That's fine. We'll try to evaluate your abilities in some other way, with the initial impression that you're a prick. :-/ A day is a pretty unreasonable request. Maybe an hour would be more reasonable?

I was suspended multiple times in middle school ("hacking" -- nothing had restricted permissions back in those days) and high school for being stupid and mouthing off to a teacher who wasn't going as fast as I wanted. I took

Wikipedia says "Intel 64" is the new official name, but yeah, IA-64 looks wrong. Sorry. IA-64 feels like it should be the 64-bit-ified IA-32, but no... Hard problems in CS: Naming things.

It is impossible to withdraw USD from MtGox.

True. I would expect IA-64 chips to benchmark differently from AMD's amd64 chips, though. Would be interesting to see them (the percentage changes for each arch, relative to 1.1) side-by-side.

I don't think liability insurance on motorcycles goes up very much. You still can't cause too much damage to a car, even if a human driver is much more likely to crash than computer.

More like rebalancing your portfolio as you notice one sector getting overvalued re: your expectations.

It depends on the disease, doesn't it? At this point (for some diseases) it's much more cost-effective to kill the patient that would have gone towards prolonging a state of suffering. Then send the funds towards Against Malaria o

Give everyone a unique number during the planning phase. Have everyone scratch their number into the wall. Leave the light on. When all numbers are on the wall, you are done.

Well, not everyone earns the average income (obviously). So the percentage is wrong for everyone.

Dismissing all other organizations as worse at "gardening" than Google was a bit offensive. And the lowest bidder for contracted work often sucks, or finds ways to bill more than the original bid. :)

This type of cockroach control is pretty par for the course in undergrad anatomy lab sections... I think the only part that seems weird is the gamification of making it a remote control app.

Yeah, I immediately thought of that too. I've been to that webpage in the past 1-2 years, it's a game I used to play with friends every once in a while.

Valgrind's emulation environment wraps syscalls to understand how they read/modify memory. Any time you add a new syscall or change an existing syscall, valgrind needs to be updated. Presumably 10.9 is unsupported due to new/

I don't know which commercial truck drivers you've observed, but anecdotally, I've seen some pretty distracted / inattentive behavior from truck drivers myself. Are you suggesting that truck drivers are somehow ubermensc

rot13 is (X + (26/2)) mod 26 ; this is (X + (2^16)/2) mod 2^16. (The BMP is the first 2^16 code points of unicode.) Edit: silly formatting dropped my math punctuation.

Wave 35, score of 4098. Needed to get harder faster. Waves ~25+ were difficult. Criticism: Overlapping words make it hard to read. The font makes it hard to distinguish i, t, l, j, which is bad when you need to determine which to type quick
