In Germany, Résumés aren't necessarily limited to a a page. Two pages is considered fine too. Three pages is where it starts to be a problem :) Somehow related: The european union standardized a format for a CV: https://europass.cedefop.

I'd really love to do this too, but I just finished my studies and feel bad about spending 300 Euros on a scanner. Does anybody have good alternatives?

It is WAY easier to scale (up AND down) over several nodes. So if you've got BIG amounts of text that you have to fulltext-search, Riak might be the better option.

This is something that is completely confusing to me. Berlin seems to have a lot of interesting Jobs with "fun" languages (ruby, python, even some scala, ...). Down in the south (Stuttgart), it's all C or Java and most projects seem to be b

Interesting move. We just bought two Tesla Cards for a university project so I know how much people could save by just prototyping on a "small" card that can do ?OpenCL? and then using a Quadruple Extra Large instance at $2.10 per hour for

Great talk, I'm really developing a nerdcrush on big data, nosql and machine learning. These are fun times :)

The annoying thing is that e.g. flash will ignore that and try to open a socket. This means that it will use the regular connection and not the tunnel. This also means that hulu decides not to work because flash doesn't respect proxy settin

I'd love to be able to use it, but it's not available in Germany. While I can work around that with a VPN, I'd love to get a break from getting shown the same "5 hour energy" commercial 5-6 times in a row... As far as I saw, there are no ch

Using "Z" as a key makes it really hard for Germans to play the game since for us, y and z are switched on the keyboard. Using x,c,v or 1,2,3 would be better in this case :) Other than this: fun game

The question is why Python calls it "dir" when you just want to see a list of the object's methods...

Oh sorry then, I don't use Java a lot these days... It just seemed weird to me that I had to include it. I'm used to this functionality being available without any additional steps because it is implemented in something like an "Object" cla

That's cool, but the sad part is that this is a common feature with most other languages and not just some added library. Still great that you show what's possible :) Also: does anybody know why Java core classes don't have examples in the

by rb2k_ 16y ago
I think it's because Java is just plain and simple a boring language. Most people would agree that Java is a tad verbose and over-patternized. It doesn't do any "fancy" stuff like functional programming, it doesn't have a lot of "sexy" libr

I only use a BuyVM VPS it to run a cheap (15 usd/yr) VPN that allows me to do things that usually are restricted to US IPs . I bought it as a replacement for another VPS I have, but I was too lazy so far to complete the setup, so I can't gu

Also look at dynamo based systems like cassandra and riak (riak seems to have a better load balancing at the moment, cassandra is a bit more "bumpy")
