First thing I was thinking of when I saw the picture was: Is that Bart Simpson?

I do. I remember adding a lot of buffer time just in case I wouldn't be able to find my way. It is much more convenient now with G-Maps and other providers. I also remember how exp…

Well, you somehow got me. When I mentioned the "everything F[_]ed" in my top post I thought I'd made it clear that I knew the commonalities. And I have to admit that I find these c…

Thank you for sharing your experience. Back then when I used Scala this was really turning me off Scala. Good that it all settled and that the Scala community can focus on the more…

I never understood why people are looking for things which are boring and I think it is mostly employers who do. They should look for something which is good and solves their probl…

Please do not take this (Knuths statement) out of context. It is necessary read the whole text to understand this sentence. It has nothing to do with whether performance matters.
