Well, not that easy. A quarter of 105 is 26.25.

Just for the record: You don't just get a PDF. You get a real e-book too.

I've gone through two interview processes in Norway – none of them took longer than ten days and I can't say I have heard about anyone else that has been through months-long processes either. (I'm a software engineer.)

It should be noted that Norway and Sweden were in a personal union at that time – a union that wasn't dissolved until 1905.

Not necessarily. They also give you a “gibberish” address to the account. So if I use “foobar” as my mailbox on mailinator, they will list an address like M8R-wk43th@mailinator too, that does not let people log in.

No, C99 – this is the the C99 standard with corrigenda TC1, TC2, and TC3 included.
ehamberg | 13 years ago | on: A nice, little known C feature: Static array indices in parameter declarations
From http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1124.pdf:
6.7.5.3 point 7: “If the keyword static also appears within the [ and ] of the array type derivation, then for each call to the function, the value of the corresponding actual argument shall provide access to the first element of an array with at least as many elements as specified by the size expression.”

Love the idea, but I miss Indonesian in the list of languages. :-)
Oh, and other have pointed out already: the gender symbols make very little sense.

New hobby: Inspecting the source of blog posts complaining about Opera adopting WebKit and finding -webkit prefixes without -o equivalents.

Slightly off-topic: How much do you break down concepts when using Anki to learn a programming language? I use Anki for tonnes of stuff, but haven't used it for learning programming languages/APIs.

Err... my brain was just malfunctioning. I meant to say 1 bit and 2 bits, not 2¹ and 2² bits. :-)

I see. That will be confusing to non-americans to whom a 12-hour clock is far from standard. It's also seems a bit weird to have two checkboxes (= 4 bits of information) to choose between a 12-hour and 24-hour clock (2 bits). I guess only one can be checked at a time?
That said, however, what you probably should be doing is to respect the setting in iOS: http://i.imgur.com/kMQgw3m.png

Looks cool!
I'm really curious, though: What is the “Standard Clock” checkbox? (What is a standard clock?)

Hmm, it seems that the URL is taken from the database. If I delete the relevant row, the URL is no longer shown:

It does now:

This is used to show where a program came from the first time you run it. For example, if I download iTerm 2 and then run it, I get the following warning:

I would actually recommend visiting Shenzhen as well. I have been there a few times over the last five years and it's really interesting to see the rise of luxury items (fancy cars, expensive (real!) handbags and the token iPhone and iPad) in the city centre.
Shenzhen is even in China (though, in a special economic zone).
