Do-notation is Haskell is purely syntactic sugar over function calls. You can remove do-notation from Haskell and still write the exact same programs (with monads and all). Also, m…

> Monads exist because because haskell people want to pretend that there is this ideal mathematical world where things dont change Monads exist independently from Haskell and are n…

What's imperative about monads? Or rather, what is not functional? Why should they be avoided?

You can add * https://github.com/zalando/grafter to your list.

And you will also get a stack overflow for free.

How is it 25 MP? 4096 × 2160 pixels = 8.8 MP.

Wow, I'm on my second battery for my T430s and about to replace it soon. Battery life is < 1 hour, even with a new one I usually wouldn't get more than three hours. :-(

Greetings from a fellow KIT CS alumnus.

Twitter have not abandoned Scala.

It's also very overpriced. I just moved into a new apartment and I am paying 9€/sqm cold in a very central location. This is very cheap. 11-14€ is more realistic, but even with uti…

I think Ron Gilbert uses Squirrel in his upcoming game Thimbleweed Park.

I admit that I am not an expert on Scala, but I am confused about your "Person" example. I thought that this was exactly the common use case that wouldn't cost you an allocation. A…

If you have your class extend AnyVal, you even get the wrapping for free.

Can you tell me what's the problem with multiple inheritance if your superclasses only consist of pure virtual functions? From [1]: "Bjarne Stroustrup: I had a lot of problems expl…

C++ doesn't have the interface keyword, but that does not mean you cannot have a class that is a pure interface (all methods abstract).

I think you are mistaken about Lisp. Most Common Lisp / Scheme implementations I know of are compiled.

That would be ridiculously high, but do you believe it? Especially 80k on average ?

Companies with hundreds of developers typically have their fair share of junior developers as well that will earn below average.

I don't know where you have those numbers from, but they are very inaccurate. The average household income in Berlin in 2012 was 1650€ net per month [1], so that would be about 20k…

We also thought this way. We had our daily standup at half past ten, which was right in the middle between coming in and going to lunch. Now we moved it to quarter to two, which fo…
