   99% is still unfurnished, most Germans I know would never rent a furnished place unless they are students. Update: A kitchen is often the exception.

   Copenhagen is a wonderful city, with astonishing people. But if civilization is determined by whether a house has an elevator or not, I'm out of words.

   I'm sure, if C was not dominant, the iPhone could have been written say in Pascal. There is nothing specific in C that makes it a requirement for the iPhone. The same goes for operating systems. Regarding the imprint: No user will see an im

   Beating the CAP theorem by proofing it by dropping the requirement for consistency? Sorry to be conservative and following Aristotelean logic, but this title does not make sense.

   If you take an iPhone, it has so many thing invented by people, this article does not make any sense to me. Someone invented wireless communication, someone plastics, someone metal, someone thin glass, someone a touch screen, someone RAM, s

   Awesome, remindes me of the days I was writing an assember and a memory debugger in Z80 for my CPC. CPC had this nice concept of BASIC extensions with a pipe, e.g. |monitor . I this made BASIC a nice language on a CPC, because you could eas

   Opposed? You might live in a different Germany than I do. The German public is mostly law and order.

    With bail out, I mean you default on the debt and I pay your dept towards a bank.

    And then I bail you out with the money from my high income tax. You have the car. The carmaker has it's money. The bank has it's money. I don't have a car. I've paid for all this ;-)

    Germany bailed out a bankrupt state in the 90s (the GDR).

    You also have an expected outcome with Greece: Either it will default or not. I think your point sound clever but is not. Either the cat is dead or it isn't. Or was it Greece?

    German banks are - by a large margin - not the most exposed to Greece. French banks for example are much more exposed to Greek dept. If Greece fails, this will hit German banks, but other banks much more, it might be especially hard for cou

    The guy the journal editor talks to has sometimes a different agenda. As he does not have interest in reviewing the papers, he isn't interested in the topics. He's often interested in advancing his career and building his network, and a mov

    I let you in on a secret: In many research institutions the people that "do" peer-review don't do the review, they delegate the reviews to their underlings who are not in a position to refuse.

    How can the support for Textmate, expressing my will to pay - be worth a downvote. I understand the urge to keep this place noise free, but people committing in public to pay for a new version - and I've also bought Textmate a long time ago

    Funny how all VMs go through this. Remember when JVM GC pauses killed websites - and how over the years this was fixed by better - non pausing - GC strategies.

    Not sure I can follow, "Anyone familiar with python will realize that if this is the only functionality you need, than a bare string could be used instead, eliminating this code entirely." Your argument was: the LOC is too high compared to

    A little bit disappointed about the down votes, I'd hope we as an industry take numbers not so lightly and find "Is it 2x, 3x, 4x? One of those." no longer comfy. I'd also hope we strive more towards "Extraordinary claims require extraordin

    The post was probably a little unclear, I did not understand you poked around to find the oOms in 2009, I just assumed it was more recent as the Clojure post was from September 2011.

    Could you elaborate on the point where my math is off? You mentioned a range from 3-10x between Scala and Java, and we have a 4x multiplier with your code (260 LOC Clojure vs. 1000 LOC Scala). This would result in a 12 - 40x range which I q
