I believe the Time Machine extension was deprecated due to an exploit that caused irreversible time paradoxes. You might want to remove it.

I often notice that this sizable community is brushed to the wayside because they aren't the in-crowd of city-based IT enthusiasts, with their regions being considered "flyover" and their opinions devalued. Yet still, in small towns, we do have Slack and hackerspaces and lots of professional development, just like the cities.
Having recruiters that further disparage the newer generations and grow increasingly out of touch is doing nothing to boost their numbers, at least in my field. Everyone I know who would be a best fit for their agency is a privacy geek who wants nothing to do with them. Outreach would be an incredibly lucrative opportunity for them to gain talent.
He began trash talking Edward Snowden within 60 seconds, and complained that anyone under 25 (pretty much the sole demographic present at the event) were averse to paperwork and would never make it in the "real world". He also uncannily romanticized doing paperwork and laughed aloud at the prospect of any employees doing any sort of creative work, saying that "engineers are just pencil pushers" (paraphrasing).
He mocked the media's representation of the NSA in a characteristically dissociative way, alluding to that he genuinely had no clue why the public perception of the NSA is what it is.
He finished it off by rambling about "quantum tunneling and metaphysics" (never knew the NSA was so interested in the works of Arthur Schopenhauer) and more or less begging the public at the event to come work for the NSA, saying they were desperately in need of talent.
Up until this experience, I had often considered the public perception of the NSA to be probably unrepresentative of reality, and my opinion could be summed up as "a big fan of Splinter Cell". Now, personally, I am entirely turned off to the prospect of employment with them.
Previously, I had envisioned that any issues within the agency could be remedied by new talent reforming internal policies, but I believe the problems that exist within it are pathologic, and I was enthusiastically informed that any position I had within the agency would be "pencil pushing", "paperwork", and a complete lack of creative fulfillment. What a way to kill prospective talent.
I've done all the tweaks and configurations found online, and nothing has made a marked improvement whatsoever. Not going to switch, but it's incredibly frustrating.
Going into the realm of personal experience, I made the choice to go to church as a child, and reading the bible expanded my horizons to lots of other religious texts and eventually philosophy and literature. My closest friends in this hobby and discipline started the same way as well.
I am not positing that it opens everyone to philosophy and new ideas (as it is deeply steeped in tradition), but that it opens those who may already be interested and gives them an "in".
I can tell you that there are many people who would be affected by a size limit... and I want them to be.
The only other news I really care about is local, and I'm lucky to have local news sites that are pretty much plain text.
Was expecting to learn some security techniques, instead got essentially port scanned :)
Here's a link to what seems to be the party's response. From my reading, possibly tainted by translation, he agreed to step down if the European Parliament's Consultative Committee on Harassment at Work found that he had engaged in harassment, they did, and he resigned, but they were unable to remove him from the list due to regulations.
While I can't seem to find an account of what exactly transpired, it does appear that the European Parliament's Consultative Committee on Harassment at Work concluded that something did indeed transpire that falls under sexual harassment.
That being said, my most used is probably either regular Notepad or Notepad++ in a Windows env.
