Wow, according to some quick googling that's true. I didn't expect that at all, as everyone here is paying very little for their health insurance. A basic one with no frills costs you about 250 CHF =~ 250 USD per month, and that's with some

I think they are allowed to make a profit on the baseline insurance, they just usually don't in order to attract people with low rates. On the website of the Bundesamt fuer Gesundheit and on Wikipedia I couldn't find any mention of such a r

Switzerland's system is for-profit, but otherwise pretty-much the same than Germany's or Japan's, and it works just as well. The two crucial points are that everyone in the country is required by law to have health insurance (thus distribut

It's an odd kind of challenge when you get arrested, tried and sentenced for succeeding.

I didn't intend to say the method is fascist, just that it reminds of practices that were and are employed by fascist regimes. If everyone's happy, then there's of course no reason to complain. I just don't see how employees could be happy

I see the idea, but you can take everything too far. To the entire company and to all investors? Every day? Really? That's borderline fascist surveillance regime.

The first one is meant to be pro-CL. It says that there are problems that are so difficult or large that they can only be solved with some of the unique features Lisp, such as macros. Of course, all programming languages in use are Turing-c

128/75 is just fine, though, according to standard guidelines, even if the 128 is a bit close to the upper limit of the normal range.

That's funny, my memories must be all fantasy then? Pretty arrogant to tell me what I can and cannot have found at IIT. I have found all of the things mentioned above, and they were more the norm than the exception.

Also in reply to sid0 below - ok, so it seems I've maybe picked the wrong term saying it's "realistic". Obviously, the book is a novel, and on top of that partly a comedy. Hopefully no one believes that crashing into a professor's home and

It sounds like they drew a lot of inspiration from the book Five Point Someone by Chetan Bhagat, which follows three similar students making their way through IIT Delhi, one of the most prestigious (real) universities of India. It's a great

Faster than "the single-threaded C version." I found this a bit shocking - on a 32-core machine, this is an achievement? Obviously it's not Clojure's fault as Scala and Java are in the same range, but it was a surprise.

You could have tiles forget the scent/roads forget the traffic. With each simulation step, decrease it until it's gone after however long you want it to be remembered. Then, ghosts would have to be somewhat near pacman, and cars are only in

FreeBSD also has a binary package management system, see http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/packages-using.... . The ports take precedence, though, in that they can have newer versions and not all packages on all architectures ma

"io language" or "io programming language" work just fine. Of course I don't know what I'm missing, but I assume everyone who writes about Io uses one of these words in their text.
