drd93··on Unplanned Freefall? Some Survival Tips
Hmm, in that case, wouldn't it be reasonable to try to somehow throw this extra object under you so that it breaks the surface tension before your fall?
drd93··on Lessons from 3,000 technical interviews
These are not curveballs though. Nowadays it's just another category of interview questions - System Design. There are tons of resources to prepare for this type of questions just like with the Algorithms & Data Structures problems.
drd93··on Macs are 3 times cheaper to own than Windows PCs, says IBM's IT guy

drd93··on The Keyword – New central source for news and stories about Google
This is hilarious
drd93··on Moore’s law really is dead this time
> The vast majority of computers still only have 2 or 4 cores (in fact it has become impossible to find a 4 cores ultrabook, something that existed a few years ago - Vaio z series).

drd93··on Bilingual people are twice as likely to recover from a stroke, study finds
I would support your statement as well. I know three languages: one as my native language, other as my country's only official language, and the last one (English) is my general purpose language, meaning I use at to surf web, to study books, to watch films/series, to code, etc..

Would I learn any other language if I would be born in English society and English family? Doubt it. Maybe some other mainstream language just for fun, but it wouldn't count as bilingual as I wouldn't push myself hard enough to learn it.

    bin(x ^ (x >> 1))
Most often interviewers get quite irritated if interviewer comes up with a much simplier and a faster solution than what was intended.

Estonian: isa and ema
