About me: I am passionate about what I do, and am quick to pick up new skills as the need arises. The technologies that I listed above are what I would consider to be my core skills, but they are not my only skills. In the past I've worked with Python, Perl, and Go as well to name a few. In a perfect world, maybe I'd get the chance to finally work with Elixir in a professional capacity!

My last role was a senior software engineer at Slickdeals, but I got caught up in a recent round of layoffs that hit a third of the company. I like solving problems, and I tend to use code to do so. I've primarily been on the backend side of things in my career, and that's definitely where I'm most comfortable. I like to think that I can adapt to new languages/circumstances fairly well, and am looking for a good group of folks to work with!

  Location: Las Vegas, Nevada
  Remote: yes, vastly preferred
  Willing to relocate: highly unlikely, but perhaps for the right opportunity?
  Technologies: PHP and Java primarily for my professional career.  I have a very strong interest in security/reverse engineering and I'd like a good excuse to really dive into Elixir and/or Rust.  Some hobby work with Go, Python and Vue.  Various devops stuff (Ansible, RabbitMQ, MongoDB, etc).

I would really love to find out the answer to this question, but I don't think I'll be able to.

I'm in a similar situation, except with a worse reason for requiring everyone to come back to the office. We were told that the optics of us not coming back to the office as the city is reopening could destroy the company. I can assure you that NO ONE is going to say "well I was going to spend money with these people but they're not in the office, so I'll go elsewhere".

Further, we are being given less than 24 hours notice to come back into the office. It's just absurd, and it has eroded any trust that I once had in the company.

I’m a software developer in the travel/hospitality/entertainment industry and I (along with the rest of my coworkers) took a 20% cut around the end of March.

The story that I always remember is that TMNT is based roughly on Daredevil

In Daredevil, Matt Murdoch pushes an old man out of the way of a truck that contains chemicals that blind him but give him superhuman abilities. He is then trained by his mentor Stick the fight against The Hand.

In TMNT, there is an incident that involves chemicals getting into a sewer that transforms the turtles as well as the rat that is with them. That rat is named Splinter, and he trains the turtles to fight against The Foot.

Also no particular point aside from my own amusement!

SoftICE and Diablo are the reasons I have a passion for software security and do software development for a living! Ripping Diablo and battle.net to pieces to understand how to make it do what I wanted it to do instead of what Blizzard wanted it to do was how I spent a good chunk of my childhood.

So yes, thank you very much for literally changing my life, SoftICE!

I just wanted to thank you for dnscrypt-proxy. I had seen it mentioned in another post so I had it saved in an open tab for later. Seeing it mentioned here again prompted me to actually install it. Very much worth the ~5 minutes it took to get it up and running!

In addition to the memory requirements, I seem to recall that it works at the block level, as opposed to the file level. So you could have two of the same file, but maybe one copy is written at the start of a block and one is written in the middle of a block. Same file, different blocks, so no deduplication.

I just tried this as well using my AT&T Straight Talk phone number, and the result was the same (message reports being sent, but never shows up on my end).

I'll also fire off an email so that you can have at least two numbers to test with.
