I think the biggest difference between Germany and Anglo-Saxon markets is that houses here aren't a commodity. People rarely move out of and sell houses. Most owners buy once in their lifetime. Consequently, houses sold are quite old o

For the latter case you would use an abstract type hidden in some module in ML. Only difference to OOP is the lack of open recursion and implicit "this" argument.

You seem to confuse a few things. Lazy evaluation is an option in the design space of programming languages, and one that is rather exotic due to its complications. Eagerly evaluated functional languages are quite normal. An imperative lang

The number of monad tutorials in the haskell section is ... interesting. If you order all concepts in prison programming by the product of usefulness and confusion it must be somewhere at the very top.

That argument was so weird. Imagine having a Bitcoin miner embedded into the page. According to this argument I would have been legally required to execute it.

Why the node-based interface? Doesn't this get overwhelming (too many nodes) when you do a serious project? How about a purely textual approach?

I think you, and the agile software industry as large, are completely mistaken. There is absolutely no problem with intensive up-front analysis. In fact, this is what at least 80% of the effort should go into. But we have pretty much 0% sta

It's an interesting philosophical question whether a more complex theory and a small amount of invisible matter or a simpler theory and a large amount of invisible matter is the simpler combination. In any case, I think that any modifi

The language pattern occurs quite frequently in many domains. Unfortunately, I have so far only seen half-assed interpreters. At best, people did a shallow embedding (interpreter) of their DSL. No one ever did a true compiler. I think the r

Still, dark matter as a theory, or at least as the name of a theory, has the big problem to predict something that is conveniently invisible. A proponent of MOND could probably declare the existence of some form of dark exotic matter in gal

Finally! This is super useful! I wanted to do stuff like this ten years ago for small code samples but didn't get very far with TikZ. Doing it for equations is even more complicated to get into a pleasent shape, I guess.

110kWh in one year from 320W is quite bad. One would at least expect 250kWh normally, even more under ideal circumstances. So a better setup can easily half the time until break even. Also, the inverter needs to be scaled to the panels, obv

That's a bullshit scenario. There are way more android and apple devices online than PCs. No ISP would do anything for PCs alone and if they did, I could easily turn my PC into an "Android Tablet". So Microsoft would have to

So the fire damaged the production of EUV components at a time when everyone and their dog want to get a fab up and running? How many of these planned fabs rely on EUV? Or did they actually use EUV in that building?

Stupid question: Could it be that your hardware is faulty? Power supply, memory, or a defective Mainboard?

I agree. But I also think that the following two language features are important: 1. Polymorphism 2. Specialization of code and data structures Both aspects only go well together with global compilation which basically enforces static linki

That's the thing, ain't it? If you exit the market for cash during an inflation period you will realize losses of x% per annum. So the question is: Is the current stock bubble driven by inflation expectations?

I have the feeling that Haskell has one feature that could be super useful for security. That feature is the explicit typing of effects via monads. Just look at the recent log4j example: If effects were explicitly typed in Java, you would p
