I tend to avoid writing Scala code with lots of OOP patterns, because it really adds complexity for things you don't need to. The "Functional Way" wins every time in terms of readability and simplicity, when you are accustome

As someone who worked with OCaml and C++, and now working with Scala, I must concur. First weeks or months are hard, because you have a lot of new mechanism (and syntax) to learn. Then, when things gets easier, designing reusable components

I wish it could be the same in France. With the recent debates around the surveillance law, I am under the impression that we go back on the exact same path you are describing, 14 years later. It upsets me that we don't learn from what

Wow, this is beautiful. Quick question, is it possible to have an archive of the logs for when I want to debug my crashing app? How much can I go back in time?

Encrypting all communications is certainly the way to go. But, I wonder if we can make these systems completely inefficient by flooding them with false positives. Assuming we can figure out the patterns they are looking for in our communica

I wear a moto 360 since October. Almost all key functionality are completely useless, and Android wear is so poorly designed, that it gets in the way when you actually want to use the small set of useful functions. The only thing that'

I used OCaml before switching to Scala professionally, and I must say I prefer Scala's type system. It makes almost no space for errors/mistakes when you do things conventionally, like putting types on public members. The idea of
