Nope... US$120k is most likely the base price (car + taxes). The Certificate of Enrolment (CoE) is market rate, and right now it's an additional SG$85k to SG$111k depending on the vehicle category (on top of the base price). https:&#x

I looked into Vue + Webpack vs Vue + Brunch on my last project. I ended up with Brunch because the requirements are fairly basic and Brunch are easier to grok. Had the requirements be a little bit more complex, I could have easily gone for

The Scala example, yes... The Elixir one? Is it actually a Monad? I figure it's simply destructuring + pattern matching (against the value of the first tuple value, :ok or :error atom). To expand a bit more, it's not like Scala&#x

I believe these are referred to Railway-Oriented Programming. I've seen several other examples for Elixir (incl. ones using macros), but by far this is the 'cleanest' syntax :) Here's a similar construct in Scala:

IMO the ProcessBuilder class is not a very good example, as the operators are designed to match the existing shell / bash ones (e.g. `#>>` is similar in behaviour to bash's `>>`).

I'm currently working with Scala and recently dabbling with Elixir and Phoenix. It's a good language and great platform, however, I still prefer static typing. I'm still getting used to dynamic typing in Elixir. Most of the t

Faster CPU does not eliminate GC pauses if your workload consumes a large amount of RAM. This is one of the other benefits which Zing provides.

Yeah, this is another problem that I had. Plenty of full-tower cases these days support EATX, but SSI-EEB not so much (at least, the ones that can support it out-of-the-box). In the end, I went with one of the Phanteks Enthoo [1] cases. De

For me it brings a lot of benefits: easier to find parts, consumer-level parts pricing, and lower TDP. I'm running a dual Xeon as you mentioned, through buying ex-fleet parts at less than half price of new ones. Several issues I experi

I think the JVM is a really good runtime, and somehow its poor reputation came from Java applet security holes and the verbosity of the Java language. And no, I don't think you are crazy. I had a really bad experience trying out Spring

In terms of language: yes, you are correct. I had seriously contemplated switching to F# before Scala, and attended a full-day workshop for it, however the dealbreaker for me was the poor tooling support (this was around 2011). After switch

Thanks! I agree Ruby looks to be far user-friendly in this context. Just to add, my work revolves around the JVM ecosystem, but mostly in Scala and some Kotlin... Both already provide a nicer interface for Java :) e.g. in the context of col

Perhaps there was a constraint to use Java lang and not Scala, thus Scalaz probably can't apply here.
