Jetpens is an evil website, truly. Spent so much money on fountain pens on brands I didnt even know existed until I saw it on that site.


Thats fantastic. Thank you atdrummond.


Old style webpages are a trip. I even clicked the "DO NOT CLICK" this red button...


Facebook is having one hellva last 48 hours I tell you what.


Was really hoping an article titled 'the greatest resume I've ever seen' would show me the resume... darn


It's linked in the post! https://dsresume.com


whoops! my bad. Good eye and thank you


In fact, it doesn't look like anything is being resumed at all. He's switching to a different job sector, not resuming the old one.


This might be a confusion around a cultural translation. "The Greatest Resume I've Ever Seen" is referring to an American "Resume" which is what we call our CV (Curriculum Vitae). In the US we use the word "Resume" to describe this 1-2 page document that outlines our skills, job history, and qualifications in order to apply for a job.

So for example in the post, this is the Resume/CV that they are referring to: https://dsresume.com/

So it isn't referencing the verb "to resume", but is instead referencing the noun "Resume", which is an American colloquialism for a CV, which is to be a piece of literature to describe qualifications for a job.

While I am American, i lived in France and England for a while and over there, the term "Resume" was completely foreign, but CV was something everyone understood. So that is why I thought I would shine light on this.

(Unless maybe you were meaning to make a joke, sorry I took the question literally)


Guess that explains why when you click on english language books the first time, it loads them. Click on something else it page reloads with no change. Or maybe it doesnt explain that at all. Very antiquated site.

Gone at only 40 years of age. What an incredible shame. How much more would she have been able to unravel had she lived longer. RIP.


This is exactly one of the sub-optimalities and inefficiencies of the world. The good go, the bad stay. It's so sad.


Every day we drift further from god.



Thanks for posting this! I was about to say "it could be worse: it could be COBOL". Especially since every couple of months someone posts an enthusiastic article about COBOL and people get intrigued by it and I feel it's my God-mandated duty to warn them about its mind-numbing unholiness.

COBOL-ON-COGS is hilarious though.


Every day we drift further from God.

To my mindset, this brings us closer.

  GOD = ASSEMBLER .AND. FORTRAN .GT. NODE.JS


lol. Perfect articulation of something I couldnt verbalize.


God is real (unless declared integer).


Since integer means undividable then he must be both.


Thank you.


In the projective geometry of our world (R3 X god) moving away from the god is just coming to him from the other side.


I'm not picking on your metaphor, but I don't understand it either. Mind elaborating?


Drifting further from god is a metaphor for moving closer to hell. He is implying that developing for the web using FORTRAN is moving us closer to existing in hell.


It isn't meant literally. It is another way of saying that using FORTRAN for this kind of work is unholy.

And of course "unholy" is itself a metaphor for something which should not be allowed.


It's a meme, not a metaphor. Though you can argue that a meme is at its core a metaphor, in this case you're better off trying to understand this specific meme, it's quite funny.
