   When I was interviewed for a job at Google I was told there would be 5 different interviews measuring 5 different things: Pure Algo (which I view as "let's see that your CS grades were earned and not bought") Pure Coding (let

    I like pixel art, for many of the reasons mentioned in the article. In fact, for 2d games it is my favorite style. With that said, I think the example art the article provides for their game is not very good. Specifically I think there&#x27

    I think the point is that the NSA allegedly infected air-gapped Iranian nuclear facilities (i.e. Stuxnet), so if they see you as a target they already have a trojan hiding on your phone (a much easier target than Iranian nuclear equipment)
