Same. This sounds drastic to people who are in the habit of Facebooking, but I still have friends and a social life and the hours of mindlessly scrolling through low-info-density posts, likes, links, and whatnot is all gone.
You think this exchange shows a recruiter conducting a psych experiment?
All I see is a human keyword grep that is clearly failing to do their job: find relevant candidates and forward them on. I say this having been in both ends of the recruiting process and have have struggled with recruiters who had no understanding of how to read a technical resume and rejected JavaScript experts on this basis that they didn't list html in their keywords.
You are missing the point of the second amendment. The second amendment isn't about making sure we get to keep firearms for the sake of having them.
The purpose of the second amendment is to protect the right of a free people to protect themselves. This includes self-defense, but is not limited to it. Understand the context in which the Bill of Rights was written. We had just fought a long war to overthrow British rule. This meant ordinary people, farmers and craftsmen, took up and used their personal firearms.
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
In the language of the day, a well regulated Militia means a well prepared body of men 18-55.
What the founders were saying was that for this country to remain free, all able-bodied persons must have access to a means for the personal defense of their freedoms: firearms.
The second amendment is critical to freedom because it enables free people to defend individual or collective freedom from tyranny. It enshrines a method of last resort when all else fails (as it did in the American colonies on April 19, 1775).
I'm (un)fortunate enough to have taken the SAT long enough ago to have had analogies on it. I suffered through them, scoring disproportionately poorly on them as compared to my math score. It was frustrating since I'm a voracious reader. I did not understand why such an important test would require memorizing so many obscure words to perform well, especially since most of the math section is about solving puzzles and trick questions. It seemed a completely useless skill.
It was years later that my (bilingual) wife explained her view on the analogies. She saw them as logical puzzles to figure out. If a student understands word roots and has some concept of foreign (romantic) languages or latin, it is simple for them to apply this knowledge to remove possible answers, figure out properties of the words, and solve the analogy.
My high school (even with 3 years of mostly worthless spanish) never presented me this toolbox. We spent 2 years in english classes with SAT prep vocabulary tests. We memorized random words and their definitions. It never occurred to me that this was contrary to the purpose of the verbal section of the test.
It is sad that people seem to feel the same way about the math section as I felt about the analogies section. "There's no way I can memorize every possible answer."
For 99% of code, worrying about the number of cycles in an operation is an utter waste of time. It just doesn't matter. Correctness and readability trump machine efficiency.
Do you work on real-time systems, embedded code, or something similar?
This explanation helps more than the link does to tell me what this application does.
So, it's a photo and status slideshow mashup? Why not advertise it as such?
The buddhist(?) jargon makes this extremely unapproachable to people not versed in this terminology. I hear "lessons in compassion" and imagine a religious lecture over war orphan pictures or something equally unappealing.
This would be a "gravity knife": https://www.amazon.com/Victorinox-Swiss-Trekker-Pocket-Knife...
For context, I carried one of these throughout college for random boxes, cutting wires, etc.
