They certainly seem to have a lot of infrastructure running on the JVM (both Scala and Java.) There is some information there (with emphasis on Scala, obviously): http://www.typesafe.com/resources/case-studies-and-stori

There are different aspects to consider. First, in France, even if you're not a taxi, there's a special driving license for "transport de personnes" ("people transportation" ?) which is required if you want to

That's not really buyer's remorse. They paid for their license because you need one to operate as a taxi (along with other requirements), it's the LAW. Uber drivers do not pay for any license, so they can operate at a lower c

I really loved Usenet when I discovered it (I never posted though.) The moderation capabilities were not well developed, but it was way more client-centric and decentralized. I wonder it there's a market for a modern reboot of usenet.

He mentions typing this on his phone so it's possible it's the autocorrect (and "corrections" that kinda make sense are the worse.)

I used to live in Grenoble, and some local AMAPs offered some cooking classes. You could choose to take your basket to a kitchen and people helped you with cooking and canning your vegetables. It takes a little more involvement from the con

The AMAPs are subscription based, and you get a box (panier) with whatever the farmer happens to have this particular week. Here you can actually order things. In the case of AMAPs, the nice thing about not knowing what you'll receive

I'm not a native speaker and it was quite hard to understand everything. Reading the sentences aloud made it a bit easier though.

I'm currently reading it (kindle edition.) Highly recommended. The style makes it easy to read (I'm not a native english speaker), it's very down to earth in its tone and addresses potential problems as it goes.

In content text? There's this passage: "The content text is between "quotes". Escape '\' and '"' with a '\'." In the same space (replacement syntax for XML) I like Erik Naggum&#x27

Same here, and I opened the article thinking "cool, an optimistic article" as in the tech industry we tend to be overly critical of ... everything. I was disappointed.

In addition the testing methodology (the blog post) and the code (on github) are available so the tests can be reproduced to validate any enhancement or bugfix. Those blog posts are also a great at debunking marketing claims.

How accessible is the book (the google preview on that page does not help assessing how complex the text is) ? I guess it's better to start with "Types and programming languages" by the same author ? I don't have a forma

Or you can use a system designed to accomodate the occasional failure like Akka (running on the JVM they seem to hate so much) or Erlang.

There's a whole section of the article covering which parts of node may be affected. If the article began by saying it only affects FS and DNS ops, and some drivers, people may be more tempted to stop reading. Is there any reliable way

This post: http://c65gs.blogspot.de/2015/04/c65gs-at-revision-2015-and-... mentions a "c64 mode" on the c65gs (the basis for this machine.) It would be awesome if that machine gets used at demoparties.

It never occurred to me to consider the performance per watt of CUDA vs C/C++/Fortan on the CPU (instead of only raw performance.) So one should consider CUDA only if they want to favor raw performance over cost? (and only if thei

This kind of writing is more amenable to slow reading than quick skimming. Try reading it aloud, pausing at each comma and colon, it reads quite nicely. I encountered this kind of style very often when reading French classics of the 19th ce

Only C-something works, no? I'm also still trying M-b / M-f regularly (with either Option or Command for Meta, which has surprising consequences every single time.) C-t works though, and that's awesome to correct typos.

Processing data as it becomes available instead of waiting for the whole thing, amongst other things (that's what we do in Scala anyway.)

This "red pill" metaphor really can apply to anything. For example for a high-level programming language user, C could be a red-pill if learning it helps them visualize what's happening automagically thanks to the VM/int
