Do-notation is Haskell is purely syntactic sugar over function calls. You can remove do-notation from Haskell and still write the exact same programs (with monads and all). Also, monads are not about state anymore than classes in Java are a

What's imperative about monads? Or rather, what is not functional? Why should they be avoided?

Wow, I'm on my second battery for my T430s and about to replace it soon. Battery life is < 1 hour, even with a new one I usually wouldn't get more than three hours. :-(

It's also very overpriced. I just moved into a new apartment and I am paying 9€/sqm cold in a very central location. This is very cheap. 11-14€ is more realistic, but even with utilities included you would never have to pay 24€&#x

I admit that I am not an expert on Scala, but I am confused about your "Person" example. I thought that this was exactly the common use case that wouldn't cost you an allocation. According to http://docs.scala-l

Can you tell me what's the problem with multiple inheritance if your superclasses only consist of pure virtual functions? From [1]: "Bjarne Stroustrup: I had a lot of problems explaining that to people and never quite understood w

C++ doesn't have the interface keyword, but that does not mean you cannot have a class that is a pure interface (all methods abstract).

I don't know where you have those numbers from, but they are very inaccurate. The average household income in Berlin in 2012 was 1650€ net per month [1], so that would be about 20k per year. According to what you wrote, Berlin streets

We also thought this way. We had our daily standup at half past ten, which was right in the middle between coming in and going to lunch. Now we moved it to quarter to two, which for most of us means a bit after lunch. Now we have no interru
