Wouldn't then a hash of your email also identify you as a person? The companies can still build a profile of you if they just agree to use the same hashing function :/

In my experience (I've been to FOSDEM 3 times) the language rooms were the most difficult ones to get into as they were full 90% of the time.

It also looks like Python has a main track on Saturday.

Is it possible to rebind the caps lock key? That's the only reason why I have Karabiner-Elements installed, using the caps lock key for delete_forward is the best thing ever.

Remapping the caps lock key to the delete key (delete the character in front of the cursor) has been a great productivity boost for me. Below is the karabiner.json file that I'm using for this:

{ "profiles": [ { "name": "Default profile", "selected": true, "simple_modifications": { "caps_lock": "delete_forward" } } ] }

It'd be interesting to see how H1B salaries compare to normal salaries, but that data probably isn't publicly available, right?

Another thing that I really enjoy about working remotely is not having to deal with people as much... Talking to computers is so much easier than talking to people :)

There is also a third option: freelancing. This way you can keep programming, with only a moderate amount of "management" (finding new projects to work on/dealing with clients).

This is really amazing, but I'd throw in an oculus rift for a true out of body experience.

Might be because lots of us are not using a CMS. For a simple blog page you don't even need a backend - just generate static sites with jekyll.

Having a 3rd party solution for comments is thus necessary (if you want to have comments).
