Makes sense. Higher res seems overkill for a 27" for desktop space (font will be too small), unless perhaps 5K is able to scale down properly since it is 4x1440p.

1440p 60Hz 27" and IPS has no future market thats why there is no new stuff on the market.

Where's the future in then for 27" (or higher)? 4K+?

Simply put, 1440p is being squeezed out. ... We're seeing more manufacturers back out of the 1440p space,

Where does that leave 21:9 monitors? Are they going to make the jump to 4K as well?

I've been seriously considering the 27" Dell UltraSharp U2715H (1440p). I mainly use my computer for productivity suites, and some light gaming. With 4K, I'm afraid the pixels would be too small on a 27", so I'd have to get something bigger. I do some light gaming on the side (Portal, HL2, etc.).

Can you provide a reference or link?

What was it like before you changed it?

No, but as a percentage of how much the company is spending on costs (salaries, office space, other perks, taxes, etc.), it becomes minute. I wouldn't be surprised if they could claim them as tax deductions either, since they're a business expense. But I'm no tax specialist.

I've seen benchmarks where RoboVM's compiled code surpassed Swift and ObjC's compiled code in both performance and memory usage.

Very interesting. Do you happen to have links to said benchmarks?

but leaves out a lot of the weird, yet powerful things in Scala

Can you give some examples, please?

What power do you lose out on? I know HKTs are one thing, and better pattern matching.

How would you be able to differentiate T?? from T? in Swift? If it were Option[Option[T]] you can handle all 3 cases explicitly if needed (Some(Some(T)), Some(None), and None). In certain cases that might be desirable. Otherwise, you just call .flatten and turn it into an Option[T].

whereas Scala's Option type incurs runtime penalties.

This can be addressed if/when the JVM acquires value types from what I understand.

Since software developers are in the six figure range these days in terms of salary the cost is really negligible (if the person is running a legit startup company).

That is what I was thinking. Unless the start up is not based in the US or a place with high dev salaries.

Out of curiosity, how much do the articles or subscriptions cost? How do they compare to one of your employee's salaries?

because care must be taken to ensure that any side-effecting actions are idempotent; they can be executed more than once around failures.

If they're recovering the entire state from an earlier step, and replaying the stream, how would side-effecting actions affect the results, since by definition all the state was stored then recovered?

stack allocated objects are usually copy by value

Don't move semantics address that issue (e.g. the && type in C++11)?

What does democracy have to do with the happiness of citizens?

Sounds scary! Hopefully nothing critical that would cause an outage if something goes wrong? :P

Thanks!

The Louvre Abu Dhabi is being architected using F#.

Interesting. Source?

Haha. He's actually saying "lalalalalala".

"la" is "no" in Arabic, so "nonononono".

Ameen.

I notice you didn't reply to my section about what is more important, how well a slave is treated or the fact that they are a slave at all.

I mentioned that comparing societal norms of different eras is not something straightforward to do. Also towards the end, that I would need to do more reading about the issue since it is not something that affects us today. That being said, I hope I addressed your other questions, especially the ones that sparked this whole thread.

On a side note, pork was a one time ban as far as I know. However, banning drinking happened over stages, instead of a one shot order.
