I'm not sure whether you're joking or serious. Of course, a company won't praise a competitor in their ads. However, the money Microsoft hands out is for videos that are not presented as advertising at all. Instead they want

Maybe read the linked article to get some food for thought: "These kinds of payments aren't inherently suspect in and of themselves. If the video makers disclosed that Microsoft was paying extra for these videos, and if they were

Scala is arguably part of the group of 'complex' languages I mentioned. Besides, the Scala worksheet functionality in Eclipse is really neat, which is another reason to consider using an IDE for it.

My impression is certainly that IDEs are aimed at beginners and users of more 'complex' languages like Java. (Case in point: Java has DrJava and other beginner IDEs, as well as IDEs for professionals like IntelliJ.)Indeed, I was r

I don't get the appeal of an IDE in Haskell development. You can download the Haskell platform on haskell.org. In the case of Windows or OS X, it takes a few mouse clicks, and on Linux you launch a package manager to install it. There

Why don't you tell your boss to provide you with the same perks and working conditions Apple or Google employees receive?

Of course there is the problem that a lot of scammers use Craigslist and those apartments don't really exist.

That place is a café, and a fairly noisy one at that. Calling it a co-working space is quite a stretch. It's just that a lot of people with Apple laptops frequent it. I don't think anybody gets serious work done there, by a defini

The person creating that list was a bit too "greedy". I certainly wouldn't have added a well-established café like St. Oberholz to that list.

Type systems aren't supposed to "get in the way of programming". Instead, they are supposed to assist you, and they do. This is why there is the perception that, for instance, code written in languages like OCaml commonly tur

I don't think you read the article. It's not "hipsters" that are the problem. Also, the days where you got anything for 1 Euro are long gone.

Not directly. I did study in London on campus. However, there are plenty of cases where outstanding alumni of those distance BSc programs got admitted to a later on-campus Master's program. Also, the content of those distance BSc cours

My answer was referring to your comment that you didn't know what the average salary of a junior-to-senior developer in Germany was.

Berlin was "dirt cheap" ten years ago. Rents have been skyrocketing in recent years. On the other hand, salaries haven't.

A typical salary for a software developer is between 35 and 40k Euros in Germany. Of course, if you've got a special skill set you can make a lot more. To people coming from the US, those salaries often appear to be "shockingly lo
