Xamarin just announced a partnership with Oracle (for an end-to-end mobile (cloud) platform). Seems like a well calculated strategy to keep the power balance in check.

My response was in context of whether we can just `not pay` our loans. But yes, a country can be better off after debt restructure and should remain that way if certain reforms are put in place.

I'm not disagreeing with you on the public opinion of either France or Germany on Greece. But it is in their leader's (France and Germany's) best interest to `help` Greece despite the public's opinion, as public opinion

Yes, but there will be consequences of course (e.g. inability to borrow in the future).

I assume this is a serious question. I suppose the simplest answer is: to increase your spending (ability) right now, with the expectation that after the debt has been paid off you will be achieve a net positive value. A small business migh

Possibly. But he worked at Valve as Economist-in-Residence which somewhat makes him, a relevant figure to the HN community.

France and Germany has no option but to negotiate. If Greece defaults, most likely they will exit the Eurozone and this will be disastrous for Europe (Italy and Spain will be exposed in particular). Financially, it will send a ripple effect

He's content with leaving his position, that Greece now had some leverage to negotiate better terms. He understands that the last restructuring agreement terms is not acceptable. I would assume that he was probably being very vocal in

Brick construction is still a major selling point for homes in Perth (especially double-brick [1]). I've seen pre-fabricated homes in mining towns up North, where labour costs are insanely high. While they look nice (and structurally s

My take on this: Experimentation is a form of learning. Whilst the end product may seem trivial, there may be meaningful discoveries during the journey.

Not related to the project, but have you got any suggestions on good materials for Scala learning? Materials I've read / watched / done so far: - Martin Odersky's Functional Programming Coursera course - `Scala in

I believe it's been discussed many times before. Developers who use jQuery do so because it provides a good API / abstraction layer, as dealing with browser specific issues could be non-trivial.

Interesting premise. However, isn't what the author described is similar to event-sourcing?

This is awesome! Great work :) I've just finished the Scala koans yesterday, and was wondering if there is something similar for SQL. I've been working with ORM libraries exclusively and had not touched `raw` SQL queries at all th

I love the instant feedback when completing a valid query, but as suggested, it can get in the way when trying to compose a filter. Perhaps use a `tickbox` to toggle the automatic table data update? Another thing, the invalid / incompl

It's not exactly apples-to-apples comparison. Whilst on paper the specs are similar, each architecture (e.g. ARM vs x86) has different priorities - power vs performance. But the two's priorities are converging, ARM becoming more p

I don't see that this is just another PR article, more that there will always be a place for craftsmen in Toyota, even in the face of the wave of production automation. One thing I admire from the Japanese culture, is that they take `c

I'm taking a cautious approach (as with any new libraries), but so far it's been in a couple of small projects in production and working well. It is certainly far easier to write new implementations with Akka.NET in mind. But ther

It was a really horrible event and I'm ashamed that it ever happened. Whilst racial and ethnic tensions [1] have always existed in Indonesia to a certain degree, the event should not be a reflection of the general populace. I would lik

I think the better way to put it is: it improves empathy. More often than not, in large teams or organisations there is often a culture of blame or lack of accountability. I believe these exercises do help to foster greater teamwork and a s

I disagree on the wide screen field of view. From what I understand, reading comprehension actually improves with text in contained width (i.e. columns) [1][2]. My experience in using a higher res monitor is that it takes a bit more effort

I actually find Scala quite pleasant to use. What aspect do you find it being too complicated? I've seen Scala code styles within a wide spectrum of OO <---> FP, which can be both positive and negative. My only complaint, is that

PHP vs ASP.NET hosting prices are close to parity now. Some ASP.NET web hosts offers $10/mo plans (a bit more if you want to use SQL Server). Or go with Azure Websites (Shared), starting from ~$15/mo if you think you need to scale

AFAIK, you cannot install extensions or plugins (e.g. ReSharper) in Express version(s).

Perhaps you did not detect the sarcasm? As much as I would like to see more post coming from Indonesia (disclaimer: I am Indonesian), the article feels hollow.

Can you elaborate why you think Fastmail is "evil"? It's the first I heard about it (being evil). Is it because of its proprietary nature? I think solutions like Fastmail is popular because they work well, and most people wou
