   I have used python and scala for work and I find myself wishing to be able to use scala a lot when I use python (especially when using pandas or trying to multi process/thread). Not so much the other way around even though I also love

   I saw a lot of myself in your article. Came to scala in 2014 via spark, wrote a lot of OOP code and then slowly moved into the FP space. These days I find myself writing python a lot (for machine learning) but just miss the type safety net

   Interestingly (maybe not), a lot of people seem to be upset about the new address bar. To me, this is the biggest improvement. I don’t have a lot of custom config in Firefox, mainly use it and DuckDuckGo to no be using Google, and find it r

   We use Azure DevOps extensively at my work and, after having used GitHub, Gitlab, self hosted solutions, Jenkins, TeamCity... DevOps ranks dead last. It's the entire experience. The UI is terribly clunky everywhere. The worst for me ar

   For me, it is my "adult" McDonalds. I have 5 artisan coffee shops in a two block radius yet I mostly go to starbucks 3 blocks away for a few reasons: - I can order online and have the order ready for pickup when I get there - I ac

   I am trying to switch from Chrome to FF, but FF is making it really hard. Some sites freeze regularly. Facebook the other day was trying to open a YouTube link. 30 seconds of complete unresponsiveness. Google products work unreliable as wel

   I use protobuf at work all the time (not google) and prefer them over almost all other serialization formats. To be fair, I mainly work in Scala, C# and JavaScript where great implementations exist. In the case of Scala, IntelliJ just needs

    Interesting thought regarding the r&d spending in the US versus the rest of the world and hence subsidizing global health care. I did look at some numbers in a more recent publication [1](page 21) where the latest r&d numbers for bo

    I actually built a company in a similar situation. I live in Vancouver while my cofounders live in Berlin. It meant a lot of early mornings for all founders, same as late nights to maximize communication. I am German and only moved here a f

    I just read in, I think, Bloomberg, that the unemployment rate for STEM secondary education is around 2.4%. Do you have any numbers to support your statement (I obv don't have any)?

    the dc/os update is only available to new customers though. Deployments are always stuck with the version they were deployed with. IMHO ACS is nothing more than a template, not an actual service that you deploy your containers to (like
