As someone who's never owned one, I think there is something called 'crouton' which makes a chromebook into sort of like a low-end ubuntu laptop. Given that I've run VS code on Ubuntu with 2gb ram, it seems like it shoul

Exactly, I used python heavily for a while, so don't think I've ever even coded my own for anything 'real' (e.g. outside of project euler or something) - I think the closest I've done on a real project is to code th

That is a pretty huge statistic, - what also pops out to me is: "stop practicing ". This seems to imply that these technical interviews are skills that you don't really gain on the job. I know that personally would 9 times ou

Sorry- my reply was a bit insensitive, probably just jealous of your situation :)

The main benefit is giving back to the community, and possibly learning some new skills, and maybe building a github profile. I wouldn't depend on it for more than a little bonus every once in a while. Experiences may differ.

They can "do" mobile. For development purposes, I have equivalent priced 2016 devices ios / android and a 2015 Lumia 950. The 950 is by far the one I use for personal use (no it doesn't have pokemon go, no I do not care)

Iirc, a difference in bitmessage from other protocols is that it has 'receiver anonymity,' in that since a message is received by all parties, the receiver's metadata is not leaked. This is possibly a benefit over some existi

Timestamping documents can be useful: http://proofofexistence.com (the site isn't necessary, but quite convenient unless you do it very frequently) Compare that to going to a notary or something..
