drake01 | 7 years ago | on: Going Solo, Successfully
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...

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!
drake01 | 9 years ago | on: DCCP: a new transport layer protocol which draws from TCP and UDP
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.

I know, 3 seconds is really bad. that happens because of python-mode plugin that I use.
