Before reading this thread, I was one of those unfortunate chaps who still assumed Skype was P2P. What's the preferred alternative that's actually secure?

I'm a fan of graph paper for note taking myself. Also, I'm a much bigger fan of mechanical pencils over pens. My favorite mechanical pencil is the Pentel Side FX. It has extra eraser compared to others and the button for extendi

I personally like Bentonville pretty well. People from larger cities often complain "there's not enough to do" but I'm a bit of a home-body myself, so that doesn't bother me. One nice thing about this area is you c

I might see if I can come up with something approximating the test... The tricky part about making it so that people online could take it is that I'd need to give you an avenue to play around in a query editor and run queries on a dat

If you're doing BI reports, I'd guess you would probably do well.

Yep, I worked at the company you're probably speaking about for 9 years (I say probably, because there are two...Walmart and JB Hunt). I just left Walmart 3 months ago, largely because I was ready for something new, and the place I wo

Yes, the full power of the internet is at your disposal. The catch is that you're limited to an hour to get it done.

Where I work, we have a 4 question SQL test where we sit you in front of a dummy database, give you 4 printed results, and say "make the queries to produce exactly these results." Very very few people get all of them, but it give

I cared about my GPA in college because I was relying on scholarships to help me get through. I think generally, your first job out of college probably cares about your GPA, but after the first one, you can take it off the resume.

In the last two months, I've played: Project X Zone (3DS) - crazy SRPG/Fighting game hybrid Killer Instinct (Xbox One) - I tried to resist getting an XB1 just for this, but I failed Knack (PS4) - Very kid-friendly game Quake 2 (PC

There is such things as "free" software, that so far, has done really well. The example that immediately jumps to mind is the "Free-to-play" game. You download the game for free, but you can buy stuff to enhance the ga

Just a few days ago, somebody posted a link on HN for a 4K 24" monitor. Right now, I'm typing on a computer hooked up to two monitors with 2560x1440 resolution. 10 years ago, I never would've guessed we'd be up to 120&q

Fun little game. I have a few suggestions that would make it better, in my opinion. 1. Include a 'save' feature or save automatically when a person steps through a door or transitions from one screen to another. 2. Maybe allow

Shift+Down is how you pick up items. It's a little finicky though. I think it could stand to be more forgiving on where you're standing to pick them up.

I've not seen it before. There are others who haven't either. If it's getting re-posted and staying visible, that means enough people think it's interesting to not fall into obscurity.

Oh wow. A few names immediately came to mind as I read this. I remember the first time I encountered this, and thinking the guy had to be on crack. His quote: "A changed comment in code could possibly cause a problem, if the file were

Fun stuff. My mom said she chose my name (Joshua) largely because she didn't know of anyone else with the same name, yet the year I was born just happened to be the height of its popularity. I thought it was kind of odd that 10% of m

Several have commented that I left out options for people who work a different standard of hours than 40. I'd say if you're in that boat, change the number to what you consider standard and vote accordingly. For 9 years, I worked

I work my 40 hours, and I'm out the door. If you want more, hire somebody else.

I work 40-45 hours, and have no problem working a little extra when needed.

I work roughly 40 hours and take home a laptop just in case. No big deal. Sometimes I'll put in a lot more for special circumstances.
