I believe (hope) I haven't been the most distracted parent - I banned all news apps and facebook, twitter etc. from my smartphone long ago. Three weeks ago I broke my iPhones screen on a Friday, and we did go on a family trip over the

I'm working since 3 years at a growing startup that has been hiring Scala Engineers at least every half year since I started. In the last ~18 months, the amount of CVs we're getting has been constantly increasing. Part of that is

Their marketing claim of "Full Self-Driving Hardware" is evil-genius - it's very similar to the Halting problem[0] - Turing proofed that we can not develop an algorithm that can predict whether any program will eventually hal

I wrote some RAML recently and found it very good for creating a machine-readable representation of an API. We also wanted to make it human-readable and use it as our API reference (with the API console). I found it to be mostly good, but h

The Soviet Gas Pipeline explosion - if the whole CIA story is true at all - should not be labelled a bug... The code allegedly did exactly what it's creator intended ;-)

Looks really cool. I was first thinking it saves the JSON with the new Postgres JSON support, but saving it as relational data is even more impressive! I'd say if the OPTIONS would return a JSON Schema (+ RAML/Swagger) instead of

What is so ugly about it? Swift tries to be somewhat close to the usual C-syntax (it's supposed to be the successor of Obj-C, after all). For someone used to C-syntax, I guess the main deviation is that the return type is in the back a

I'm 100% for doing some sports, and sticking with it while doing a startup. I'm 100% AGAINST doing it for a "guaranteed win" :-) First of all, there may be a direct relationship between effort and win when you're an

I have never used a gift card at starbucks before, but that bill [0] doesn't make any sense to me. He says he has two cards: One has $15, one has $5. Card 3203 is billed $14.68 and card 6075 is billed $2.02. The remaining balance on ca

You're right, there isn't anything wrong with the six stages per se. The root cause is really that (a) they're forcing a stateful model onto the web and (b) that the way they're keeping/restoring the state is expens

Well, a lot of Java web apps ARE slow as hell, but one can't really blame Java-the-language (or the JVM) for it. Two examples from my experience: JSF is doing lots of "magic" trying to keep state. It isn't exactly quick

In a couple of years, there will be no need to own a car for most people. Lots of car-manufacturers have already started to build out the infrastructure for "cars on demand" (e.g. drive now, car2go). In Berlin, there is already al

Yep, you are right. I looked deeper into the Scala implementation of Option [1] to see how Scala achieves that, and whether I can port their implementation to Swift. Long story short: Scala has a bottom type [2], Swift does not, therefore t

Nice article, well done! Minor question/comment regarding the implementation of Result.map: Why do you create a new Result in the error case? Result is immutable (or am I missing something specific to Swift here?), so the old and new R
