My ideal setup would be an SPI SDcard + some 8bit (6502 maybe) with a minimal Brainfuck kernel + some means of output (AVR+VGA? just to display ASCII on a video feed). There's an Apple ][ assembly BF interpreter for the 6502 already, should be easy to port
Another cake question - Share it fairly!
I'm having a party, and there were going to be 8 of us. As I like to cut the slices of cake fairly, I normally get a round cake and make the cuts with the help of a protractor (any code golfer would!) But this time I found the bakery were making octagonal...

Say that you have a string like this:
abaabbbbbaabba
Count the number of times that a specified sequence of letters appears in the input string, but only if the sequence appears only once in a row. For example, if the sequence is a,

Sometimes I think, "maybe I should work for Microsoft, their main campus is just about 2-3 miles away from me." Then I remember that I hate just about every Microsoft product and I have nothing good to say about the company.
Well, I'm not sure whether he lives closer to Seattle or Kirkland or Redmond. I figured if you live in one, you'd be happy to commute to the others.
In the same way that, theoretically, jobs in Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill would be of interest to me (even though in practice I hate having to commute >30 minutes, which was why I never pursued anything with Google's Chapel Hill office).
(Back when I lived in Durham, travelling to Chapel Hill wasn't too bad. But travelling there from Raleigh is more onerous.)
I also hate having to commute >30 minutes, which is why commuting to Seattle from my house everyday is the worst. (Can be closer to 40 minutes depending on the time of day.)
I worked from home when I was working for On-Site, but they only wanted to hire senior devs for remote roles.
I like the flexibility of working at home and from the office. Some Stack Overflow employees do actually do that, if they live close enough to the office.
(50% home, 50% office)
100% WFH is not my preferred mode of work, but since there's no Stack Overflow office in Raleigh, I do what I have to do. :-)
Entirely remote isn't your preferred mode of work?? I think it sounds wonderful. (Though I do think there's value to having face-to-face time with your colleagues.)
I mean, okay, so I speed some, so that's "contrary to laws" I guess (not so much customs, since there are lots of speeders in these parts), but still. :-P
"Antisocial" meaning "not sociable; not wanting the company of others". "Introverted" meaning "preoccupied with your own thoughts and feelings", though. I was wondering if that was the case, or if you just didn't enjoy socializing at all.
Am keen to see what Alex's chart looks like, though.

@Doorknob BTW (and this is advanced-level stuff, so don't break your brain over it), there is a way to algorithmically work out the function ordering for each of the 16 types. i.e., it is calculated, and not just "I said so".
And of course, there's an inverse algorithm (using the function ordering to work out the type), which is what I do when I try to work out people's types.
The website you linked actually lists three possibilities: ISTJ, ESTJ, and INTJ. If I were to personally describe myself, I would probably say I'm somewhere in the middle of those three.
To understand the cognitive function preferences, you actually have to know what each of the 4 letters in the MBTI type means, plus, of course, knowing what the 8 cognitive functions are (Se, Si, Ne, Ni, Te, Ti, Fe, Fi).
The first letter, E or I, basically signifies what attitude your dominant function is.
The second letter, S or N, tells you what your main perceiving function is.
The third letter, T or F, tells you what your main judging function is.
The fourth letter, J or P, tells you which of the judging or perceiving function is extroverted.
Let's look at ESTJ, for example. E means the dominant function has an extroverted attitude. S means that the main perceiving function is sensing. T means the main judging function is thinking. J means that the main extroverted function is the judging function, i.e., thinking (in this case).
(i.e., in this case, the main introverted function is the perceiving function, i.e., sensing in this case)
Looking only at the STJ, you can already tell that the two main functions are Te and Si. The first letter tells you which of those go first.
So ESTJ is Te Si, and ISTJ is Si Te.
From the first two functions, you can work out the third and fourth. The third is the opposite of the second, and the fourth is the opposite of the first.
Opposite here means the "other" function in the same category (perceiving or judging), with the opposite attitude.
The fifth to eighth functions are known as the "shadow functions", which are even weaker than the first to fourth. In standard order, the fifth is the same as the first but with opposite attitude, the sixth is the same as the second but with opposite attitude, and so on.

I like to end my code golf challenges with the following: This is code golf, fellas. Standard CG rules apply. Shortest code in bytes wins. This challenge is simple. Print that without any input to STDIN. (And of course) This is code golf, fellas. Standard CG rules apply. Shortest code in bytes wins.
@orlp Let's see. Ti is clearly the highest, though your Te is also very high and can be a contender for the dominant function. Ne, Si, and Fi are also very high.
Te Si Ne Fi is my chosen interpretation, which makes you ESTJ. Another possible interpretation is: Ti Ne Si Fe (though your Fe is really too low to be 4th slot), which is INTP.
Your chart is somewhat oddball to be able to interpret straightforwardly.
The thing is, you have several high functions, and how you order them makes a difference as to the type that's calculated. So in your case, there are multiple possibilities.
(I only confirmed these for you because it's public information. I wouldn't dream of sharing anything private; that'd be a serious breach of our policies. :-P)
Apparently I noticed that Wobbuffet used Doorknob's name quite a while ago:
@TheWobbuffet You keep changing your username and picture. There was a time when you were "Doorknob" and had his picture. Now, your pic is a sheep. You should change it to a llama. — JustinMay 4 '14 at 23:11
