It's an academic-only language, mostly used for teaching students about programming. Anyone sane would not use it in production, as the output would likely be "ill-typed".

I was surprised that they chose Make for the frontend assets, but sticked to SBT for the scala app. Wouldn't it make sens to have everything under one build system, _especially_ because SBT is an absolute pain to work with? This commen

Atari is preparing the launch of its new linux console, the VCS (scheduled for next year). Apart from being a great toy for tinkering, it would be quite interesting if we could run a full steam client and some windows games on it ! Controls

Sometimes, a project's origin is not the one you would assume. For example, did you known that Docker was originally built by French engineers ?

This ! I cannot say how frustrating it is to hear a "yes" answer to an inaudible question. Please repeat any question you ear while on stage, it makes all the differences between "okay" and "good" in a talk.

Regulation come in many forms, and I believe the first step will be GDPR.

I wholeheartedly agree. Deleting inappropriate (facebook) data collection is what GDPR is made for.

So, you're still shipping data between your primary datastore and memsql, or you've switched entirely on memsql ?

This is super interesting ! I have a few questions ! How does the demand affect the frequency ? Is there a logical unit, somewhere, responsible of "communicating" through the network ? Or is it a physical effect ? > When a fact

Scala has a steep learning curve, so we're looking for devs having at least one or two real production projects (that aren't using spark) on their belt. It turns out to be quite a challenge to find someone who have experience in t

Strangely, if you switch Elm for Scala, you get the exact opposite result (at least where I work). We got mostly inexperienced candidates and the ones able to understand the codebase can get more interesting offers elsewhere.

While MongoDB might be a decent document store, I found that Elasticsearch is better at this job (as a secondary datastore). Its aggregation capabilities are juste far better than MongoDB's with the added bonus of being really good for

I would prefer to stick with webpack and make it easy and fast again, rather than changing tools -again. We've seen this with grunt, gulp, and now webpack. What if, we're changing strategy this time ?
