News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Came here from a recurrent automated search (HTML) that gets transformed to a feed (RSS/Atom), filtered, highlighted, transformed to email (HTML again), and sent to a silo where I read my alerts in batches, all with a mostly consistent layout and handy keyboard shortcuts.

Should give you an overall idea. I do this to thousands of sites. I like it very much.

I use RSS/Atom to email, so I just save an .eml and file/organize it on my file system (with all my other files).

So I got three independent interfaces: one to configure the feeds, one to read them and other to organize and search/recall. Each with different folder structure optimized for the task at hand.

Yeah, was quite a pleasant surprise, albeit the outlook is not very comforting.

I want to create value and receive value, preferably working with innovation and research on information technology, because of my formation on computer science, but any peaceful activity is valid.

These are some of the labels with which I identify myself: anarchist, atheist, abolitionist, homo economicus, libertarian, objectivist, capitalist, cosmopolitan, scientist.

Location: Brazil (a horrible place with horrible people and I want out of it, so I would like to find a company that takes Ethics seriously)

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: Yes, very

Technologies: basics of PHP, Matlab, Java, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, SysAdmin

Yeah, the way to go is with a feed reader, so you can set up filters. Takes a while, but nothing is better than having your own personalized news feed.

Interesting. Wish you best of luck.

Wild guess: the name of people you consider important plus the location in which you live/work? Just in case they ever pass by close to you, so you can try to catch up to them and have a conversation.

I have 50K regexs on a black-list to filter feeds on my reader. AI would help with some, but this brute force method goes a long way too.
Re:In UK universities there is a daily erosion of integrity on Wednesday April 25, 2018 @07:23PM (#16927344)
Here in Brazil, in a public university, I saw a policeman (among others) cheating on exams and professors knowingly ignoring it. Just one case, there were many others.

Beware of Brazilians. The de facto rule here is "fuck everybody not in my circle".

My feed reader uses a massive blacklist to filters headlines. I only click on headlines that appear interesting to me.
