Very interesting! The more I know about scandinavian countries, there more impressed I am.

None of these proposals are catchy (or funny) enough to establish themselves, except: - Plauschplage - Dornhöschenschlaf I really might accept "Plauschplage" into my vocabulary.

Well he didn't write a fully jitted VM, this is just sort of translating the JVM opcodes into Lua scripts if I got that right, and then runs those with LuaJit 2. LuaJIT 2 is known to be fast, but…

Any idea how fast it is? GitHub have put a considerable amount of effort into a very fast implementation.

Wait - he posted something about php, curl and tor on StackOverflow, using - for less than one minute - his real name? And that is supposed to link to the operator of Silk Road? I don't know abou…

MySQL lacks transaction support? Unless you use MyISAM tables, that isn't true since like forever. For the record, I prefer Postgres over MySQL any day.

Thats what I was thinking, for me this is a bit in the "I can't believe they invented it" territory. A 3d printing curiosity.

I also raised an eyebrow at the mention of memcache - but hey, if the outcome is that the intern learns a thing or two, why not.

I think most of the disappointment comes from not being able to work as you'd like to, and with colleagues that just don't care. The solution to that is freelancing or changing jobs. Or, as …

> Scala is the JVM's C++ Thats what I've been thinking (and posting) since some time now, nice to see I'm not the only one. I know some Startups regretted choosing Scala.

Ha, glad I wasn't the only one. I feel less stupid now.

Interesting how different the discussion went - minimalism as a design aesthetic back then vs. c++ programmer outrage this time, all because of a different title and abstract.

So if your point is a technical one, whats the main issue for you - that you can't emit hand-tuned SIMD code (I have no idea if thats possible) or that you can't do realtime because of garba…

Out of curiosity, I tried to log in with my Google account and then got this when I was sent back to https://upsource.jetbrains.com : Cannot get icons from server. You do not have permissio…

Thanks, that helped. They should be more clear on their website about that, I know Clojure a bit and some of the things about state, time and identity, and I still didn't get it.

What is the big deal about Datomic? From their FAQ: "Datomic is not a good fit if you need unlimited write scalability, or have data with a high update churn rate (e.g. counters)." Don'…

tl;dr: there is no shortage, its just that most candidates are crap

Well, if you already use the JVM, its Scala of course. But ask yourself this: do you work in a team or alone? One of the first sentences is: "While highly effective, Scala is also a large languag…

I like the idea, but have my doubts that 'design by commitee' is going to work better here than it usually does. Also, the required funding is enormous - not sure if they mean financing the …

Great article, definitely struck a chord in me. Guess it should have been called "Why I won't go to TED or Burning Man, ever", in order to generate any interest.

Wow, $25 per transaction is insane! So, just to make sure I don't get this wrong: in the US, most people can't login to their bank's website and transfer cash to someone else's ac…

Did you ever get around to finish that? I'm curious.

Germans pay by card all the time (I think you know them as debit cards?), we just don't use credit cards, because there is no advantage of doing so. Every "giro" account comes with one,…

Interesting, the mail office actually used this for some time, but to quote the article: "The Edinburgh Evening News reported in 1876 that the trucks containing the parcels continually stuck in t…

Well, one thing is for sure: the guy driving this thing has the power to destroy all of humanity in an instant, should he decide to crash into earth. Interesting thought imho, the way to ensure our sp…

I don't agree. This is an opportunity for both parties to check each other out, a top dev might want to check the employers claims, too. Too often they are just lying, especially if the market is…

> decoupling of the model (code) and view Absolutely, I've been thinking this as well. But to make it really seamless, SVN/Git would have to work that way too, and they'd have to have knowledge of…
