Given the limitations of the platform, there really isn't a such a thing as a well-behaved JVM library that depends on other libraries, unfortunately. Oracle really dropped the ball by only serving their own needs with the module sys

What's the harm of a single "premium" no-ads Google that most people don't use? The ongoing cost to maintain two versions that are differentiated that way seems pretty low, given that it's really just removing some

Common or not, it is ridiculous to allow a company to insulate themselves against disparagement for unknown future conduct. It would be one thing to rule out disparaging them if it were backward-looking. You could think about what they had

There is a tremendous difference between "we have three servers so our stuff probably won't go down" and "the system could theoretically remain in use forever even if we disappeared from the world".

It could be reasonable to somehow have control over things like the difficulty of mining or to be able to spawn new currency at a reduced cost via some sort of master certificate while still allowing transfer without communicating with a ce

I think the argument is that when every value inhabits the sole type and everything accepts that type, you get a system that works the way "untyped" languages do. Why have two separate concepts when you can gain some true conclusi

For comprehensions are currently tremendously limited vs async/await. They constrain the top-level of your code structure to a tiny subset of the language.

Yep! But they got to drive more aggressively without a substantial increased risk to their safety! Being able to go faster in the rain is useful in and of itself!

I would say: it is `Set` and `List` that are wrong in that example, not `for`. That said, `for` really does have some issues (enter https://github.com/oleg-py/better-monadic-for/blob/master/RE... )

As someone who likes both FP and curlies, I for one am glad to have at least one language that caters to that combination of preferences.

> Scala 3 code can use Scala 2 artifacts because the Scala 3 compiler understands the classfile format for sources compiled with Scala 2.12 and upwards. I feel like this isn't getting much attention but it is a huge deal. A big part

> drivers used the improved braking performance to drive faster in poorer conditions That's not the ideal outcome but it's still a net win, no?

That may be what things are converging on but in my opinion, any system that imposes a "single dependency version per compilation unit" policy is not a "real" dependency management solution. That approach creates a treme

It seems like they are only discontinuing the hosted swarm part for now and keeping the rest up. That said, it may just be a matter of time before the great of the stuff goes down.

Python programmers call them "types" but type system people don't.

Real IPv6 support is another one. I get that it's harder for them because they do such advanced networking at such a scale but... at this point their statements of support seem like empty talk. They are a late adopter.

I don't object to "run" but that might be a bad example because machines have been "running" for centuries and because "run" has a tremendous number of separate definitions already. I don't actually

It's weird to me that there seems to be a trend of using "flight" as a metaphor for the runtime of our code. We have "preflight checks" in CORS and now a "flight recorder" on the JVM. In their canonical us

Noted. I've apologized and will be more careful in the future. Thanks!

Thank you for clarifying. I apologize for my overly aggressive response.

OAuth doesn't specifically call for JWTs. From OAuth's point of view, all of the tokens, codes, IDs, and secrets are opaque character strings.

I thought that Bazel's notion of "incremental building" was at the project level of granularity too. Is that incorrect?

Cloud SQL is more like plain RDS, no?

Yep. I also wish that you didn't have to use a special proprietary RPC API for writes... These are connected because it means that it's tough to prototype on something cheaper and then switch over.
