Ok peeps, we're 4 months into 2024 and I've been without work this whole time so we're going to try this again. If you know of any senior software engineering positions that are actually being hired for, please drop them below.
I have 12 cumulative years of experience, so that shouldn't be an issue, and I know most of the languages in use nowadays well enough to be dangerous, but I am extremely proficient in TypeScript, Python, and Ruby. What I'd rather do more than anything though is have an opportunity to use Go professionally.
The case of Clarence Thomas’s new clerk taints the entire judiciary
Justice #Clarence#Thomas has hired #Crystal#Clanton to be one of his law clerks, the most elite assignment a young law school graduate can secure.
The shock is this:
In 2015, when Clanton was 20
and working for a conservative group allied with the justice’s wife, #Ginni Thomas,
Clanton apparently sent racist texts to a fellow employee:
“I HATE BLACK PEOPLE,”
one text read.
“Like f--- them all … I hate blacks. End of story.”
(In Clanton’s text, the expletive was spelled out.)
It is impossible to overstate the prestige that attaches to a Supreme Court clerkship.
The job is a golden ticket awarded to just 36 each year
— about 1 in 1,000 law graduates, the best of the best.
Major law firms lure Supreme Court clerks with signing bonuses of a half-million dollars.
Clanton, who graduated from the Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University in 2022, will be the third high court clerk from that institution since 2021.
The New Yorker’s Jane Mayer unearthed Clanton’s texts in 2017, in an article about 🔹 Turning Point USA🔹, the conservative youth organization run by #Charlie#Kirk.
Notably, 🔸Clanton, the group’s field director🔸, didn’t deny writing the texts.
“I have no recollection of these messages and they do not reflect what I believe or who I am and the same was true when I was a teenager,” she wrote in an email to Mayer.
Anyone know anything about running a #rock/#crystal shop?
I really want to sell #minerals but I don't have much storage space.
Also I don't know if there's any room for a non-"woo woo" shop. I mean I love a wizard/witchy aesthetic but I'm more interested in the actual #geology etc than any potential magic powers
Here's the first #rock I started my #mineral collection with, around 2 years ago.
It's so gorgeous. It's spessartine garnets growing on a smoky quartz cluster. The matrix is microcline, with mica inclusions which contribute a cute sparkle.
Microcline forms during slow cooling of orthoclase and is common in granites and pegmatites.
These minerals formed together out of intrusive granite at the subduction of the Paleo-Pacific Plate underneath the Eastern Block of the North #China Block. They are besties.
This cluster was collected from the Wushan Spessartine Mine in Fujian. #Geology#Crystal
I think it's about time for another #introduction, because it's been a while and a bit has changed.
Hi, I'm Chris. I'm a software engineer of about 13 years, with most of that being in both front end and back end web development. In a lot of circles I'm known as the #crystal guy, because for a long time that was my favorite programming language. I wouldn't say I have a favorite anymore, but I use #crystallang, #zig, #ruby, #python, #typescript, and a ton of other languages.
I am also a father of 2 beautiful children. Both of them were born prematurely, so that number will not be increasing.
Today it's #Topaz Vs #Corundum in #MinCup23. Both are great #mineral's, but I vote for Corundum. Because my humans are so old that they remember record players that had needles with corundum #crystal's...
