Perhaps they are just good at suppressing any inconvenient opinion or thought.

If he knows he will be porting the game, why does he not abstract away the OS layer and perhaps even the graphics library? Then implement it behind some interface with for example SDL2 and OpenGL depending on platform.

Would not that save lots of time and ensure it works cross-platform from the start? To me, it just seems that you re-invent the wheel by not doing this.

You would have to be very gullible to believe this show, I would not be surprised if this is done in cooperation with the government. They want you to use propitiatory software and own personal surveillance devices such as phones and Apple wants to sell your their product. They both would win from such a scenario. I do not buy it, the least I can do for Snowden is to be very skeptical.

What is the purpose of blending the text with the background and making it barely readable?

Requirement of email is even more annoying.

I use GitLab on my VPS (KVM Advanced @ Edis) and I am very happy with it. However, it uses unreasonable amount of resources. I am pretty much all out of resources after deploying GitLab. I will probably switch to something else even if it has less features and worse interface as long as it use less resources.

I see, thanks for your perspective on the matter.

I am just a student but do interview questions come without any concrete problem to solve? Or are they really like "Which data structure would you use for repetitive look-ups?", "Implement FizzBuzz" and so on instead of something like "You need to look up a words in a English dictionary for a spelling program, how would you solve it?".

If you are on GNU/Linux you can use built in tools with PGP (with a little help of bash scripts, and git if you want). I first saw it explained on this blog http://blog.sanctum.geek.nz/linux-crypto-passwords/ and has worked really well for me. Feels more robust and secure than browser password stores, though probably not as convenient but its up to you, convenience or security.
