Pretty sure dependencies can come straight from a git url, bypassing npm. Put something on npm, and in your package.json you can depend on something straight up from github. npm will install and build that and it may break your stuff, it&#x

I'm sorry, it is over the top, I'm just so tired of npm libraries I depend on going dark or changing things without updating the version.

I think it's a bit over the top to compare Scala to JavaScript and node.js. If you're comparing the two you have way more flexibility than you should because these are two widely divergent tools with different implications reachin

I wish I could have gone back in time to look at a codebase before saying yes to a job. I wouldn't have taken it had I seen it.

All I was saying is that is possible to actually have an informed opinion about this other than to rely on whatever you think you might have picked up from your own personal life experiences.

That background taskbar looks green and blue like windows xp. Is that right? How could this be 1995 if that's windows xp.

I think the gist of the problem is that when Google acquires a company the way they handle the non-technical staff can be a bit off-putting. Instead of working hard to find them a place within Google during the acquisition process, or just

I get that. I totally agree with the point that smartphone use while driving is bad, that's why it's also illegal. But it's dangerous for everyone, not just bicycle riders. Personally, and I'm sure the downvotes will kee

The thing that bothers me is the complete disconnect between the recruiters and the interviewer. The recruiter's job is to funnel as many developers as possible into the gaping maw of Google's human resource hiring system. So they

Eh, pull requests can actually create a lot of work for an OSS project, especially if they are not very good. So make sure the project wants your help, you understand what they want, and opt for quality over the number of pull requests.

I use argonaut.io and it isn't really hard so much as tedius compared to JavaScript or Python.

I wonder how complicated it is to parse JSON in Scala.js. It's pretty involved in regular Scala and incredibly easy in JavaScript, so what's it like in Scala.js?

This didn't work for grove.io. Nobody pays money for IRC. There is a tiny, in the not worth it department, fraction of people willing to pay a couple of dollars for an IRC client. At best you could build something like HipChat or Olark

I knew a little Java, mostly from working with Android. I didn't feel like I was able to do anything within minutes. The very first thing I tried to do though was parse JSON and getting a JSON library working with sbt took about 2 days

I use sbt for the moment. I may figure out how to get sbt to autocompile with changes. Intellij, while a very good and powerful IDE, can't really replace vim for a vim user because vim users learn vim esoterics by infusing the commands

Thanks for pointing me to your blog post, that's very useful. The points about what are great about Scala also very interesting. I really like scala, despite the hard work it takes to get going.
