joining an organization of cheats and snitches and they got mad when he cheated.
daned··on Who Says Math Has to Be Boring?
>watching someone poke at a calculator isn't as exciting as watching slam dunks

Well, that's true. I get really excited by both math/science and basketball so I feel I'm coming from an unbiased position here: Unless you have a spectacular color man commentating on the guy using his calculator, displays of physical prowess are going to win every time in terms of 'fun to watch'. The difference is the deep sense of satisfaction that comes from learning something. This sort of positive result from an insight can continue for a lifetime, whereas, for me at least, 'my' team winning a sporting contest makes me feel good for a few fleeting moments.

edit: missing words.

Awesome. I love me some Space Disco.
daned··on Why Microsoft Word must die
Couldn't agree with you more. My SO is a PhD candidate and she doesn't know what she's missing when it comes to collaborative version control. They spend a lot of time sending around modified office docs.

I thought I had it tough as a Sales Engineer but I am a piker compared to these guys.

And of course, the grand-daddy of this genre: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TradeWars_2002
daned··on Non-repudiation and the joy of knowing you've been hacked
Why do so many people need access to this 'admin' account. Is this an infrastructure problem? I'm struck by the idea the author is discussing how to properly share access to a single account on an OS that was conceived as multiuser.

Thanks for the reply!

As a reasonably competent unemployed technologist I would be interested in hearing more about how you go about marketing.
daned··on 3D printing is nothing special
> do you ever think about how

Well, yes, but maybe I'm not the average case. For example, How many ice scrapers do I need to buy for walmart to think it's snowing here? If I go to the five nearest walmarts and buy all their available ISO400 film will that land on someone's desk?

daned··on 3D printing is nothing special
The kitchen is a good place to do this exercise.
daned··on 3D printing is nothing special
I think there is a worldwide market for maybe five 3D printers.

Sounds like debit failing and falling back to a CC transaction, but I am not a payments expert.

I can't accept the one off 'hacking the slot machines' comment.
