My interview for the job I have now actually had me do some hands-on shell activities and had very little algorithms, but that was partly because they were wanting me to work with code deployment and other tasks where it would come in handy

At my office, which is business professional, it seems that men have less options for "lighter" clothing than women though. I have to wear a long sleeve, pressed shirt and tie, pants, and dress shoes no matter what the temperature

Doesn't IBM have nicer stuff available? I have an i7, 16GB of RAM with a 3k display (but I prefer the nub, so I can't speak for touchpad quality as much) which seems to complete the package. It's the standard laptop they give

When I was last on iOS, I actually preferred Opera Mini. This was before Chrome, etc. were options and I have barely used iOS since then, but it was much faster, and had saner zooming.

As a consumer, I'm glad other companies aren't extracting as much profit this way. I'm quite happy with my Moto G which I got for a small fraction of what I would have paid for an iPhone, and it's just as good for my use

I used to use Kopete back in the KDE 3 days often. Thanks for your work! Now, I don't really use IM like I used to. Back then (middle and high school), mainly with AIM and MSN, I'd spend hours on IM each day. Now it's an occa

For discover-ability? Because the public features of BB seem to work just fine for me, and then all I have to do is change one quick setting to make it public. I know git isn't all that hard to migrate over, but even so.

Similar question: what about using a site besides Github? I use Bitbucket and link there from my homepage. I don't contribute to any FOSS projects besides my own in my freetime, but prefer Bitbucket for various reasons (principally bec

That is a lot no matter how you look at it though. If you assume someone eats 2,000 calories a day and 60,000 calories a month of only this one product, that would still be providing a month worth of food for 15 billion people.
