Did you read the OP? It mentions a lot of people who go by handles precisely to avoid stalking, harassment, etc.

A lot of people have pre-existing pseudonyms that _are_ their online identities. Should they not be allowed to use that identity in Google+?

Twitter started looking at Scala before the Summize acquisition. Also, to my knowledge, Scala was not being used at Summize.

Stanford's intro CS sequence is CS106A, CS106B, CS107, and CS108. 106A is taught it Java. (It was taught in C until 2004. It's nice to be able to teach for-loops without also having to explain pointers.) 106B is taught in C++. 107 is now th

It's not the reading or even the submitting and commenting that worries me. Reading affects no one but the reader, and HN has pretty effective self-regulatory mechanisms for maintaining the quality of submissions and comments. What worries

I think it's great. I wish more people were as eager to learn new things as the OP. I do think it comes at a cost to the rest of the community, though, when so many people participating in a technical community don't really understand much

Anecdotally, New York feels like a vibrant, budding startup scene. It's cool to see the data corroborate that. New York had as many job postings as Palo Alto and Mountain View combined.

I've been using Finagle over the last couple of weeks to build a small little side-project. It's been almost a religious experience for me. This is how network programming should be done.

To add to what chimeracoder said above: a lot of our products are data driven. The prime example is Explore, our recommendation engine. It recommends places that you might want to go to, based on your past checkin history, your friends' che

Let me know when you figure out how to statically type check those. You could publish a paper or two, I'm sure.

This is hard because Scala's XML support affects the parser. At the lexical level. Scala does have compiler plugins, but it doesn't have parser plugins.

See my answer on Quora to "Will Scala ever remove XML literals?" http://www.quora.com/Will-Scala-ever-remove-XML-literals Summary: No. At the time that Scala was started, built-in support for XML showcased one area were object-oriented de

Stanford's CS department hires lecturers (not professors) to teach many undergraduate classes, especially the introductory ones. Lecturers aren't expected to do research, and are hired based on their teaching ability. The ones I had were al

Huh? Entrepreneurs deal with lots of very difficult challenges. Haters are unpleasant, but not really a "challenge".

C#'s new "dynamic" type and Scala's new Dynamic trait are a step in that direction.

If a slave is partitioned from its master, it won't be able to serve requests. (Unless the request is a read query marked as "slaveOk", in which case you admit inconsistency.) I highly doubt anyone would claim otherwise.
114.
by jorgeortiz85 15y ago
In a replica set configuration, all reads and writes are routed to the master by default. In this scenario, consistency is guaranteed. (You can optionally mark reads as "slaveOk", but then you admit inconsistency.) This does sacrifice avail

While the given approach for AtomicMap is interesting and performs well in the common case, it suffers from a few flaws: some fixable, some fundamental. First, storing polymorphic values in the map (either true values or OneShotThunks, depe

Reply to your edit: No, they meant for the string to have two backslashes, not one. Otherwise the domain is wrong.

by jorgeortiz85 15y ago
Because Java/Scala strings use \ as an escape character, so the string "\\" parses as a string with a single backslash character, not two.

by jorgeortiz85 15y ago
I think they meant: val k = """gWU`UAXYjT[ig\\eBWca""" Otherwise one backslash escapes the other and the string isn't the appropriate length.

ScalaSTM is hardly experimental. Its reference implementation is based on CCSTM, which has been around for a while now. CCSTM was built by Nathan Bronson, who spent a good chunk of his working life building several transactional memory syst
