Can you point me to some data on that?

So what is the accordance for a button in a flat design?

Apart from pattern matching, your example isn't like duck typing: it's all entirely statically typed. Scala does have structural types, which is a bit like duck typing.

I don't know enough about how it all works, but perhaps -- because the number isn't valid on its own -- giving the number to a different customer, with a different name, effectively invalidates its previous use and means it can be

I've thought about the feasibility of such a service for a long time, but I always figured you'd run out of numbers. If there are nine digits available (16 - 6 - 1), that's 1,000,000,000. If you have, say, 100,000 customers,

The first time I went to pay something via online banking, I was stunned to discover that it meant that the bank would mail out a cheque on my behalf!

I guess it depends what their use case is. In 30 seconds, a lot of people have walked past you unrecorded.

How would this even work? Glass with the camera on has a battery life of about an hour. They could power it externally, but then it gets too hot, slows down and gives a warning message. Add in the CPU load of facial recognition and I just d

Are you suggesting that schools develop their own solutions, over and over again? Some school districts centralize their IT solutions provision, but that's nothing compared to a private company providing a solution nationwide.

For an integer, if the pre-increment value isn't used, GCC at least will generate the same code, even with optimization turned off: int pre(int a) { int post(int a) { ++a;

I hate the term "DNS propagation". It confuses people, and makes them think things that aren't true, like a new domain isn't usable until it "propagates" through the Internet.

I'm hoping the paid extras are things most hobbyists won't need, like simulation and RF design tools.

It's not live streaming, though, is it? These are recordings. You can't stream something faster-than-realtime live.

"Introduced" is a subjective word. The Alto had a mouse, but I don't think it was used outside PARC. It doesn't seem too far from the truth to say that the Macintosh introduced the mouse to the world.

Did they actually say that? What's the exact quote? I thought they said something about all their products using innovative interfaces, not that the innovations were theirs. Still, when they were talking about the digital crown, they d

I understand the sentiment. There does seem to be a trend of pandering to web developers in a way that discourages them from leaving their comfortable JavaScript bubble. I'm not sure what that says about developers or the future of the

I always had this secret hope that the AT interface was a translation layer on top of their sensible protocol (kind of like, say, x86 on top of microcode), and that one day someone would have the bright idea to just expose the underlying on

I've used modules like this before (including the SIM908, which is like the SIM900, but with GPS too). The biggest pain is that they only support AT commands as a protocol. It's very difficult to work with reliably, especially in

I think you're missing the micro part of micropayments. The idea is for each individual charge to be so small that it's not really a consideration.

Obviously I can't speak for other bespectacled folk, but I wouldn't call them a huge hassle. I put them on in the morning, and take them off at night. Once in a while I clean them. That's about the extent of my interaction wi

This seems outdated. No mention of Thumb 2 and unified assembly, for example.

JavaScript became popular because it was the only(1) language that did what it did -- scripting in the browser. It has become popular on the server side lately(2) partly because some people are reluctant to learn another language, and partl

How do you justify the claim of it being the fastest when at least some benchmarks put Akka at over twice as fast in terms of messages per second? Do you have your own comparisons that you're basing that on? http://uberblo.g

I don't know F#, but Scala certainly addresses all three of his issues: 1) override (also in C#, IIRC) 2) The Option type (which, being a monad, also has compositional ability null/nil doesn't have) 3) Case classes
