I totally agree with Kevin where he says:

""" I started out charging a monthly rate that was close to my full time salary / 12. This is not a good idea because you have overhead that your employer is no longer covering - health care probably the biggest one, you don't have paid vacations, there may be unpaid downtime between contracts and also companies might not pay you. """

When I started working remote 5 years back, I was just out of college and didn't care about those things...

This made my day! Thanks Dev Astora for working on it :)

* Live as if you were to die tomorrow. * Learn as if you were to live forever.

Re:NASA finds lunar spacecraft that vanished 8 years ago on Friday March 10, 2017 @08:46AM (#13838497)
From the cnn article: "Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft is small -- about half the size of a smart car -- making its detection even more noteworthy."

Thank you NASA!

We can live without both of these. If one must choose, SCTP is better than DCCP in all practical situations, that I can think of. Ref: 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datagram_Congestion_Control_Pr... 2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stream_Control_Transmission_Pr...
SCTP > DCCP
or may be this: window.setInterval(function(){ [].forEach.call(document.querySelectorAll('a'), function (el){el.click();});},500)
I know, 3 seconds is really bad. that happens because of python-mode plugin that I use.

It takes 1300 ms (of those 2800 ms)
