This is something I have thought about. I think that the expectations have changed though - my first computer was a C64, and loading and starting a game was a several minutes long wait. I don't remember that I was bothered that much by

Materialized views where invented for moving computations into the updates. No triggers needed. Not sure what databased that supports it though.

That it's fine? The problem have always been running others untrusted code in your own jvm.

Both? Antisemitism in Sweden is almost exclusively found among the Muslim immigrants. Politically the left is a bit blindsided in the Israelic-Palestinian conflict, but that is another issue, as is the strongly secular society's discom

I would say that the stereotypes are mostly true, in the majority or minority (whatever it is) that is visible. I am sure there are a reasonably sized portion of Roma that do not live up to the stereotype and are treated unjustifiably bad,

How is this legal? As a side note, HP sells a (vintage) 256 MB DDR2 RAM module for $600 (USD) for it's new printers.

I think this is essentially true. If you do not enjoy programming, and have a hard time struggling with analyzing and solving problems (writing algorithms) then I do not think you will enjoy your work. I have seen plenty of developers that

It's this article from 15 years ago? There was a small market window for selling Internet enabled payphones in Europe and Asia in 1996 or so, but it was obvious that mobile phones would end that within years. There was no market in US,

Enskede (next to it) is one of the better areas in Stockholm so it's less expensive neighbour Enskededalen is perhaps bad only in comparison. I think I've might have seen some druggies in the area a few times more than I would exp

I recommend diving face first into the first available wall. That is by far the fastest way to reduce the speed. If a wall is not situated conveniently enough, old ladies are surprisingly sturdy, and will stop even a high speed fixed-gear

But is it really common with grenade attacks in Paris, Brussels and London? I found one reference to a attack in 2003 in London after a bit of searching. In Sweden, there has at least been 10 or so the last year, with one causalty - the 8 y

I think you will find that some suburbs in Stockholm, Malmö and Göteborg will come out rather competitive in regards to crime rate, but I give you that there are areas that are way worse. Look at the statistics from BRÅ (The Swedish Nationa

I am not sure there is serious research done. Probably not. There is no interest as it is a career ending move. Some news: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-37161752 http://www.thelocal.se/20160404&#

Why is this downvoted? There is a predicted shortage of up to 1,000,000 residences In a market of 4,500,000 or so, and a population of 10 million, recent refugees not included (yet). The last 'fix' to the problem in 1960-1970 was

As someone that learned some math in university about 20 years ago, and probably have forgotten most of it, I have a hard time when reading something mathematical that interrests me today. Maybe the authors of the papers that I read aren&#x

I think it's safe to say that people that have shit dangling from their rear mirror are bad and unimaginative drivers that don't get the importance of a working peripheral vision. And there is research that shows that they have mo

I think the author is both right and wrong. Maths skills is a litmus test that reflects the scientific education in general among the population. Given the anti-intellectual and antiscience trends in US and Europe - where US seems to lead t

In the context of banks, where there are a limited set of semi-trusted entities and multiple trusted third-parties, I seems that most most solutions to prevent cheating offers is either really similar to a trusted third party solution, or o

I'm not convinced about the low optimum. There seems to be a clear correlation between employment and ability, but then they bend the data into a model that seems to exaggerate the differences between >35 and <35 cohorts. I have

Or just make a nice label, buy some cheap oil and add green and yellow colour and some flavor packs, and you can make the same amount of money without all the hard work. Oh wait, was that idea already taken :-)

Thank you. It's somewhat glossed over in that plants have aerobic metabolism, but uses CO2 to build the fuel for the process. I am not certain if the green parts will survive at at night time if there is no oxygen in the air.

Actually, even now the car can not be towed if it is out of power. To tow, you need at least a booster battery to boot the 12v systems in the car. Or you need to lift it. Not a problem for an road assistance service, but potentially irritat

It's like that on Mitsubishi Outlander Phev. There is a separate Park button, and I think there is no risk of confusion. I have actually occasionally powered down the car when I just wanted to put it in park, but there is no real dange

I agree. I am not saying that you always need a detailed balance sheet, just that it's good to reason about the benefits. It's especially hard to quantify risks - that's where you really need the expertise. What I wanted to p

On the other hand, at the end of the road - or the rewrite - something should have been gained in terms of money, risk or time. Being shitty is not reason enough, but it's almost always possible to reason and quantify and weigh the cos

What would stop you from just parking a large container outside the house? On top of a truck in the worst case... There are several providers of mobile power.

As a consumer you sort of pay to get access to YouTube, Netflix etc. The money should flow from the carrier to the content providers, but they saw them initially as a nuisance and later as leechers, despite that they are essentially the pro
