With dependent types, each `e.key` has it's own and separate type. So, if you have two `e`s, the type of the first e's key will not match the type of the second e's key. So, with: def process(p: Path, key: p.Key): Something =

I can think of plenty cases where I would want to limit the input space of a function to a known set of literals. Just as an example; the `document.getContext` [0] api takes a string argument to select the context canvas. Without literal ty

> Or an other way of saying it is that your approach of walling off modules as either java-collection or scala-collection is kind of like saying "Java and Scala collections work well together, so long as you don't have to use t

That's very exciting. Rust really seems to establish itself as a serious contender for the low-level niche that until so far has almost exclusively been occupied by C. I wonder how much of an obstacle the lack of the stable ABI and the

It's only a problem if you can't decide which part of your project to write with which language. If I have to use Java, I put it into a separate sub-project and make sure that I have a nice API to interface between the subprojects

Scala 3 takes the most common use cases for implicits and makes them more ergonomic. Implicits are still in the language, but not exposed as concept. Odersky called the approach for Scala 3 "intent over mechanism."

Maybe you could have a look at this independent report that looks at China's actions and evaluates them in the context of the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. [0] https://newlinesins

I rather like the idea of this ad campaign. If it shakes up a handful of people to be more aware of how much data is gathered and used against them, I consider that a win.

They were both intoxicated and Pretty is not a very big name, not even in the Scala community. It's not as if we were talking about Martin Odersky. The guy gives talks from time to time and contributes code to some projects. That'

This just leads to sill propositions and exclamations like "Now we all have to sign a contract before we kiss another!". Human communication is complicated and complex and error prone. Combine it with sexuality and you have a mess

Beating someone up and having sex with them are two very distinct things. And saying sex is "battery that involves sexual penetration" is no helping either. Just painting this as a simplistic "powerful male predator abuses he

> If the guy was simply a better date we wouldn't be talking about this. This is what makes me really dislike this story. The use of power to extort sexual favors is topic that needs serious discussion. But occurrences like these wh

It's still too many passes. https://scala-ci.typesafe.com/grafana/dashboard/db/scala-ben... The Scala 3 compiler has much fewer passes though.

This is what drove me away from Java; the ungodly amount of magic that's required to make it economic. If it all works, it's fine. But as soon as something fails... Get yourself ready from some frustrating hours.

> IDE support for Scala is half as good as Java and I suspect a good reason is the language. The auotcomplete in intelliJ is almost as bad as it is for python and the IDE really struggles to understand the code; This is not my experience

> Now you have exponential problems. Scala has less support, slower builds, and features Scala-devs are eager to abuse to make the code unreadable. Unfortunately, the Scala compiler is quite a bit slower than javac. In practice this does

I've been working with Scala professionally for the last 8 years and I consider it pretty stable. Code I've written for Scala 2.10/2.11 still compiles with 2.13. I think the biggest change for me was the redesigned collection

Well, segregating children in classes according to their perceived ethnicity doesn't really strike me as a good idea, now matter how it is presented.

Hrm. The USA has many faults but being a single-party state is not one of them. What you describe however is true of any social structure. Vocal, highly engaged minorities dominate the discussion and thus steer normative process. The progre

This ruling has nothing to do what so ever with the GPL.

Google did not steal code. Dual licensing is not a reason but a practice. Unlicensed use of code is still unlicensed and punishable by the terms of the license. Dual licensing still exists and will continue existing. Please.

The dissenting opinion is stupid. Thomas may be a bad justice, but he has even less of a clue about software devolopment. Of course there is a difference between an API and the code in general. This decision sidestepped the question of whet

I'm so relieved. This could have forced such dramatic changes in how we develop software. And any other decision would have been a crippling blow to FLOS software. Now if we only could get the SC to invalidate software patents in gener

Seems to be an unreasonable assumption given the many idiosyncrasies and shortcuts human mental architecture has. I can simply remove them and have a better implementation. Humans are not thinking machines. We're reproduction machines.
