Hmm I guess they have been actively shrinking the jar (it isn't 4 megs but ~5.5... still a massive improvement [1]). As far as kitchen sink I'm still not sure what idiomatic Scala is especially with the likes of Scalaz. Maybe mode

I have actually wondered that myself (Scala). I was so excited about Scala years ago (2006). One of my TAs from college was working on the language as well. It finally looked like an OCaml for the masses. Over time my excitement changed. I

It is also because it is multithreaded (IIRC). There is another one written in Go that is for sure. GNU grep is faster one file (at least the last time I tested).

It is funny but I had pretty much the exact weight loss as the OP had doing intermittent fasting. Sadly I wasn't as rigorous on the recording of weight loss but I went from 195 to 175 over roughly the same time period as the OP. One th

Yes but there is no where you can enter your screen name. I should have clarified that in my question because I got down voted for asking this. The whole down voting thing imo really has to go. Just flag answers or up vote. The whole bro in

What is with the User/Score/Browser table? I only did like 4 of the tests and that thing popped up. I would finish it but I have some other things to do.

I wonder if this "anxiety" is correlated to personality type. I personally find libraries extremely relaxing and I'm not particularly academic or intelligent albeit I appreciate the pursuits. I bet other INTP types are simila

I feel ambiance and decor of a restaurant is highly underrated. It is one of the reasons I do not like food trucks (I assume a street food stall is analogous but perhaps I'm wrong). There is a difference between dining and just eating

Seriously? Did you not see Canada, Argentina, New Zealand, Australia. For me it was relatively balanced and mainly the US really throws it off. There are also some red countries that I would seriously not want to live in.

I appreciate your answer. In large part what you have said is what I have done in the past. The question/issue is can this ever be automated or made easier with out reliance on expensive PaaS services? Right now it seems the easy answe

Many of the books I would have been covered already but one that hasn't (ie not found via option-f) is: "Is God a Mathematician?" by Mario Livio It is a wonderful exploration and history of math, science and light theology

Well I'm not French and I was just vacationing but this is what I saw: * French eating/dining is extremely bakery heavy. * Every meal bread is served and lots of it (most Americans think white bread is the worse thing you can eat)

This is anecdotal but I was just in France recently and the portion sizes were comparable to most urban areas in the US that I have eaten at (obviously it is not comparable to the rural areas engorging Golden Corral). The big difference is

We do this and we measure the use of the feature and health with a metrics library such as codahale. I highly recommend using an easy to use metrics library to test feature flags.

As a Java developer I am always so envious of how attentive Microsoft is with .NET. Maybe it is the grass is greener but it feels like oracle just sits on its ass and ignores most of the Java community.

I like the effort and general idea/content but for me almost any sort of plain text code generation is just not that impressive. It would have been interesting if you had for example generated byte code or enhanced some existing code (

Yes but there is also abuse and or complexity that doesn't make it easy. One of the classic examples for me at least is OCaml's Camlp. For Lisp like languages it is easier to have a macro language but for typed languages I think i

I think many will agree that the import statement example is fairly weak. If you are writing import statements by hand you should just seriously consider the benefits of using an IDE. That being said I use code generation instead of the IDE
