TL;DR (I don't blame you, it's not that funny): Have you already established a language for your project or team? Yes: Keep using that fucking language. Unless you can't accomplish your goals with your current langua

Well, this works the other way around too, right? If you invite, or accept applications from, someone who is primarily noted for {bar}, then whatever your name, official agenda, or spokespeople say, you are now hosting a conference tolerant

I'm afraid I don't understand the point you're making with "computer says no". > Genetic algorithms have designed circuitry that we failed to even understand at first but that did work. This is an excellent examp

Twitter's Futures were developed when Scala's Futures weren't tail-recursive (and so not really production-quality). There's probably an item on the roadmap to port Finagle to using scala.concurrent.Future but I doubt it

I've taught Scala to tens of engineers. The golden path is the Coursera course "Functional Programming Principles in Scala"[1]. It's a pretty comprehensive set of lessons, by the author of the language, of how to tastefu

Something like this in Scala: it doesn't have the json read/writing but only because I lost interest, not because it's intrinsically hard. https://gist.github.com/hythloday/6246a352c9e9d0150a4b

On HN, I suspect there's high participation the group of rational, logical thinkers who consider themselves superior to the fears and insecurities that compel the typical "joiner." If this was irony, it was splendidly done.

I only skimmed the tutorial, but in Scala/Finagle: val (friendsX, friendsY) = (friendsOf(x), friendsOf(y)) for { fx <- friendsX fy <- friendsY } yield (fx intersect fy).size really liking the look of this, than

You have no problem with her husband "bringing up a personal conflict" using a legal system that you are obliged to pay for, but a woman using a voluntary site to fund her defence makes you uncomfortable? Check your fly, sir, your

OS uptime does not equal application uptime. :) Are you comfortable sharing your application's actual availability? I'd love to throw away my preconceptions about redundancy but I find it hard to believe you can reach five 9s with

I looked at your other comments but couldn't see anything enlightening. I really enjoy Scala's type system and would love an excuse to learn Rust; what can Rust's type system do that Scala's can't? (I saw you mentio

I would suggest you do a bit more research on the roots of the civil war. You could start with the Wikipedia page on Siad Barre, the dictator who was ousted: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siad_Barre Illuminating quotes,

A vote of no confidence in the HoC is constitutionally a signal for the PM to resign, but it's just a custom (which some PMs, notably Pitt, have ignored). The PM is appointed by the Sovereign, and actually doesn't need to be an MP
